Oh wow, here we are almost at another weekend and I am just now getting to last weekend...where does the time go. Last weekend I got to spend it with this crafty little girl, Reagen. She came to spend the night on Friday and stayed until Sunday evening. We had a great time together...watched a few movies, went to her cousins t-ball games, did a little grocery shopping and alot of crafting.
Reagen pulled out her sewing machine and worked for a bit on a quilt that she has been working on for some time. She pulled out a box of her scrapbooking stuff...didn't really make anything with it but reorganized it all. She also wanted to go to the fabric store. I wasn't sure just what for but you know I am always game for any store that carries fabric so off to Hobby Lobby we went.
She picked out this fleece and came home and tied this little blanket for herself. She did it all on her own...measured, cut and tied. While Reagen worked on her projects I worked on a few of my own.
I had seen one of these banners on Pinerest made with old book pages. I picked me up an old book at Goodwill's half price sale the week before so I decided to give it a try. The one I had seen had buttons on it so I decided to go through a jar of old antique buttons that I had and found some real interesting things in there besides buttons. I know its hard to see but there is an old zipper pull (it's the aqua color on the middle one), an old snap, some sort of hook thing, an old safety pin with thread wrapped around it and several other things that looked neat but I don't really know what they are. Anyway I really liked how the old buttons and things made it turn out. I gave this one as a gift but must make another one for myself.
Another idea that I found on Pinterest were these hangers. I have been into crocheting lately so I decided to give them a try. I thought they turned out nice and gave them along with the banner to my Sister in Law, Kristy for her birthday.
OK, maybe I am hooked on Pinterest because that is where I found the idea for these cards. Had to make some of them to go along with the above gift and of course had to make some extras too for later. It's always a good feeling to go back to work on Monday's when you feel like you have really accomplished a few thing during the weekend. Humm...tomorrow starts another weekend, will I get anything accomplished? I'll have to let you know because I never know myself until the end of the weekend. I always start the weekend with alot of plans and alot of times things just happen and nothing gets done. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another productive weekend. Might even start painting my bedroom.
