Painted Headboard

I've needed a headboard for ages. I've wanted this one from Ballard Design but it was out of my price range. I found a headboard in a thrift store that had a shape I liked. It had a water stain, so I didn't feel too bad about painting. I did a distressed/antique paint technique and then stenciled a French poem in silver and added other silver accents. I'm so pleased with how it turned out.

San Gabriel Shawl

I started this shawl back in 2018 and took a little over a year to finish it.

Frida Cross Stitch

My chiropractor gave me the Feminist Icon Cross Stitch book, and is a fan of Frida. So I stitched up Frida from the book and a quote from her and made it into a little pillow.
