White Wooden Cubicles

To jazz up my dull white cubicles, I used 12" x 12" scrap book paper. Each of the cubicles has its own unique print.

No Sew Canopy

To create my no sew canopy, my father used a dowel and hooks. Next, I used my extra seafoam blue fabric and draped it over the dowel.

Big Lounge Pillow

Two sided lounge pillow

Homemade Curtains

My pink curtains had become faded out by the sun. So I decided to sew a new set of curtains to match my dressing room curtains and bed canopy. Seafoam blue with two different rose prints at the bottom of the curtains.

Dressing Room

My Dressing Room

Recently, I was watching a Barbie movie and became inspired by a lovely dressing room. So I used some $1.00 a yd seafoam blue fabric to create curtains for my dressing room. My father used a curtain rod, and hooks to put my curtains up. Rick-rack ties, Barbie kids chandelier, homemade rug and a pouffes.

Plastic Bag Holder

I found the pattern for the plastic bag holder at www.modabakeshop.com. I used a "fresh cotton" Moda charm pack, elastic and white cotton fabric to complete this project. My mom placed it in our pantry, to organize our huge plastic bag collection.

Last Thursday, we went to ladies bible study at Lydia Sherman's house. While we were there she showed us how to make tissue paper flowers using assorted colors of tissue paper, a hole punch, water cup, pencil, scissors, and chenille pipe cleaners.

After class was over, we went to the Dollar Store and bought pipe cleaners, and tissue paper. Then it was off to the house to make flowers and more flowers. Fun, fun, fun!

Fancy Pillow

Buttons

Rick rack

Decorative Pillow

I found a pillow pattern at www.modabakeshop.com. I altered her aster pillow pattern by taking off the white fabric piece and I didn't add the bows onto the back of the pillow. I placed heart buttons on my pillow, instead of flower shaped buttons.

Two Friends Doll

Two Friends Doll

by Tilda

This doll has wings that you can attach to her back. I decided to make this doll without wings. She is wearing a rose print top with a pink scarf. The skirt and bloomers are made out of white cotton fabric. I fancied up her skirt with pink rick rack. I have a doll pattern for a Jane Austen

dress. I will take a picture of my doll when I have finished the dress.

I found the patterns for this doll in the Sew Sunny Homestyle book by Tilda.

Valentine's Day Placemats

Pink Woolen Felt Place mats

These place mats are made out of pink woolen felt. I used cotton candy pink fabric paint to outline the edges of each place mat. My sewing instructor made a heart pattern using a piece of paper. If you would like to make these place mats, go to www.homeliving.blogspot.com.

Fabric Roses

Fabric roses by Tilda. I made one a little larger than the other and placed them on my sewing room cork board.

A lovely angel created to hold my necklaces, bracelets and other jewelry. For the stand, I used my grandma Sharon's old canning jar and some polyester fiberfill.

Fall Table Runner

While at the Dollar Tree, I purchased wire-edged ribbon in different fall patterns. I found the table runner craft at there website on-line. The basket weave design is easy, and I used an old table runner as my width and height.

Table Decoration

I went shopping the other day for fabric and came across the pumpkin teapot in a little shop. I decided to change our dining table setting. Now I am looking for a fall colored table cloth and runner.

Supplies

Recently, I purchased wreath making supplies at our local Dollar Store. This is a very inexpensive way to make different styles of wreath for the seasons. There are a lot of beautiful faux flowers to choose from and different sizes of wreaths. You will need a good pair of wire cutters to cut the flowers down to the right length, faux flowers, and a wreath. Here are some pictures showing you how to create a wreath. The wreath can be given away as a gift to the host/hostess who is having Easter dinner at their home, with a lovely thank you card.
