I'm back and I must say, I'm so looking forward to having my routine back to normal! It's been a busy week and I'm worn out. But now things can settle down and I can get back to stitching, sewing and glue-guning! LOL!!!
We've done some shopping this week and I found 4 Vintage Hats with Vintage Millinery Flowers in the antique mall. I buy these old hats and then take them apart and use the Vintage Flowers on my projects:
And here are the Vintage Millinery Flowers that I end up with:
I save everything from these old hats that I can. If there's trim or usable fabric, I save it. Waste not, want not! Would you like to see how to take these old hats apart? See my Taking Apart Vintage Hats Tutorial.
I use these Vintage Flowers on my Crazy Quilts, Fabric Cuff Bracelets and other projects.
In other news, my sweet friend Cathy Scalise of Treasured Heirlooms included one of my Crazy Quilt pieces in a beautiful Etsy Treasury. If you have a free moment, please see that Etsy Treasury and please leave a comment. If it gets enough views and comments, it may make it to Etsy's front page!

unless I absolutely have to (can you tell I'm not a fan of winter?) so what
to do ...
