Beautfuil Apron, Easy Crafts, and a Thrifty Find






Does not get any easier than this:
Found an old jar.
Perfect for old clothespins.
Wrapped some jute around the top.
Added a bow. Done!
(Love these easy projects!)

This is my first wired ribbon bow.
I know there are great instructions out there,
but this one I just sort of twisted, and turned,
and glued as I went.
Easy and fun!!





The mini boxes I made last week.


Our sweet little Ava and her finished sewing cupboard.


The miniatures are mostly things i made years ago.
Calendar. Bolts of fabric. Wood books.
A little embroidery hoop, and embroidery thread.
Tiny eye glasses.
When she wanted to put a miniature milk jug in
I asked her if that went in a sewing cupboard?
" Well. They might get thirsty!"
Thus the bread in the basket of yarn balls
and old clothespins.
They might get hungry. =)



This is be beautiful apron I one at Funky Junk Interiors
Celebration Party a few weeks ago.
It is from Make Mine Beautiful.
(click on her name to see her Etsy shop).
This apron is incredible! Pockets Everywhere!
Just the thing a do it yourself person needs.
Beautifully lined, and sweet details at every part.
And look at that sweet little jewel on the front pocket.
Sweet!!

Here is my thrifty find.
I want to put baby shoes, old pics, and nest and
whatever else I can find in it.
Do I need to paint it?

I kind of think the old brown satin would lend
itself to the old vintage items going in it.

Top edge is kind of interesting.
Not sure i like it, but think it may not bee
too noticeable when i get all the treasures in it.
OK. Give me some feedback here on what you think.
Thanks.


OK, that's all. Hope you all have a great Monday.

Please go visit all the wonderful gals who host the Monday parties.

So I did one out of a heart doily.

Add some trinkets and spray with glitter mist.

Look at these great papers.
Our garbage bill came in a different envelope this month.
Love that brown!
And since we pay by phone, we can keep both envelopes they sent.

And the other paper?
It is the wrapper off a loaf of deli bread.
It has a wheat print on one side,
and plain brown on the other.
Great isn't it?
And all free!!!
