Makeover Monday: 4/2

~*~

I have many bunny faces and jute appliques to make this week, but I also have this beginning post for a wonderful makeover that will be happening in the next 10 days or so.  All of these fabrics will combine to make an heirloom lidded clutter keeper that will make its way to Australia upon completion.  Looking forward to working with a spectacularly kind and fun repeat customer on this project!

Wednesday's Works

~*~

My giant string basket is growing!  So far the base is about 18" wide- going out to almost 20" before starting to go up.

~*~

I finished this natural cream cotton runner in record time.  She is 12" by 48" and ready to head to her new home in Fleetwood, PA!

~*~

What have you been working on this week?

Makeover Monday: 11/19

 I found this fun paisley tablecloth the other day, and knew the colors and pattern would look lovely as a crocheted *thing*.

I love it!  This basket is positively bursting with personality.  It's a large one, too- about 10" across and 4" tall.  A perfect fruit bowl for that eco~conscious person on your holiday list.

Shabby Baby Blue

I realized I didn't have very much baby blue happening in sosorosey, so I had to fix that STAT!  This little bucket is 7" wide by 3.5" high.  She sports a little removable matching side bow for a burst of charm.  Besides this blue, I discovered another color that I am missing in the shop- care to guess what it is?  Look for it on Makeover Monday 4/11.  Until then- have a super fantastic weekend :)

Makeover Monday: 2/21

We've had such a nice taste of spring the last few days, that I thought I'd choose a bright fabric for today's makeover. Here's the ball all cut and ready to be crocheted; it's a floral print with pinks, lavender and turquoise on a tangerine background.

~*~Here's a closeup of how all the colors look blended together...

... and here's the whole big basket. She is 7" in diameter and almost 4" tall... a great size to bring a functional burst of warmth to any room of the house. Look for her in sosorosey soon!

Happy President's Day to you Americans out there! Are you having a holiday today? My hubby had to work, but Sophie did not have school today. This week I will be readying a big bunch of goodies for a trip to The Muse in Frederick in early March. I'm also looking forward to working on the edging for a special bath mat order. I have a very exciting possible wedding order in sosovintage that I should hear a final answer on soon- I'll share details on that if I get the job! What do you have happening in your neck of the woods this week?

Makeover Monday 1/10

When I went thrifting at Yesterday's Rose last week, I wasn't looking for t-shirts. When I got there, however, I discovered that t-shirts were on sale: 4 for $1. I decided it would be a good time to look for tie-dyed tees to repurpose. I only found two, but how exciting that they were both red and white! Perfect for the upcoming month of love.
~*~

I cut and crocheted the extra large shirt last night. This is a really nice sized bowl, and I even had enough fabric to give it a fancy rim. I think she looks like a plus size peppermint :)

~*~

Happy Monday! The forecast is calling for snow along the east coast tomorrow, so there is a decent chance that Sophie may finally get to use her new Christmas sled! I'm looking forward to a week of finishing up a couple of custom orders and crossing some items off of my to-do list for this month. What do you have going on these days?

Makeover Monday: 12/13

A very talented Etsy friend and repeat customer, Deb of Keepsake Blossoms, has an exciting new venture she is preparing for. She'll be selling her beautiful clay flowers at her own kiosk in her new hometown. She came to me looking for a basket tray to display some of her wares. She wanted shabby chic, but needed color since most of the blooms this will contain will be white. I dove into my stash and found this gorgeous Waverly flannel sheet that would be perfect for the job!

~*~

The result looks like a garden itself! The pinks and greens and touches of red really flow together in a gorgeous way. I'd love to see a photo of this full of Deb's amazing handiwork.

Happy Monday! This is Sophie's last week of school before the holidays, and she even gets out early on the 17th! Wha???? Her Christmas program at school is today, and I'm excited to see her all dressed up and singing her little heart out. I'll be sending off the last of the family holiday packages today, and crocheting stars as fast as my fingers can crank them out. This will be one of those beyond busy weeks for me... how about you? Wishing us all lots of luck getting done what we need to get done- and enjoying the spirit of the season in the process!

Makeover Monday: 10/11

If polka dots are fun for fabric crochet, hearts must be just as good if not better!

~*~

I crocheted the entire twin size cotton sheet to make this basket- she's a really nice size! Her speckly self is quite adorable, but I have something in mind to make her extra special.

~*~

I need your opinion ... If you had to choose one color to coordinate with this, would it be sprout green, teal, raspberry, orange, or rose? I'll see what the consensus is tonight, and will be back with the resulting basket on Wednesday. I can't wait to see what you choose!

~*~

Have a great week!

Makeover Monday: 6/21

For today's makeover, I started with a classic 70's diagonal rainbow sheet. I forgot to take a picture of it "before", but I think this hem should jog your memory!

~*~

Look how fun and bright she turned out! This basket measures a generous 7.5" wide and over 4" tall. She'll be on the sosorosey shelf later today :)

Happy Monday, Friends!! What do you have going on this week? Me, I have to unpack and get the house back in order after my little mini vacation last week. I have TONS to photograph and list for sosovintage... and with the little one in summer camp this week, it may just get done!
