Celebrate Your Story! #229

Celebrate Your Story! Link Party

Hello friends!  Welcome to another Celebrate Your Story!  I hope you’re all well and holding it together.  I took a break from the blog last week and started making fabric masks.  A request came through my church, and I knew this was a way I could help out.  It’s been very therapeutic for me to make these masks, as I enjoy sewing but also to be doing something useful.  I know it’s not much, but it’s something.

Thanks for coming to the party…let’s get stated! 

As I recently designed a blue and yellow tablescape myself, I was instantly drawn to this French Provincial design by Beth from Whispers of the Heart. The Ralph Lauren salad plates are gorgeous, and I love the tablecloth, too!

This breakfast hash looks just like something I’d order from my favorite diner. Oh, how I miss going out to eat! Dave from That Guy Who Grills shared this great recipe. Looks like I’ll be making my own diner style breakfast soon!

These beautiful hats are called fascinators, and Debbee from Debbee’s Buzz made them for her guests to wear at her Alice in Wonderland themed “unbirthday” party. Check out her blog to learn how to make them…there are several different styles!

Penny from Penny’s Vintage Home has created a lovely sanctuary in her backyard. It looks like the perfect place to pray, meditate or just enjoy a book and a cup of tea.

I really enjoyed taking a tour of Sandra from Dinner at Eight‘s spring garden. It starts in February when there’s still snow on the ground! The azaleas and wisteria are my favorites!

I’ve been doing more baking than usual with all of the extra time at home. Next on my list will be this lemon cheesecake from Julie of My Wee Abode. It looks so good!

The most clicked link of the week is from Deb of Dragonfly Treasure. She made this unique ribbon doorway. Not only does it block out light, but it’s decorative, too.

  7. That’s wonderful you’re making masks for those who need them. We’re fortunate enough that my husband’s company supplied employees and their families with masks. Have a wonderful week!

  12. Rebecca, it made my day to see my fascinator tutorial featured —- thanks so very much! I also love how you provide a brief description of the feature and why it appealed to you. Very few linkup hostesses do that. It’s great you are making masks. Wish I found it as therapeutic as you do. It seems to go so slowly as I continue to have mechanical issues with my old machine. Are you using a “pattern” the includes the floral wire at the nose? Flannel inner lining? I’m just curious.

    1. Your fascinators are so unique, Debbee! I’m going to make them with my daughter and have a tea party. She’ll love it!

      I’m using a mask design from YouTube that uses 3 pieces of 10×8 inch cotton fabric. There is a pocket inside for a filter. For the nose, I’m using very thin bendable ribbon, but a pipe cleaner would also work. I was going to include a photo, but I’d taken it on my phone and it was too large to load onto the blog. I’ll send you an email with more information. Have a great week!
