Vintage Train Cases...

Well, I may still not be able to go Glamping... but I can certainly dream,,, and putter through my sweet Vtg. train cases that I use when I go glamping...

I have 4 more out in the storage closet in the garage,,, un-decorated... and one is sort of a lime/chartruse green... which I am rather smitten with and will keep it just as it is...
One of these days I will do a 'western' themed on,,, or maybe a Roy & Dale themed one...
I would love to do one with fun MCM (mid-century-modern) deco... ahhh,,, what shall I do???

 

More Fun Day Projects...

I took the time to make a re-purposed Jeans purse...

I spotted one (blue & pink) at the Thrift down in Palm Springs,, $1.99,,, can't beat the price... but,,, I have 2 grand~girlies so I needed a 2nd one,,, what to do? but a pair of girlie jeans and make one...

 I had some cute kitty themed fabric that I used for the lining and tie/sash...

 as for the handles,, scheeezh,,, they have been in my sewing~stash for ever...

and since we call our one grand~girlie, Ladybug,,, this button is perfect!

 

I also have been busy in some 'mini apron swaps,,, so I have several fun ideas for future swaps,,, but in the mean time I made these for kicks-n-giggles!

 the colors are more brite,,, but either my camera,,, or I,, are not good! lol!

Now to get back to working on some lap quilts for the VA Hospital... see ya later...

What it's Like to live in the Mountains...

I have lived in the City,,, Suburbs, farm country and mountains (where I currently live)...

I luv the view,,,

 Today's view.... neighbors letting their horses graze out front of their property...

Gotta love not living in the city...

Mini Apron swap....

I recently participated in a Mini Apron Swap,,, 1 of 4...

Here are the  ones that we swapped today...

For swap #2 we are swapping Spring minis,,, while #3 will be a western theme and #4 will be a Patriotic theme....

I plan to make a banner with these to hang across my trailer....

 

Pillowcase Apron

I spotted a cute re-purposed pillowcase into an apron on 'pintrest'... so easy peasy... so I decided to make one just for fun...

 I decided to use a contrasting fabric for the waist...

 and as always,,, a lil yoyo for embellishment...

I found this lil hankie which I folded and used as the pocket...

What a cute and quick project.....
