Makeover Monday: 9/3

 ~*~

This exotic fabric really caught my eye at the thrift.  It was a fitted double sheet, but I cut the whole thing up into a veeeeery long 1.5" wide strip.  I wound it up into a ball, got out the crochet hook, and...

...made an upcycled hanging basket.  It's perfect to catch the mail when you first come home, and would work nicely for a bouquet of dried flowers, too.  Ooh, or take-out menus!

And guess what?  My *ingenious* design can also sit nicely upon a tabletop if you prefer.  And of course, it can be made to match any decor.

  It's been a long time since I have made something new.  I'm a happy girl this Labor Day.  How about you?

Makeover Monday 2/20

~*~

For today's makeover, I chose this vintage pillowcase.  I had originally purchased it with plans of selling it in sosovintage, but on close examination it had too many imperfections.  That made it a perfect choice for a sosorosey project!

Mmm... lemon blueberry poppyseed.

I added a knotted strip of the fabric to use as a hanger.  I can't be the only one with limited space on my desk!  The possibilities of these hanging storage pods are endless- I don't know why I never thought of 

this before!  There will certainly be more of these to come :)

Makeover Monday: 3/15

For today's makeover, you chose the jersey knit cotton butterfly fabric.

Though the butterflies disappeared once the fabric was cut and crocheted, their colors live on!

I've wanted to make a hanging basket for a long time, and decided to try to make one in the general style of an antique fisherman's carrier. While this one can serve many purposes, I love the idea of hanging it in your office area or by the front door to hold mail. Anything that keeps clutter off of the workspace is a good thing, right?
