Well, I’m all better and as you can see, I’ve been pretty busy! This weekend Earl and I moved some furniture around and now the Crafting Center is all contained in my giant armoire:
I love it! I’ve come to learn that the kids really do appreciate this too- now when they have a school project or a birthday card need, they just help themselves. So, even though the Christmas crafting did not live up to my expectations, this has been a great addition to our home. And it looks so much tidier in this cabinet than on the open shelves.
First, a clock from the thrift store that has been turned into a “seamstress” clock with the addition of some vintage sewing notions.
This is an AOL free CD box that I’ve re-covered. Pretty slick, eh? Carmen and I are working on a birthday gift for my little step granddaughter who just turned 15 and loves everything black and white checkered. Carmen is working on some Kindgom Hearts artwork that we will place in the box, pop up style.
And while in this paper mood, I made this tiny (3″x3″) accordian type book following this great tutorial. I bpught all these cute papers and stickers from the Dollar Tree eons ago and it makes me so happy to see it all put together. I still don’t have a baby, but do you think a nice grandma might buy this as a little brag book if I put it in Etsy?
Lastly, here is a cute nameless girl. She is made for the very young girls and I want to list her for a bargain price at Etsy, but she must have a name! Will you help me name her? She is about 18″ and she is made of knit fabric and is very huggable and nice.
Whew- I love gettin’ busy! Hope you are all enjoying yourselves too!
