Artist Trading Card Notes

  Had a bunch of ATC's left from series' of trades I did, so decided to mount them on cardstock to use as notecards/greeting cards.. like mini pieces of  art. They're removable so can be matted and framed. Here are a few:                                     


"Guardian of the Tea Tree"



"It's What You See..."





"Egyptian Dreams"



"Heart, Soul, Spirit..."

Tea Wallets

Love making the tea wallets. They take hardly any time and are so cute!

Have been trying to use up fabric scraps recently in a few projects i.e. mattress caddies,
tea wallets, purses.
Last week found a source of FREE scraps...(so much for using up!)...
so have been making a list of projects I could use them for.

eyeglass cases
clothespin bags/ clothespin aprons
remote caddies
wine bags and water bottle totes
aprons
place mats
sewing kits/scissors pouch
credit card wallets
hot pads
hot mats
pincushions
sachets
Reusable lunch/snack bags
make up bags
mug rugs
coasters
needle cases
knitting needle cases
checkbook covers

not a bad list to start!

Birdbath a la CHEEP...(cheap!)

From a glass ceiling fixture and a pot stand.

                                    Cost all of a dollar...add a rock, some pennies and water.

Bottle Sculpture

Yet more bottles... ;-)                 
The lakeside landscaping is finally done after installation of the septic system.
The bottle sculpture was my idea. The blue bottles represent the lake, the 12
stems represent the 12 months of the year and the leaf shaped layout represents nature.

Think it turned out pretty nice.
