Camp Girls

This weekend some friends and I are having a girl's campout. I started gathering my stuff and am looking forward to a fun weekend while the guys are out hunting! Hope you have a great weekend too!

New Batch of Aprons!

I sold the last batch of my aprons and thought I would share my new ones. Most of these aprons are made with bits of vintage materials along with recycled fabric.

My Studio

I had a change of heart and moved my Hoosier into my art room at home. I love it here!



I have the room full of supplies and when I walk in I feel so inspired and happy!
Here is another space in the room.



My desl is made from an entertainment center fom the thrift store. I cut wood to make a larger desk space and put glass over the top. I put lots of pictures under the glass.

What's New?

I have been selling some of my creations in an antique store in town. My biggest sellers are my aprons. Here are a few of the new ones I am taking to the store today.



I have also been covering bullitin boards with denim.

Textiles

I am once again drawn to old fabrics, quilts and tattered materials.

Hoosier Cabinet

I went to an estate sale and it was full of wonderful old treasures. I was in a hurry because it was at 7:00 A.M. and I had to be at school by 7:30. I found lots of neat stuff and was on my way out the door when I spotted an old "Hoosier Cabinet".
I have always wanted one, and the closer I got to it the more it whispered, "Buy me, please!" It was filled with all the original old glass jars and I simply couldn't resist. I have not been sorry for one second about spending my paycheck on my Hoosier!

Summer Projects

This summer I found myself planting flowers and creating garden themed projects. Here is a little potting shed I made from a wood box and some mini furniture I use to collect. I actually started this project some years back, but it came together this summer.

This chair is on the balcony now. I got this little gem at the thrift store. There are actually 3 sections to it and this one I dressed in white. The other two pieces I still have to strip and stain or paint.

The next project I undertook was making soldered tags for baskets. My sister Cindy does beautiful stained glass and she taught me how to solder. Her stuff is much prettier, but I'm trying!



That's enough for today. Stay happy and healthy!
