Some crafts keeping me busy







I try to keep myself busy. I always feel like I need to be doing something creative. I wanted to share with you a few of the crafty things I have been doing lately. I love to make jewelry from junk and other pieces of vintage jewelry. It is a fun hobby that I started this past summer. Another thing I accomplished lately is making a apron that I sewed by hand. I don't have a sewing machine, so anything I make I sew by hand. This one took awhile as I didn't even measure...just went to work. I ended up making it way to big...had to cut it in half and find a way to sew it back together. Thank goodness for vintage laces. I think it turned out great. I used napkins folded in half for pockets. Now I can use this apron when I do the flea markets. I have a place to put my money and not lose track of it. The last item is a sweet dolly I made for my friend that had a premature baby and just brought her home. I hope you enjoy my fun little projects. I love making things!
