Tin Can Sewing Caddy

I made a sewing caddy which includes a pin cushion that's pretty enough to be set on a shelf, yet comes in handy while I'm measuring and cutting out patterns. Made with used tin cans it's a quick, easy project.

  • I am just not into decoupage. I like colour and lots of it. Hmmm.... what to do?
  • I started by painting the teapot green. Then I added some purple stripes to jazz it up.
  • A small mason jar became the vase that fit inside just perfectly. Love the flower spout, don't you?

  • Most of the stuff just collected over the years...been trying to get some spreading things to fill in but the steppables etc don't like this and other things want to overtake...so we'll see how the alyssum does.

A Photo of My Junk Pile

I have lovingly called this my junkpile for several years it was the very first thing I did to start on such a huge task as my back yard. I just threw some allysum seeds in this week to see if I can get them to grown...added some more dirt... but overall it is what it is...a junkpile that I love...its right next to our bbq area and adds loads of interest to a normally ugly spot.

  • New White Pillowcases for window curtains.
  • Nice and crisp and the king size pillowcases are the perfect size.
  • Hang the pillowcases with cafe curtain clips.

New White Pillowcases + Cafe Curtain Clips= Curtains for My Tiny Bath!

Our home was built in the 60's and the bathrooms are really small and the bathroom windows are not a standard size. For our tiny bathroom I purchased new white crisp pillowcases and hung them with cafe curtain clips. Perfect!!
