2 more Farmer's Wife blocks! The friendship star in gingham and polka dots. And the calico puzzle in Lizzy House fabrics. If I were to go any slower, I would be sewing in reverse!
Playing with bobs and bits is happening more frequently around here. I can super glue at lightening speed. I adhered French General accents to bobby pins for some fun hair accessories. I feel a tad dizzy whether from my fierce movement or the glue fumes... Taking a break to bee social! Jessica Pearl
It's my favorite game, take $10 or whatever change left me by the laundry fairies and see what I can find in my favorite local thrift. Hospice Attic in Lake City is my closest go to thrift. Saturday, I had a 10 and a yen for thrift! Here's what I found-
A silk + linen blouse $1
A vintage beetle scarf 50 cents
Walking shorts $1.49 ( for walking Houston, this girl is going to Tx! Are you ready, Shannon B?!)
Linen pants + patchwork vest $2.50 ( I may repurpose this fabric, it looks very French General to me!)
Crewel pillow $1.49 (repurpose project)
Man's shirt soon to be an apron $1
Handmade bag $1
And change for next time! Shopping, it maybe my only true talent. Thanks, Mom! Jessica Pearl
Yesterday, I stumbled on a clearance at Michael's. I found a basket full of jewelry bits from Industrial Chic! My first creation is this charm bracelet. I attached the keyboard keys with safety pins. Hey, I have already clearly stated in the title that I am not a jewelry maker! However, I do play with bits and bobs! This old sewing basket turned jewelry craft basket is my newest toy chest! Playing! Jessica Pearl
I started this quilt at our guild retreat last March. I found it as I was hunting wip's to pack for this year's retreat! A giant star quilt of 2 different vintage sheets. I could say this quilt is soft but nothing I could say to describe it would do it justice! So soft in its cheery floral prints. I had to finish it quick so that I could enjoy a cuddle on the porch swing. Thus it was birthed and tied in quick order. Trust me, it's a snuggle fest! Cuddling! Jessica Pearl
