Repurpose Fabric for my Daughters room

This past week was a week for re-purposing  some fabric to add some touches to her room.

earlier in the week she asked me for a garbage can.. and while I had a few plain white ones kicking around that was just not going to do for her room so following the instructions to make the Crayon Holder I made last week, I covered an old garbage can that was not being used with a receiving blanket that was also no longer being used.  then to help her keep the bag in her garbage and add a little decoration I made a band That I had seen earlier in the week, the flower is the same one I make for the flower hats earlier this year.

DD's Trash can for her used Tissues!
she quickly filled it by pretending to blow her nose! lol!


Then another project I had been meaning to do was make something out of my daughters out grown favourite shirt, I had a little fabric left over from the reviving blanket so I used that to back a pillow made from her favourite t-shirt so now she can sleep with it every night!

Hello Again and the Organizing Challenge

Hello Again Everyone It has been a long time since I have taken the time to share my Craftyness with you.  This is not because I have not been crafty but more because I have gotten busy and probably a little lazy also my place is kinda messy and often I feel some tidying needs to be done before I can take pictures to show and then well .... It just kinda falls by the way side. I have decided I am going to try to ease back into doing more crafting and more blogging, and the way I have decided to do this is by taking part in an organizing challenge on one of my favorite Thrifty blogs,  Mrs January.com . and I will try my best to share my results with you here on my blog.

So who is with me? check o
