    Beads and sewing

    January 24, 2009 - By 


    I made some more paper beads this morning. I could make these all day if left to my own devices but that just doesn’t happen around here.

    I also made up another “busy bag“.


    I cut a denim slipcover from an old chair for the back and handles. The lining is cut from an old tablecloth that had a couple stains in all the wrong places.
    I love recycling!!!!

    Recycled paper envelopes

    January 13, 2009 - By 


    While sorting through some stuff I came across an envelope template that I got at a garage sale this summer.

    I remembered I had an awesome coffee table book about the Cayman Islands from the free shelf at our local library. Since a multitude of the photos are full page they seemed perfect to try the envelope template out on.

    I’m getting the hang of the shape cutter tool(also a garage sale find).
