I I have always wanted a tree skirt but never found one I loved until today. I found this hand sitched on at the thrift store next to mine. I will post a photo once it is on the tree.
Found him in a box full of Christmas stuff at To Every Nation Thrift store was not going home without him.
This was a fun piece to make. I used a vintage table cloth and linens. I had to make my own bias tape and I am pretty happy with the results.
who loves stuffed animals. Never sewed no problem they will give you hundreds of easy fun ideas. I am addicted.
I haven't sewed anything with a pattern in a long time and now I remember why. They are a pain in the ass at times. But I survived and I think I made the necessary changes to it I will use it in the future again. The pockets are my favorite part. I used recycled fabric from my daughters old shirt.
My sister encouraged me to go to the dark side, this was a close as dark I could get for now but I love it. It kind of reminds me of my daughters when they were little and they had a cat. That poor cat never had a chance. The piece is full of vintage finds, and I waxed over the top of it. 
i LOVE PUTTING ALL THE FUN STUFF IN A BOX FOR MY SISTER. tHE BEST PART IS ADDING RIBBONS AND EMBELLISHMENTS. i FOUND A GREAT aRT nOUVEAU DESIGN AND aRTHUR rACKHAM BOOK. i HAVE ALSO PACKED UP A FEW VINTAGE vERA DESIGN LINENS, AND VINTAGE vOGUE PATTERNS. a FEW OTHER FUN ITEMS. 
I used an old gold belt and added junk jewelry using jump rings. I need to purchase gold clasps. I find it unbelieve in all that junk I did not find one. I have not decide if I will keep it or take to the thrift store. I suppose I could wear it and see if it is me. 
My friend saves all the broken jewelry for me at the thrift store. Check back to see what becomes of it..... 
I found this great vintage wedding cake topper at To Every Nation Thrift store and I had to take it home. What I will do with it I am unsure all I know is I could not leave without it. I also found the great crown pin. It is a great place to volunteer at it is like treasure hunting.
I came accross a bag of Kinderegg toys at the thriftstore boy was I excited. I lived in Germany and they were so fun to collect. I am going to try and drill throught them and make some jewelry with them, we will see how that goes.
