Headband Project

This lovely model is wearing a headband that I made today. (She sure could use some wrinkle cream LOL). This is one of the projects I am working on for Chopperfest at the campground. Great thing for using scraps of fabric. I plan on making some orange and black flame ones and also some patriotic ones. Can't wait to go see what material I can find. They don't take much time to sew. The cutting mat and rotary cutter are getting a workout.

I will try and stay caught up now. I have a huge event coming up in June at our campground. They are expecting well over 1000 people a day. The event is called "Chopperfest". There are around 20 bands, some famous wrestlers and celebreties not named yet, motorcycle events, a car show, all kinds of vendors and food and beverages. The proceeds of the two day event go to help disabled children in Wisconsin. I will be doing some wood crafts for that and I have some sewing items I want to make.

Andy's friend bought an older fixer upper house and asked if Justina and I would like to check out the "Junkue" in the shed and we can have whatever we want. The rest is going in the trash. Of course we said when can we go!!!

That's all for now. CinnamonLaine if you are out there let me know your address.

IT WAS FUN TO SEE HOW MUCH EVERYONE HAS IN COMMON AS FAR AS RELAXING. A LOT OF SEWING PEOPLE.

I LIKE TO DO SOME HAND STITCHING AND SEWING ALSO. CRAFTING IN GENERAL IS RELAXING TO ME. I ALSO LIKE TO SPEND TIME AT THE TRAILER. CAN'T WAIT TO DO THAT AGAIN SOON.

I GOT THIS END TABLE TOP THAT WAS PROBABLY GOING TO END UP IN A DUMPSTER. FORGOT TO TAKE A BEFORE PHOTO. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT POOR THING HAD NO LEGS. I ROUGHED IT UP WITH SAND PAPER AND PAINTED ON THE BUTTERMILK AND BARN RED. WAS NOT QUITE SURE WHAT TO PUT ON NEXT. IN THE MEANTIME I SET IT ON MY STOVE TOP AND I LIKED IT THERE. I FOUND THIS ROOSTER PATTERN AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE KIND OF CUTE ON IT. JUST NEED TO MAYBE STAIN IT A BIT AND SPRAY CLEAR IT.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU CAN MAKE OUT OF OTHER PEOPLES TRASH. IT IS ALWAYS A TREASURE TO ME!!!

HAVE SOME SEWING PROJECTS I DID LAST WEEK TO POST YET. JUST NEED TO FINISH UP A COUPLE THINGS.

Blessing Box

I found this unfinished box of course at a thrift store. I have been wanting to make some so I bought it for the pattern. I painted it black, added the "blessing" saying and sanded it. Now I just need to add some fillers.

Before

After

The little bench I have it on came from my parents. They had it sitting outside with a board on top and used it to set their coffee on while sitting on the glider. It is actually an old sewing machine stand. I dry brushed barn red on the board that I got my brother. The board was a piece that he had made from trees that my dad had planted when he was a teenager. They did a huge remodel of the old farmhouse and had trees off the farm rough sawn for the ceiling and kitchen cabinets. Pine on the ceiling and oak for the cabinets. Their kitchen and dining area walls were stripped down to the original log cabin (what a process) that my great-grandparents built. Well over a hundred years old. This project has been a very long one. My sister in law has a great deal of patience!! She waited a long time to have a real kitchen. Besides having six children growing up.
