Patchwork Pillow

Last October I started to design a project. Then I started to make it true and got injured. But now I have finally finished it!

Designing this pillow case was challenging because I wanted to use only left over fabrics I have in stash. I used also recycled zipper (at backside) from an old bag. The ribbon is from the collection I have bought for my stash to decorate plain fabrics. I think it matches well with this design.

Dressing Off Christmas

 
I've had this beautiful golden-red winter decoration light for years. Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore.

Instead of throwing it immediately away I took a closer look at it. It is made of two different items: the light and the decoration. Which are twined together and I was able to took the decoration off.

I have also one very old winter light which is quite simple. I decided to combine this to the decoration taken off from the light that didn't work anymore.

Despite I suddenly had many meters of light chain and decoration chain it was not difficult at all and I didn't need to do anything that has something to do with electric work.

It turn out very pretty. I put it into the box to wait for Yuletide 2020. And the broken light chain is ready to be taken to the recycling center.

BirthdayWishes

This pretty birthday card is made by (again) using old calendar's page. The basic things you need for a card making are cardboard, scissors, cutter, glue and inspiration. Remember to keep your eyes open to cut off and stash pretty reusable pics from wrappers, calendars, commercial mail etc.

SnowFlakes

I still keep on receiving mail sent for me last year before Christmas because of the strike. The strike is over and it turn out well but we still feel its consequences. So, don't get worried if you have not heard about me since October or your post has not reached me yet.

I have decorated my own writing papers for many times but not shown you it all. I still am using old papers that I inherit from my grand mother and my kids' old school notebooks. After each grade I pile the notebooks up and took off the empty unused pages. It is a great way to save the nature resources and recycle.

For cleaning your stamps you don't need any special equipment or expensive liquids. Warm water, old toothbrush and kitchen towel do just fine. It the ink needs something stronger than a water, a normal kitchen soap does just fine.
