I'm working on a quilt using antique quilt blocks & vintage feed sacks. It's the perfect size for a camper bed or a quilt to cuddle with on the couch.  Here is one section.

I just completed all the rooms in my dollhouse.  I have spent $63.00 out of pocket on this project.  That is for the dollhouse, furniture and accessories.  This is pretty good because I looked into buying items online and they were so expensive.  A single piece of handmade furniture costs more than what I spent on the entire project!  I repurposed the furniture that came with the dollhouse and made the rest out of stuff I had.  The piece I used for the potting shed was purchased for $1. at the thrift store.  I made the wood desk in the studio out of a wood box top, a vintage ruler, scrap wood and a round dowel.  Here is a peek at the rooms!  Please let me know what you think!

I bought the tool box & tools, and the sewing machine at Michaels. 

Yesterday I painted and finished all of my loft furniture, and today I stained the floor, added the wallpaper and finished this industrial loft space.  I am trying to make everything by hand, but I really want to add some lighting, and I will need to read up and buy the wire & stuff.  I would like to have this loft space in Denver!  It's my favorite city and it would be fun to stay there when we visit.  Dream big, right!?!

I have been working on my space for a gallery opening this week!  I am so excited to be a part of this new adventure!  My space will feature vintage and handmade items.  A bit of that old & new things that I love!
I made curtains out of vintage linens, painted the door and filled the room with handmade pillows, some furniture and chic junk!  More details to come!

I have always wanted to decorate a dollhouse!  I bought a beautiful dollhouse about 30 years ago and started collecting furniture for it, but I didn't have any place to work on it or store it, so I got rid of it.  How sad!  Anyway, I went to a sale at a school on Saturday, and there was a homemade dollhouse.  I didn't buy it, and left.  Well, I was driving home and I thought I really should go back and look at the dollhouse, even though I didn't need it.  It came with some mismatched furniture, and I just couldn't pass it up.
I brought the dollhouse home and decided I had better make room for it in my art room, because if I didn't I would never finish it.  I have now completed 2 rooms and I am having so much fun decorating it!

I still need to finish the door by the stairs, but other than that the nursery is finished.

At the end of the month I will have a space in a gallery for my vintage and handmade items.  I am really excited and I will write a post about it as soon as I have photos to share.  I just finished repurposing this cabinet for display.  I painted it, decoupaged parts of it and, and waxed it.  I can put items in the drawers and change out the vintage clothing to keep it fresh.  I can't wait to see how my new adventure goes!!

I made this clothespin bag out of vintage linen.  When I finished it, I wasn't too excited about it, and decided to embellish it with a little dress I made years ago after I saw one in a magazine.  It's not practical for outside, but it would look cute in a laundry room!

I made this pocket sewing kit out of a piece of antique quilt my sister gave me.  I am fascinated with the antique soldier's "housewife" kits that were made in the middle of the 18th century.
