Next up is just a picture of sewing "stuff" I threw in a cute wooden bowl my mother gave me years ago as a Valentine gift. The spools of thread are from her stash of old thread. The huge safety pin was something we found in a junk drawer at my parents' house and I remember it as a child so I snatched it up. The scissors are something I just bought off of eBay. Fun things sitting on my "pin cushion table."
I've been at it again, covering more boxes with fabric. Needed a couple for my sisters for our "sister vacation" next month. Not to worry...they've already seen the pictures because I wanted them to pick theirs out.
Well, I should be working but stopped by to follow some blogs and ended up posting...have a great weekend!

Love the boxes, can I be your sister ;-)?
Congrats on the finish, cute, cute, cute.
Yeah, do you need another sister?! ;) LOL, they are great!! Your sisters will love them.
I just love how you finished off your BBD! What a neat treasure to have, too--your mom's sewing notions. It must warm your heart whenever you see them.
Your BBD box turned out great and I love it nestled in with all the goodies from your mom. Also, love the heart shaped wood bowl - how pretty!
Your boxes are wonderful - I just love 'em!
Oh wow! Great finish on the BBD box! And I love all the goodies in that bowl! Never seen such a huge safety pin! Your covered boxes are just so beautiful. Katrina and Siobhan are right -- I want to be your sister too! lol!
What a great idea for 'Pin and Needles'. Good job sister!! You are so talented!! Can't wait till you get here! We'll have so much fun don't you know??!! HUGS HUGS HUGS
How fun are you!!!!!
Okay, two questions...how do you do the box top (just wrap it around a padded cardboard and glue it with a fun trim?
and two, I would love a quick explanation on how you did those darling fabric boxes!!! ModgePodge? Hot Glue? SEWN in? They're simply adorable!!!
In case we're getting a girl (we find out next week) I need to spruce up a little boys room. :)
I think your BBD box is fantastic! And I love your goodies from your mom. I just came across a little box full of spools of thread that were my grandmothers - they have the coolest labels at the end, so I may have to borrow your idea and put them out on display. You've really sparked my interest with your covering of all those boxes - they're just so pretty!
I don't have a sister....can you be mine?????? :)
Beautiful finish on the BBD!! And I love your sewing "things"!!
Take care
