Cottage & Family [Search results for muslin bags] 

The other day I was in at Lone Star Antique Mall

and found (at Bountiful ) this most precious purse filled with

shredded vintage paper and a sweet vintage photograph ~

I just adore it so it is going in my bedroom that is

going to be transformed after the hub bub of Christmas ~

I am loving transferring images to fabric

so today I washed some muslin bags to

make them look wonderfully crinkly and then

added some crowns ~

Also the other thing that I just love lately

is shredded vintage paper ~

How cute it is in so many things just like the purse ~

I will have some for sale soon .... just because it is fun !

So I just looked at my clock on my

computer and it is only 8:30 and

I am sleepy ~ What is up with that !

When does the time change again ??

Yesterday for some reason it

was all about the bags !

I have burlap bags and muslin bags

that have been in my studio for a few months

and for some reason

all of a sudden they were calling my name ~

These are what I worked on ~

So seriously ............

I am supposed to be organizing this closet

that I have put off for ohhhh about 10 years ~

We are getting new hardwood floors though

so it is a necessity of life unless the workers

want to get killed when they open it ~

Why in the heck do I have this closet and

how in the heck did it get like this !!

Oh my gosh !

Okay off to organize and toss !

WAIT !! I have worked for 10 minutes and I am

at a stand still ~

For all of your organizy type gals out there ~

What if I have something that

I think is cute or pretty and I really like

it but don't have a clue what to do with it ???

Here is an example ... she is darling but I won't

put her out because she doesn't go with

my decor ~

Do I save her for grandkids one day? ~

Do I put her out on Easter? ~

This is just one example of ..... ohhhh quite

a few things ~

(Oh my gosh, is this what hoarders think ??)

What do I do ?

AHHHHH !!!

I have been ruffling the world lately with

my awesome ruffler for my Bernina (which I love too ! )

There have been some wonderful tutorials

and ideas for drop cloths because

it is the coolest fabric with such a vintage look

and a great price !

Who would have known that drop cloths were good

for bags too !

Although I love it, I am not thinking I will do

more of these in drop cloth fabric just because

I kind of felt sorry for my little ruffler trying to ruffle it ~

But.... I know I want to make more

of these in muslin soon ~
