I've been busy

I've been so busy... Photographing babies ro making sweer little dresses and boy outfits.

Take time to do what makes your soul Happy..

In celebrating Memorial Day. We had a very sweet service at church.  A small token was presented to all the eons that served in the military of some sort.  It was a rolled up poem with a key attached as a reminder.

The poem reads…

I took the key and added it to my little studio.

As I had the pleasure of spending some LONG OVER DUE TIME creating in my little studio.. Even though my house was in a MESS. I still needed to take a break and relax.. 

My brother is an antique dealer.  He mostly deals with vintage bottles of all sorts.  But sometimes he buys in bulk.  As his stash gets large he will have this AWESOME yard sale.. When I say awesome I mean REALLY cheap deals.  I found this old tin lunch box. 

Before
I started to leave it like it was.. But I have another idea.  

After... Pure Loveliness..

 I painted it and added some stamping and shabby loveliness and then filled it to the brim with vintage lace and notions, the cards that the lace and notions are on are homemade.  Thought I turned out rather Shabby Beautiful… I am so proud of it.

 Then I looked on my list and decided to create a purse from an old pair of jean legs I cut off. And an old shirt from a yard sale that I paid $.10 for .  It had some really pretty lace and delightful loveliness on it.  So I cut the sleeves to make a pocket on the outside and cut the middle part of the shirt for the inside and the lace at the bottom was on the bottom side of the shirt.  

The flower on the other side was  stripes of the shirt.  And the straps were made out of the tie thingy of the shirt.  My granddaughter scooped it up and filled it to the brim with all her girly things.  It minds me of a gypsy style.

  

I’ve been wanting to add some angel wings to my little creative space.  I’ve looked on Pintrest and browsed blogs and finally decided to create my own with some inspiration from other post I saw.  I think it turned out okay.  But the next time I will do some things a little different.  

Angel wings new resting Place

 But all and all I had a very relaxing day.  I really enjoyed myself.  My granddaughter came and I wanted to spend some time with her. I am participating in

Were Bloggers Create 2012

I get so excited waiting on this day to come.. Peeking into other creative people studios..That www.mydesertcottage.com. So here are a few pictures of my studio.  This is were I do most of creations, like paper crafts,etc.

 I love creating on my machines.. I found half of a door and made it my thread holder..

 This shoe bag is filled with all kinds of trim and yummies to add to my creations.

 Some of my lace ...

 This is kind of a view when you walk in this is what you see.

 The vintage armiore that I upcycled and now it holds some of the dresses my adorable granddaughter has outgrown that I can't depart with. I love the vintage slip hanging.

 Some of my fabric.. I need to straighten up and paint the shelf, (maybe by next year). ON top of the shelf is still storage of an old vintage purse it has some of my finished cards and tags.  The vintage jewerly boxes house some of my rhinestones and gems.

 Just some of the thinks I collect and add.

 A few of my stamps I use regularly. I have more stashed in a drawer.

 My apron I made when I'm creating and doing craftshows.

Thanks for visiting my studio. I can't wait to see everyone elses.
Love, Michelle

Fouth of July...

I started the day out making this sweet little dress for Meia.. It turned out so sweet.

 Then after lunch we had some yummy watermelon..

After visiting the campaign 4th of July at the stadium.. It was kicking 105 degrees so we got in the pool to cool off.  She would not let go of her balloon and her sucker she got.

 And a to end the night of let freedom ring.. Fire works in our home town..

Such a restful and well needed break.

Love, Michelle
