Redo

Hi Everybody,
In the early eighties when my family was young (so was I), we didn't have a lot of money for extras so most of the things I had, I made (perhaps one of the first Do-it-Yourselfers?). I continue to be a DIYer and most of my creations come from rescued materials. Big plans for today! Redo two bird houses from the east side of the store (pictured), drum footstool, zipper planter and stick birdhouse. How busy I am will determine how much I achieve. Check in next week for the results and don't forget to watch and share our latest video. Thanks and happy, happy week!

Prayer Beads

Hi Everybody,
A friend and former colleague asked me to convert her prayer wheel printed on an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper both sides, into a piece of jewelry she could wear. She often uses the wheel while walking so the paper thing did not work out all that well. Being a Catholic, I immediately thought of something similar to a rosary. And there you have it. It can be worn as a necklace or wrap bracelet. They may soon be available in the store so I will be sure to keep you posted as always. Happy, happy week!

Modified Men's Jacket

Hi Everybody,
Today's post features a jacket I girlied up for a customer and friend. I took in and shortened the sleeves, then added the ties and buttons. She was quite pleased as was I. Working on a few more custom projects in the next couple weeks and will post when ready. Happy, Happy Easter!!!
