Embroidery floss box

So I started organising my craft room and decided to put my stuff in boxes and decorate them so it would be nicer to look at on the shelves. This one is my simplicity rotary cutter box that I turn inside out. I aged the box with Tim Holtz distress ink by Ranger and used some Jillibean soup patterned paper to decorate it. This is my first try at something like this, hope you like it. Till next time...

Front door Prim Doll

I finished my doll this morning, I really like her. Susan Dean from Threadbare Primitives makes beautiful pattern's. I increased the pattern by 50%, so I would have a big doll for the front door. She's almost 18" tall. The fabric was purchase from my favorite fabric web site Jubilee Homespun, Gayla is just super nice. As for my graphic on the apron, well... As always, it was both from Trina Clark at digiscrapkits. Till next time...

Ribbon Card Organizer

I did these a while back and decided to put them up to download, I find them really useful. I use the small one to organizer my floss and the big one for my ribbons. I've included the blank one, just in case you went to put your on graphics on them or if you prefer to leave them blank. I also punch holes on the small one and use it to organize my ribbon scraps.

Floss Organizer freebie

It is now 2:10 AM, got of work a couple hours ago and just couldn't wait to get home to start my prim doll. I cut all the pieces and will be sewing her first thing when I get up. I took a break between cuts and did a little floss organizer, Now, it's off to bed...

My DIY willow tree

Well it wasn't as bad as I expected, the whole thing took about 1 hour to make and cost less then $5.oo, so that's good. The hardest thing was to get my mode podge dyed (for the base) the same color as the pip teardrop (for the branches) that I bought. For the rest a lot of holes and paper mache later, it was done. Very happy with the result. I think for my next project, I'll make a big prim doll for my front door. So that's it for now, have a good Thursday night, till next time...
