Prayer Flags!!!

 I decided to give something new a try last week!! LOL  I always want to try something new! I think this one is a success. I have seen these many different places on the internet and liked the idea so I checked some out and found out the size is about 5 X 7. This one is exactly that size, I used muslin layered over a cotton batting, just turning the top over to give me somewhere to put it on the flag holder out front. The fabric in the middle is some that I sun dyed last summer, then I added embroidery to it.

My second attempt is on a piece of canvas, another of my sun dyed fabric. On this one I wrote on it using a black Sharpie. I do not think it is done yet. The top of this one will get fabric glued together so it won't spoil the area where it says Blessings! Not sure what else it wants, maybe some buttons.

I am planning on working on another one with this week's TAST.

Blessings~~~

Repainting, Embellishing, Repurposing Day!!!

 Today has been a day to get things done for me, not real exciting you are thinking but for me it was!! I finished off the top made out of doilies, tea dyed it and then hung it to dry, picture at right. No it is not a great picture but you get the idea.

Then I got out the trusty spray paint, remember Krylon, your fingers will thank you, for getting saving $$ on the cheap stuff at Wally!!

First up is a $4 tiered rack I got at the above mentioned store, it was black (UGH!!) Now I love it and can't wait to use it. Then there is the previously dark green plate rack that I got on my trip to Amish in April, I think it is much prettier in white and goes so much nicer in my kitchen!!

Finally is the sweet sewing stand that I got at a sale for $22. It was brown and in good shape but it need some white paint too. It will look so nice with something on top and some sewing goodies inside!! It even has built in spool holders for thread. Sorry didn't think to take a picture of that part!!

The last thing is more sewing I saw this cute top idea twice in the past two days and decided enough I was gonna try it. I have loved this tie since the day I got it and couldn't bear to cut it up and it looks so girly!! LOL Check out Craft Gossip today for the link and better pictures of this idea. Mine still needs a pretty button added to it. I also have another one laid out and ready to sew. Let me know what you think!!
Blessings!!
