...y'all remember how I said I don't spend enough time drawing...well...I sketched the piccies of my grandbabes for Christmas...and started looking about for other things I could 'draw'...
...well...I remembered a post from
Beth at BLD in MT : Living a Simple Life in This Interconnected World...where she had created super cute labels for her spice jars...and I thought it would be a fun little project...
...and I LOVE lemon pepper...so I started with that one...they're best friends...hehe...
...and then I trimmed it...
... and made sure it would fit on the spice jar...
...and then I got out my coloured pencils and coloured it...and drew a few more little pictures...
...and coloured them...this is so much fun...
...I couldn't stop myself...and I made a new label for all of the spice jars...
...and then I peeled the original labels off...and taped the new one tightly around the jar...
...such a fun and satisfying little project...
...and then I addressed the little curliques on the baskets on the shelf in my craft room...aka the laundry room...haha...
...the baskets were made by the Man's Mamaw...and gifted to us one at a time over the years...and I've always used them to store things around the house...pillows...magazines...and now they're all lined up on the shelf in the craft room - holding - well - craft things...
...but the little curliques and wooden beads have always sort of bothered me...they catch on things and they're very thin and break...
...so I just decided since they have no structural purpose that I'd just snip them all off and have smooth sided baskets...
...and then since I had the knitting basket down...and it looked rather jumbled...
...I made little wraps for all of the loose needles...the slide on and off easily...and keep the pairs together...
...and I made sure all of the needles were back in the case my sweet Sissie had given me all those years ago...that short worn pair of number eights were my very first pair of knitting needles ever...Mom bought them for me at Roses when I was about 10 years old...
...and finally I saw a super cute little heart shaped night light that I thought would be perfect in the yellow bedroom for the grandbabes...or for other guests if they wanted it...
~Have a lovely day!
