Crafting Cogs Engaged

Although it's long over due, my crafting cogs are engaging.  With the wonders of blog world and internet surfing as inspiration; the wheels are slowly slipping back into gear.  And just in time for the holidays too!


To ease them back into movement I started with an couple of old baby blankets that are no longer of use ~ I say this with sad heart as my Grand loves have outgrown them.  So Grandma decided to put them to use for herself.  I picked up some material at the Good Will store to use for covering them.  So for the total price of a buck a piece I have two little lap robes to take the chill off our upcoming winter nights.  They will be just big enough to lay across the lap for that tiny bit of extra warmth.

Budget Decorating


I'm a budget decorator
~ by choice ~
 an eclectic mix
of tapestry
glass
stoneware
a mix of natural
with faux 
an honest expression
of me!

I found these little pillows at the Good Will store
knowing I could recover them
and then like magic I found three empty pillow cases
like it was meant to be
and new pillows are created
with a bit of hand stitching
and WOW they're beautiful
and they're reversible!!!
along with past pillow purchases at the same store
I've spent a total of $8.00 on eight pillows! 
Gotta love a deal like that!

Wine ~ we like wine!
But what to do
with all those empty bottles ...

Suggestions welcome!
