An Easy DIY Embroidery Tin

Now that I decided that embroidery is  one of my favourite crafts to play with, along  came a DIY mini embroidery kit:

A secret, gals: every time I go to the thrift store I search for these tins, as they are sold for pennies ( usually $.39 or $.49 cents)  and are always useful for something, love them!

So, with my tin i had and all my material:

I used hot glue to attach the felt and the wide elastic  to the tin

A little spray paint + sanding doesn't hurt at all, uh?

A embroidery tin is ready and it's been very used lately this little thing!

A thing that pleases me about it: it looks like something my dear grandma would have had or used, and that is a sweet thought to me!

My latest thrifted treasures

Hi!

I haven't posted here all my thrifted treasures I have found recently, so here they go!

Can you believe that I found 3 perfectly new drum shades at the thrift store for 3 dollars each? I gasped in shock when I saw them, and did not have enough hands to carry them all before someone would snatch them - so I did it before! ( haha I did not have a shopping kart, so ladies, picture the scene!)

One for my bedroom, one for the hall way one for the living room)

THIS gorgeous Gucci (??!!) pashmina was in the Bed & Home section hahahahaha

I think they thought it was stable runner haha

$3.99 gals!!

And I LOVE IT, it is so soft and chic!

Gorgeous indian carved box for $2.99...ahhhhh

THIS: whatever it is , is beautiful, fits perfectly above the piano, it is already antiqued (!!) AND it costed $2.99!

Because of my "tropical" roots I have the "pineapple" theme and crush going on in my house...

THis is not a pineapple "per se" , but it looks like a "modern art" one hahaha

$3.99 and lovely!

Baby Bell Cheese Faces

Yesterday at coffee break at church I saw one of the cutest and more creative things I have seen done with food in a loooong time:

A very special and  talented lady  in my church, Annabelle, brought these yummy cheesy cutsie faces..what can one say? we were all "awww", and nobody wanted to east them really , so cute they were!

 Baby bell cheese faces..can't get cuter than this!

For  the tiny details, she used a food colouring pen she found at Michaels. Handy, uh?

Thanks Annabelle! She is such a good lady, she authorized me to post this here, lucky me:)

My lucky day: Thrifted Dresser

What do you do when you find THIS on Kijiji for 60 bucks?

you run, you run fast to get it asap,  as I did!! 

I can not believe how gorgeous this piece is, real wood, from the 70's, and a creamy colour that even I, the lover and worshiper  of spray paint and all related pigment devices would not touch! 

At least for now:) wink wink

It gives a nice break to my bedroom, as my furniture is all dark and it feels very "heavy" sometimes.

Can you believe these feet?
