Oh how I love to repurpose

I've been really busy lately! My daughter got married and boy what a task! She was beautiful, the wedding was beautiful...I was a blubbering mess!  We used vintage sheets for her wedding.  I am starting to repurpose some of them.  My mother-in-law's birthday is tomorrow, so I made her some hankies from the sheets.  They are nice and soft. Here is one of them:

My ironing board broke awhile back. I decided to get a small one instead of the large one I used to have.  I found one at the thrift store, but it didn't have a cover.  Between getting it covered and needing to iron again, I decided to go ahead and get a large one and find a way to store it better.  I took the small one, added a padding I found from the thrift store and a burlap sack I had in the shed.  I think it matches perfectly!

Now if I can just get that loveseat covered that my husband picked up for me at ...you guessed it....a thrift store! The chair and tractor tire photo is one that I took and had printed as a poster print. I've had the scale for a while. I finally found one at an antique show here in OKC.  I had been looking for one for quite awhile.  I was wanting it for baby photos.  I haven't done any since I got it, but I did take a adorable photo of my new granddaughter with it.

 Well, off to pintrest to see what I can do next. Hope I don't get addicted to browsing before I get another craft done!

My newest jewelry experience!

I've been in love with cameos for most of my life. I love the vintage feel and there's just something about custom made jewelry that makes my heart swell. I set out to do silhouettes of my daughter and soon to be son-in-law. I bought all the necessary supplies.  After about 10 tries that looked like zombies from The Walking Dead, I caved. I bought some silicone molds from Decorate the Cake website. This is what I came up with! Considering I had never worked with Sculpey clay before, I don't think it turned out half bad.  I'd love to hear what you think!

Photo Frames Redo

Being a photographer, I am drawn to frames of every type and size. The thrift store has no shortage of great finds. Here a some before and after photos of some I have found.

My family for the perfect touch! (After)

Grammy's Girl

I just want to break out in song when I talk about this sweet angel! Her name is Liberty and she is just too precious for words. Although I'm not her "official" grandma, she calls me "Grammy". Her eyes light up when she sees me and she just about knocks me over running into my arms. She's a little spit-fire! I took this photo when I first met her about a year ago. She's 3 now, but still just as adorable as the day I met her. I can't help but smile when I talk about her ... she just kinda does that to ya. I get to see her tonight. I'm beaming already!
