Director's Chair

I was leaving a tag sale one day and when I turned to leave I spotted a director's chair that had a bunch of stuff piled on it. I had already had a very nice conversation with the owner and so when I asked if the chair was for sale the very sweet man told me I could have it. Oh my! That is all it takes to make me happy!! We took all the stuff off it and loaded it into my car. The canvas seat and back were rotted on the chair and it was a wee bit falling apart, but I knew it had potential.



I scrubbed the chair down and gave it some new canvas. I then fancied it up with some pretty fringe, a little lace,some old quilt pieces and a picture of a gypsy girl on canvas. Isn't she pretty now?!

Sew Unique!

Years ago I sold my art in a store in Glendale. One month the owner of the shop didn't have enough money to pay me, and so we made a trade for this unique stand. I fixed it up and took it apart over the years so I could use it for different things. Then a couple of months ago I saw one in a shop downtown. It was so pretty! I decided to recreate mine and start using it to carry my sewing supplies. My pictures don't do it justice, but I love it!

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.
