While editing a recent post, I noticed the thumbnail of a much older post that really caught my eye.
This photo says so much.
Looking through it all, I can remember so much. For almost every item in this picture, I can remember exactly why it is there and what project it was for if any.
Examples:
The scraps of black and white striped knit fabric were leftover from the t-shirt to dress I made for my nephew's Cabbage Patch Kid doll when he was little (see T-Shirt Redo for a Doll, a Tutorial).
The porcelain doll in the up right corner wearing a blue dress was a doll I found at a thrift store. I gave it a makeover before this (see Prettied Up).
Next to the doll is a Bratz doll that also received a makeover (see Pretty in Pink).
On the desk is a purple pencil box I bought at a back to school sale from Office Max. I was using it for sewing supplies, I later switch to using if for actual pencils and erasers, and now I use it for small electronic items. That's right, I still have it over 13 years later. Those things are built to last.
The chair was given to me by a friend from church. She gave me a ride home and just happen to have it in the trunk of her car intending to drop it off at a thrift store, but offered it to me instead. The desk came from a neighbor, similar store.
Above the small white drawers, you can see a cat face. That's from cute paper book cover I got in high school for my textbooks. I kept it for years before using it to cover an aluminum can to make a pencil holder.
Above the chair, you can see a basket covered with lace. It's a basket I save from being tossed. I decorated it with lace and used to store my lace and other trims (see Decorating and Launching).
And that's just a handful of memories.
Makes me want to go through all my old photos and posts, maybe there's a few more memories to share later.
Look forward to it.
Very creative. I used to craft when my children were young. Thanks for sharing at Love Your Creativity.
