When January first arrived, I was down and out sick. I had no thoughts of upcoming resolutions much less any projects. I have had lots of projects on the back burner...but you know how that seems to go.
"I'll do that when I have some free time."
For many weeks now I have been on steroids and they keep me up for long hours with no sleep and give me this energy I have to just go with.
I have had this dress form for more than a few years now. I paid $10 for it at a garage sale. It was the guardian at the laundry room door, serving no purpose but to take up space and let me know it was still "undone."
So I hauled her in the studio.
I took some cream house paint I had on hand and gave it a coat of paint to even out the color.
I pulled out my lace and fabric stash
my jars of buttons...................and draped her with a beige plain tablecloth....then started hot gluing lace doilies here and there.................then added buttons...
and here she is completely transformed.
This lamp shade was lying around waiting to be noticed on a shelf................
So I added some extra wide open weave ribbon I had on hand.....with some fabric flowers....
The only thing I had to go out and buy was the fixture to transform her into the light.
May this new year find you using up some of your stash..............
