    Garage sale season!!

    April 26, 2012 - By 
    It’s that time of year again! 
    The garage sales have begun. I scored big time today. It was a moving sale. They just wanted the stuff GONE! 
    I got ALL of this stuff for $4.00. 
    Oh yeah! 
    Once again this year I’m trying my very hardest not to buy anything new…aside from adhesives…
    But rummage sales, thrift stores, garage sales and free bins are not NEW items.

    Postcard Challenge week 13

    March 30, 2012 - By 
    After having to take a couple weeks off from Darcy’s challenge, I’m back with my…or shall we say…Maggie’s postcard and page.
    Maggie continues to send her drawings or paintings to Thadeus.

    She writes:
    Thadeus-
      Please let me know that you are alright. You haven’t responded to the letter I sent from my Aunt’s home. I had to skip my adventure to The Netherlands to care for the poor dear after her fall.
      I am having a wonderful cup of coffee here in Istanbul. Next I am off to explore the Grand Market. I know it will be a feast for the senses.
      Please write.       Warmly- Maggie

    So that’s why there was no postcard from the Netherlands.
    *wink*

    My page has a small “mug rug” and some stained shipping tags. Maggie must have found some fun things to send home at the Grand Bazaar.
    The pocket is from a chunk of altered fabric given to me by Belinda Spiwak years ago. I think it adds just the right pop of color and texture.

    Sewing like crazy…

    February 20, 2012 - By 
    I’ve been sewing like there is no tomorrow.
    I’ve managed to make a tiny dent in my fabric stash.
    Little J picked out colors for her American Girl doll sleeping bag. Her doll came with a lavender outfit so she has decided that lavender is “Rosie’s” favorite color.
    I have one more ready to go and 2 more that are just in need of finishing.
    I’m partial to this red patchwork one myself.
