Snippet Belt

I started to make a snippet roll and then saw a belt using the same technique, and ta-da, a belt it is! I am going to use the same technique to embellish a page on a fabric journal. This would also make cute bracelets. Hmmm..or embellishment on flip flops. Oh, how about the trim for a dish towel?

What's For Dinner?

I bought these cow towels for my kitchen. I added the ruffle on the top one to dress it up a little bit. Then I found the wood cow. It had a goofy saying on it, so I sanded it off, and sprayed it with chalk paint. I can write a menu or saying on it.

Bulletin Board

I started to make a pillowcase today, and midway through it I decided it would be much more useful if I used the materials on a bulletin board for my classroom. I can hang it by my door and it will be useful and pretty!

New Treasures!

Stamp Collection Box

Today I worked on a box to store my stamp collection in.

Home

Sometimes I dream about having a cabin in the woods. A simple place filled with the quilts I have made, the cherished possessions we have collected. A little place for a garden and long walks in the woods. If that never happens, I wouldn't really care, because I have a home that is filled with love, memories and happiness. A place where I feel safe and secure. Our home took hard work to build, most of our income for many years and a lot of faith. It is quiet, peaceful and beautiful. We sit outside and share our dreams. Our family ties are here. How lucky am I?! I have everything I need in my life and I am so grateful.

Metal Mop Bucket

I saw a metal mop bucket with flowers in it in a magazine called Recycled Style by Matthew Mead. I just loved it! Long story short, my husband and I went out to lunch and then to a new antique store in town, and guess what was there? You are so smart! Yes, a little antique metal mop bucket. It didn't have rollers, and my husband told me he could put some on the bucket for me, and he did. What a guy!! How cute is this?! The magazine article also suggested using the bucket to hold cold drinks. Doesn't that sound so much more fun than using it to mop the floor?
