Things my daughter makes

-
We are planning to have an open house at my home in November. My daughter and I are making things and stashing them in my attic for the event. I thought that I would show these before I made the trek to the attic with them. I think that she does a great job on them! Thought that I would show off her talent!

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4...

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake

Primitive Carrots Tutorial

A couple of years ago, I made the girls Easter décor for Christmas.   We laughingly called these the $200 carrots because of all the time invested in them.   Since then I have simplified the process a little and now actually enjoy making them.   You will need: Aluminum Foil Twine Scraps of fabric Some type of tags (I used paper office supply ones) Bits of greenery Hot glue gun Dark and light orange paint For one carrot, I use about 12 inches of aluminum foil. Fold it once to about an 1 1/2" from the side and then again about 2" down.   This helps make the shape of the carrot. Roll it up and scrunce it in on the bottom. Glue the twine to the bottom. Then glue the greenery in the top.   This allows the glue to set up on the bottom before you start wrapping and honestly saves some finger burns.   Then simply start wrapping. Until they are covered. I painted mine firs...
