Remember these tin signs I mentioned a couple days ago? I bought six of them (on clearance) at Michaels for 59 cents each!! I pulled the canvas letters off and then transformed them!
Four of them were completed Wednesday morning. I'm pretty pleased with them....I might play around with the Robin themed one a bit more. But otherwise they're done!
I finished two more Wednesday evening. Now I want to head back to Michaels to see if they have any of these tins left. I was thinking about doing several with a Christmas theme. These were fun...I enjoyed making them.
A few close-ups.......
I also worked on these little bags. I forgot "before" photos. Just envision them "naked" - without any lace or doo-dads! The little "naked" bags are from Hobby Lobby....they were $1.99 each. When I go to craft shows, flea markets, thrift stores or yard sales I don't like to drag along my big handbag. I just want something that will hold a little bit of cash, my ID, a credit card, and my phone. These are the perfect size. I'm going to make a few more that are a little less lacy...I'm thinking a patchworky, collage kind of look.
Last night I worked on some bird word-houses, some acorns, a clipboard, and a bowl. I'll share photos soon.
I'm on a roll....and it feels good! So glad I had several days off to get that creative spark ignited!
