Just for Fun

Some days are meant for playing and creating. A little of this, a little of that. See what happens. Much like building a nest, putting bits and scraps together to create something.

Dragonflys...

Fabric scraps and old buttons...



Paper bits and game pices...



Nesting





I am linking to Between Naps on the Porch. Don't miss the great ideas you'll find there.




Also linking up to A Soft Place to Land.

And it begins...

Whew! Finally have some boxes unpacked and enough stuff done to start having some fun!! So this is step one in transforming my new house into my home. I am jumping in and joining Metamorphisis Monday, sponsored by Between Naps on the Porch.



Here is a picture of the guest room in our new home with the previous owner's belongings still in place.



Here is the wall where the head of the bed used to be. I will be tweaking and changing things to get just the right displays/vignettes but had to get some of my favorite things put up.





Here is the head of the guest bed. Lots of changes to come yet... new bedding, adding stuff to the screen hung over the bed, etc. But again, it is a start and I am luving it. And the black spot is one of the elusive cats from my previous post--meet Loki.




And last, my vintage dresser under the window. Lots of tweeking to do here. But it looks like a room. And it looks like a room full of some of my favorite things. My husband calls it the 'girly room' and that is fine with me! :)




Thanks for checking out my blog. Hopefully there will be lots more to come! Especially once I get my crafting tools and supplies unpacked, organized, and accessible to I can start creating!

Creative Moment

I have been having so much fun making fabric flowers and trying to think of what I could do with them. I think they look really good made of unbleached and soft colored cotton prints. And it lets me use some of my bottons.

I decided that I wanted a simple handbag decorated with one of my fabric flowers. I added a little burlap and several kinds of ribbon to make it a bit more fun. I can't wait to use it now!!
