Look what I finished, lol.
A memory pillow I started a few days ago, and finished it today.
It turned out pretty good, if I say so myself :)
The picture is my Omi (grandmommy) when she was engaged to my Opi (granddaddy), she was 25 here. People say I look a lot like her, yippee!! We kids loved them very very much, they were really the greatest grandparents any kid could have (yes we are biased, lol)
And this is a way to keep her even closer to me than she is already :)
I had been wanting to make one of those for a long time, but never found the right material, etc. SO happy it turned out great :)
(for more pictures, go visit my blog)
Hugs from Marian/Dutchy, a farmgirl from the Netherlands :)

Marian,
What a pretty keep sake and I love the old picture, I have lots of my family going way back, and I just think those old photos seem so much nicer then the ones we get today.

I used the t-shirt transfer stuff that you iron on a t-shirt?
I know you in the USA have those special cotton transfer thingies too. I bought some last year but can't find it. It is not here, so had to do with the t-shirt material. It works too, but would prefer the 100% cotton transfer, but alas :(
(* note to self: GO LOOK everywhere in the house, lol)
