Busy Times!
It is spring time and for Canadians this means a lot of work!
We have to lay vegetables in the garden in time, trim bushes, separate plants, spring cleaning the house, check kids clothes for the ones don’t fit them anymore, open the cottage, clean the mice mess left from the winter time, cut the grass, plant more grass, and get rid of spider webs! Gosh, they are everywhere!
On top of that, I always want to find time to put some art in our lives.
A few friends have been dropping unwanted scrap fabrics at my house and this is what I’ve been working on.
I started using some of the bigger pieces of fabric to build a photo scrap book, this one Julia actually put together all by herself!
Aprons are also coming out of my machine. You can add ribbons, buttons, any little piece of material and the results are quite charming.
This one was made with an old curtain valance and a vintage linen.
For this apron, I scanned an old picture from 1920’s and added it to the front pocket, the laces and fabric are all from scrap material and curtain valances.
So, in between cutting your grass, doing your garden and playing with the kids, you can also try to use some of the stuff you are ready to throw away in the garbage and transform it!
Have fun!
