Something new to me.

When going to garage sales a couple weeks ago, we found this old chalkboard for free. It is in very good shape, there are no scratches on the writing surface. I thought about taking it to school, but was inspired by Mr. Kunnari. So, it is now hanging in my kitchen. I think it looks quite lovely there.

Here's an idea....

I have been wanting to make a quilt for our bed for a while now, but haven't gotten enough guts to pick out a patter, fabric, or even start for that matter. All I do is look online at all the beautiful pieces other people create and try to get inspired. Well, that isn't how things get done. But I found this great blog called thelongthread.com. She is an amazing quilter, seamstress, and over-all idea collector. And from her, I finally got an idea! She started doing something like this...



Using a bunch of scraps, she sewed a long piece of lines. Now she is making this...





I am now inspired! She said "sew now... figure out if you like it later." I think I will do that. We will see where it leads me.

Yikes!

Using found items.

In a previous post, I told you about how Rob and I found a bunch of things in a crawl space in our basement. Here is how I am using some of them.
