It's Pink Saturday!

Beverly, over at How Sweet the Sound is the hostess for the weekly
Pink Saturday. Go visit her site for the list of pink participants and then go on a journey of PINK!
I really don't do a lot of pink but now that I'm attempting to do Pink Saturdays, I do notice a touch of pink here and there in my home.
This is a wool applique mat that I made several years ago. I love it so much I just can't sell it. It's been hanging in my dining room since it's creation.

The next pink thing that I noticed was in my kitchen. It's a vintage potholder that came from my mother-in-law. I don't know how old it is, but it's so cute that I never actually use it. It's always hanging off a magnetic hook on my fridge.

The potholder sheep gave me the recent design idea....

Oh, I wsh I had taken a better picture of this. I took the sheep from the potholder, tweaked it a bit and came up with this candle mat. I liked the little flower necklaces on them. This mat isn't finished yet, by the way. I need to put a few more finishing touches on it and attach the backing on it yet. Then it goes on Ebay.

There's a close up of the sheep. I get my ideas for designs from all sorts of things, whether it be the flowers growing outside, or a picture from someone's living room, or a flower on someone's dress . For the violet mat that I'm making now, the idea came from the flowers on my wallpaper border in my bedroom.

Other times, I have customers that make requests for certain things. Recently someone asked for a rose and someone else asked for geraniums and someone else has asked for watering cans and someone else wishes for roosters. I just need more time in the day to finish it all!

Happy Pink Saturday to everyone! Thank you for taking the time to visit.
