recycle kids art into greeting cards....

If you have children, you have a drawer, file folder or box... of your child's art projects.  I have a few folders of things that I can't seem to toss in the recycling bin.  Some are paintings on scraps of paper that struck me as beautiful.  I needed some thank you cards for a recent family event, and thought of this.  What better way to send a note to a family member than on a recreation of their own granddaughter, niece or great niece's works of art.  Turned out rather pretty!

pot holders....

I've started to get ready for Christmas!  Scrap buster pot holders are the ticket this year!  I found this killer fancy pot holder tutorial here and I love it!  Perfect if you've got some fat quarters lying around! I modified if of course, and made it without a pocket. 



 I had a few fat quarters of this fabric and it turned out pretty cute.
