Do you ever get a hankering for an item of clothing that you can't quite visualize ? This happened to me when I bought this piece of denim at Savers and used it as the backdrop for my last photo shoot. I needed it to be a skirt. I wanted one I could bike in, that had some pleats, but not vertical ones, and a string of buttons, and a sort of deconstructed feeling. Full, but not circular. It was all so amorphous that I couldn't decide on a pattern or even make a sketch. So late one night, waiting...

Hello everyone, I am a little late posting, but I have been enjoying some bright sunny days, the outdoors has been calling me.Also, a friend and I went out for lunch and did a little thrift shopping. I got a few treasures that I will share with you later. Now on with my post! I bought this wicker breakfast tray at a thrift shop recently, just in case some lazy Sunday morning my husband wants to serve me breakfast in bed! I hope he reads this post so he will get the hint. But for you, I have served a light breakfast in our little guest room. This green and white toile wallpaper has been on for several years and I still love it. Do you see the hand crochet bedspread on the end of the bed, that is one of my treasures from yesterday. I should have shown a closeup but don't worry you will see it again as it gets moved around the house. Don't you love this sweet little spoon with the matching teacup? when you are done of your breakfast you can enjoy looking through some of my magazines. I found this cute little egg cup at the thrift store as well. these two shots of the room were taken last year. Well, even through your breakfast was pretty skimpy, I hope you enjoyed breakfast in bed,- I know I would!!! Today I am joining Between Naps on the Porch for Tablescape Thursday and My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday. Thank you for visiting, Carolyn

Наконец доделала "Февраль". Напоминаю, что участвую в совместном отшиве текстильного календаря в стиле "крейзи квилт" у Златы. Я конечно же плетусь в конце, но не теряю надежду догнать :)). Февраль. Цвета месяца - оттенки белого, кроме белоснежного, темно-серый, серо-зеленый. В определенный момент нужно сказать себе "стоп" иначе расшивать этот блок можно до бесконечности ... :)). Все фрагменты поближе: Снега в феврале было очень много, поэтому белый цвет у меня царствует, но согласно условиям задания, он не белоснежный - есть сероватый, зеленоватый и бежевый. В этом фрагменте я пыталась вспомнить про 23 февраля, изобразила что-то вроде защитной камуфляжной военной сетки и конечно сундук подарков нашим любимым мужчинам. Обещанное дерево, снега на нем совсем немного, да и под ним он осел как-то, прибился к земле. Сугробы... Дальше все понятно без объяснений...:)) Работать в этой технике очень увлекательно. Здесь можно посмотреть работы всех участниц. Пока у меня только два месяца: Продолжение следует....

These coffee filter dancers are SO PRETTY! I really love how bright and colourful they are. And the best part is that you only need a few simple dollar store craft supplies - They're actually really simple to make! We used Crayola washable markers for this craft, but you can also use Mr. Sketch markers. (Do you remember those smelly markers?? I was so excited to see that they still sell them!!) Just make sure the markers are washable, otherwise the colours won't bleed. Even my 4 year old little guy wanted to make one (mostly because he reeeeeeally loves
