winter tree
this is what i did tonight! i saw this online somewhere, geez i cant remember right now, but i will look and see.she gives directions, and they are really easy to follow. i went over to my girleys house with another friend and we played with them. this is how mine turned out. aint it purty???i am thinking of making some of these as gifties for some online friends.....do you think they will likey???
well yesterday was turkey day and i thoroughly enjoyed myself! i didnt leave the house all day except for a tiny excursion to the bp across the street for an iced tea and a cheese danish!! i manage to almost complete a purse during the day. its made out of a skirt again, but this was from the dd not a thrift store. and it came with its own lining!!! it had one of those little pair of shorts on the inside.
so, here it is. the dd says it looks sailorish. i had a bit of problem with the pockets.
i had to take one out and move it up. its still kind of too long. but i am pleased with how it turned out. i made a little pin for it, as it seemed to be lacking something. its just fabric and felt and a vintage button. gotta love vintage buttons!! matter of fact i am going to the local antique mall tomorrow to just sit in a booth on the floor and spend as much time as i want digging thru their bins of old buttons. if i think of you i will try and bring my camera so you can see the binny loveliness!! oh one last thing. i got a brass chandelier off of freecycle and i wanted to show you it before we tarted it up. the hubby is going to paint it antique white for me, then i will be putting some of those adorable little shades on it. i dont know if i will do anything to the shades or if i will put on some little wreathy things or what..i am going to wait until i see it painted and with the shades to figure that out, but i thought i would show you.....
not the prettiest thing...but one day with a little luck it will become a swan!
