Happy birthday! I was wondering where you get your miniature print fabrics from. I would like to do some projects for my daughter’s dollhouse, but I haven’t found any cute mini print fabric that I like. Thanks!

Happy Birthday Brae! (You get the whole month? I never knew! LOL!) I do hope you show that “vintage” pattern…. I was a young woman back then and might recognize the style! 
I sewed many of my clothes back then too…. until knits became so popular and my antique sewing machine couldn’t do the stitches! And the paws pillows are so cute!

Beautiful, everything coordinates together! Very comforting colours too.

Hi Brae! You were absolutely right about the clash of colors with the first combination! These look so much more a match for the settee and the carpet and will no doubt provide a calm and unifying effect to the whole room in spite of the busy patterns! It is interesting to see how much more like a “lattice” this color combo turns out! Now I really want to see them together with the circle library!

Thanks, Liz! It is not an easy thing to deal with, because I honestly enjoying sharing my work and inspiring creativity. Social media can be a nightmare, though.

Very well done with your circular structure. It’s so original and I love the painstaking care you take to get it just right. It’s going to look fab filled with books.
Jasper looks right at home in his new bed.

You certainly have your work cut out - best of luck with that little task but it’ll look great when done.

The muted colors of your new bargello, perfectly unites the masculine pattern the rug with the feminine curves of your Victorian settee; A match made in heaven.

As a freelance writer, I understand your situation. A lot of folks do not get that sharing without accreditation and permission is intellectual property theft which is illegal at worst, unethical at best (depending on where you live).
The excuse of “but this is how I discovered your blog!” is, frankly, stupid and sounds vaguely threatening in some of the above responses (I suppose I’ll stumble back here someday, e.g.) How you publicize your blog and work is your concern and responsibility, not random Pinterest users.
Of course, with this age of electronic media and social networking, it’s become that much more difficult to protect such property, as you have made clear from your explanation of how Pinterest shares work.
I’m pleased that most of your commentators here understand your position, and support you.
I really enjoy your work, and appreciate your willingness to share your ideas, tutorials, and images so freely–I have your site bookmarked, so never need to worry about getting lost and not finding my way back.
Thank you!

Wow! That is a lot of work, but it will look great.
