love <3 print sampler

The fruit of my crafty endeavors this summer is another addition to the loveprints in our home – things made with love.

It is an embroidery sampler on upcycled paper, stitched together crazy quilt style with fishing string and embellished with reclaimed beads from an old lampshade.  It rests nicely within the recessed panel of part of a vintage door.

This summer I learned some new stitches and experimented with creating pleasing geometric designs.

.

As soon as I finished, the next challenging task presented itself — curating the room’s accessories to include this new piece without making it look lopsided.

Everything came down, got mixed up and reinstalled.  It is mostly a blend of items representing water and love.

.

And this new loveprint adds its sweet music to the chorus.

Just in case you’re curious about that driftwood thingy hanging over the bed draped with the chandelier prisms, click here.

As always, thank you so much for reading.  Your company gives me such joy!
