Simple Joys....

I am definately a small joys or simple pleasures kind of person. I love the little details and finding joy in things that could easily be passed over. I have seen this beginning in my girls especially and it has been pretty fun to watch. For Bell, all it takes is a silly pair of socks and she feels beautiful. It doesn't matter that it is extremely hot out or that they do not match, she exudes joy when she has these on! And that makes me smile and appreciate the little gift's from God, even if it is only a pair of socks with a hole in them!!!

What To Do With Vintage Bed Linens-#4

Spring is coming! I think!? We have had quite the tease here in the Midwest-do I wear shorts or my winter coat today!? None the less, I feel the fever coming on for sunshine, gardening, and days in the pool! So, feeling so inspired, I thought it would be nice to sew up a few reminders of the springtime blooms we are awaiting. If you have paid any attention the the bed linens of the 60's and 70's, they all tend to scream flower power!! Pretty fun if you some color in you day. And, they are not to difficult to coordinate! So many of them seem like they were meant for one another!

So, in preparation for ball games, days at the beach, summer camp, garage sales, and parades, simple totes make a perfect project for vintage bed linens. They make wonderful book bags, just throw in your favorite book, journal, pen, and of course you camera and have it ready for the unexpected moments of inspiration. Or, bring it to the hospital full of goodies for a friend who needs some cheer.
















Happy sewing from one bag lady to the next!!
