A couple months ago my Mom gave me some old "junk" so to speak from my Grandfather. She gave me a a metal box with a ring of old keys from when he was a police officer in Detroit. I was immediately drawn to this key and I decided to make a long necklace out of it.
This one is a work in progress and I am not done yet, but I love how it says his name. I wonder what he is thinking in heaven that I am wearing his keys and old name tag around my neck?
I know two post back to back on table runners....not sure why I into making them lately. I guess it is just a quick and easy way to change things up. This one took loner than ten minutes but I have to say it only took about a 1/2 hour to create and I was done. I just used inexpensive muslin and just sewed on the ruffles on each end with my sewing machine. I think it turned out great and it looks great with the roses my husband just bought me.
I found these old seed sacks at a new antique shop and I just feel in love with the color combinations. Originally I bought them to make aprons out of them and I laid them on the dining room table and I liked the way they looked. So, ten minutes later after running them though the sewing machine....Viola, a new table runner. I really do enjoy quick and easy projects that work out the way you have imagined them in your mind. Don't you?
I was making jewelry yesterday and my eye kept glancing towards these sweet little chairs that I have sitting on top of my desk. So I thought I would share with all of you. Happy Monday to all of you.
I set aside some time on Sunday to dedicate to some creativity....it sure felt good!
