The Decorations They Won't Fight Over

-

There are decorations in my house
at
Christmas
(and year round)
that the decorator police
(otherwise known as my children)
will never fight over when I am gone!
 
Here are just a few.
The Angel Tree,
finally finished after 15 or so years.
JWS mounted it on a base
and
I glued the candle cups on it this morning.
What is left?
Finding candles to fit those cups!



The Fiber Optic Village
I was over it a year or so after I bought it.
JWS found it in the attic and wanted it out "for the kids"
I think he might be included in those "kids".

The Carnival Set.
This was found abandoned.
We have it on loan this year. 

The Village
Well, truthfully someone might want it...

This Santa
I am pretty sure no one wants him.

Or this scary one either.

And of course, last but certainly not least...
The Annual Complaints About The Nativity Wreath
are about to begin.
 
Just remember folks,
if anyone of these decorations interest you.

Upon my passing,
they will be cheap at a yard sale!

LOL I think we all have decorations that some day no one will want. A few years back I went through all mine and gave my kids the option of saving some of the stuff before it went to the trash. Guess what? No takers.
Your stuff is way better than mine though, mine wasn't even worthy of a yard sale

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
