More Shabby Angels

 I managed to get two more shabby angels done! They are now in my Etsy shop!

 I can't believe how quickly this season is going... I thought I had plenty of time to work on my angels and some how time got away from me.... And with all the Thanksgiving preparations I'm super busy!!! 

 All I feel like doing lately is working on Christmas things for my shop ! Not getting ready for Thanksgiving.... lol   And I'm baby sitting my 6 month old Grandson 2 days a week now so no crafting gets done on those days... lol That's why I said I "managed" to get these two dolls done... ;)

Happy Thanksgiving!

More Sweater Pumpkins

 Still having fun creating sweater pumpkins!! Just added this grey set to my Etsy shop! I'm really into Greys right now especially Grey and Cream so I couldn't wait to make some Grey pumpkins this year...

It's a beautiful Fall day here in Chicago. Loving the cooler breeze coming in the windows....
Have a great day,
Pattie

My Craig's List China Hutch

I'm so thrilled!!!
I've been wanting a vintage china hutch for the longest time... I'm always checking Craig's List but all I ever see are the china cabinets with glass doors and I wanted one that's open like this one... I was so happy when I finally spotted this one about 2 weeks ago!!!

I'm planning on painting it white with some homemade chalk paint but I haven't had the chance to get to the store and look at paint!


Even though I'm going to paint it I couldn't wait to start putting some of my stuff in it to see how it looks.... I love it but I still think everything looks better white.....

  
                                    

 Here are a few pics of some of my junk... Most from thrift stores and a few things from antique malls...

 

 The reason I have one of my vintage scales on top is I was just trying out a few different things to see what looks best up there and forgot to take it down before the pic...

 I have an old window frame I might put up there but not sure yet... I'm not good at creating adorable vignettes like you see out there in blogland...  But I know I want to definitely put a few things on top because my ceilings are high and it looks to empty, I also need to fix the hole from the mirror I had hanging on that wall... 

 I found this beautiful vintage tray at the thrift store the other day, It looks like a tray from maybe a soup tureen... I wish they would have had both pieces that would have had me jumping for joy!! Even though it was just the one piece I took it because I thought it was so pretty....

I'll share pics when I get the china hutch painted white with the chalk paint! Hope you enjoyed seeing my Craig's List buy!!

More Peat Pot Easter Baskets

 I finished the neutral color Easter baskets! Added them to my Etsy shop!

 These are my favorite colors!!

 I think I will work on one for myself now! It was hard for me to put these in the shop, I want to keep them! lol! I started working a few little bird houses last night for the shop and now I'm thinking maybe I should keep those too!! lol! At this rate I will never get anything in my shop.... lol

Have a blessed day,

Welcome To My New Blog!

 Welcome to my new blog! I am so excited to have another blog besides my doll blog. I'll be using this blog to share my crafting and thrifting adventures and also for sharing items I am working on for  my new Etsy shop "Tattered Treasures". It's not open yet, I'm still working on some cute little things to fill it up with. I'll share the link to it as soon as it's open! It's going to have shabby/ vintage/ chic /romantic style things to decorate your home. Also seasonal stuff. I just love sewing and crafting seasonal items!!

 With all the Heart crafting going on in blogland this month it really put me in the mood to make some heart garland. Just playing around with these little hearts here that I created from felt and warm and natural batting that's been coffee stained for a vintage look...

 Haven't sewn any of it together yet, still playing around with them and trying to decide what I want to embellish them with... They still need some vintage buttons and pearl seed beads...
I just discovered Sugarlump Studios recently. Her creations are gorgeous! If you've never been there go check it out! ;) So much inspiration!

 I also started making these adorable little muslin bunny rabbits. They are going to sit in little Easter baskets made from peat pots. ( I'm having a hard time finding peat pots in my area though, all I find are the little ones with dirt already in them..) I'll have to go out and check again... I think they are going to be so cute! I will share when they are done! It's kinda late to be starting Easter stuff for Etsy now so I don't know if I will put them in the shop or not.... I may end up keeping them or giving them to family.

 Also working on these mini dress forms for the new shop. It's going to be fun embellishing these too!

Another Idea I had was making a few different types of wings, these are one type. They are going to be embellished with fabric flowers and seam binding ribbon in the center. I think they will look pretty once they are finished... they look kind of weird in this pic. lol

Well I hope you enjoyed getting a sneak peek at some of the things I am working on!

Have a blessed day,
Pattie
