Grandma's talent

The other night I was sorting through some old pictures and I found this one (my profile pic)of a dress my Grandmother made. She could measure us and draw out a pattern on newspaper and in a short period of time she'd have us all dressed for easter.

Links to share

I don't have a lot of time to post today so I will share some of my favorite links.

Belle Armoire is Art to wear.

Hands down the BEST bead shop ever. Also beading tips.

Heart in Hand is where I found the info for making ceramic type purses....actually polymer clay purses...The effect is like ceramic but much more workable.

Finding new things to craft keep even the smallest hands busy!

Happy Day to All!

Crafting....

This is my first post. I really love making over stuff. Clothes, furniture, ceramics, even candles, etc. I then re-use it for something other than the originally intended purpose. So that means I visit lots of yard sales and thrift shops often. I have found it a way to make gifts for friends and 'new' restyled clothing for myself and my family. I will be posting pictures soon
