" Vintage" Baby Shoe Tutorial

I have several free tutorials on my side bar.

One of them is how to take new baby shoes

and make them look aged.

Above is one I aged, then put my Tea Bag Roses in.

(Also a free tutorial on my side bar.) =)

The two below are pin cushions I made with just slightly aged shoes.

  They are just slightly scruffed up as I wanted them to be 'sweet' more than old.

 I have also put my little bird nests in them as seen at beginning of post.

(tutorial for nests on side bar, too) =)

Go HERE for a tutorial on making new baby shoes look old.

See my side bar for other free tutorials, and enjoy.

Please be sure if you do any up to let me know. 

I would love to see them and show my friends too.

(the first baby shoe pin cushion I did was an idea from Dawn, at 

The Feathered Nest. She has great tutorials,too.)

I'm joing White Wedneday, 

 

and

 Knick of Time Tuesday.

(and did you see she featured my link up from last week??)

Thanks Angie & Kathleen for hosting each week!

Blessings all!!

Celebrating my Reader List

YAY!!! My reader/follow list is back!!
After 3 months of being gone and numerous notes to blogger!!

I do hope we are not celebrating too soon. Almost afraid to turn off my blog and computer off now.

I have been deleting some blogs from my list as they said I was waaaaay over the number I could follow.
What made it difficult was not being able to get to my reader list to do anything about it all this time.

OK, a couple of things about following::
Would be nice if bloggers would put their 'follow' somewhere easy to find.  
Like at the beginning or middle of blog, instead of waaaay at the end. 

and, I have asked before: How does my name get on blogs to follow, when I did not do it?
I mean there are some blogs on my follow list, I just would not follow, even if they paid me,
and others that are just simply of no interest to me, yet they are on my list.

That's all. Just a bit of nothing. =)
