New Room Day...


I sat today aside to be THE DAY that I organize the craft room. And what is the first memory that pops up on Facebook this morning?


My craft supplies right now is a little bit of yarn, some scraps of material and some glue products (guns, bottles, etc.) along with assorted buttons. Everything else was stuff I have purchased over the years to have on hand for Children's Church. With our new program, I won't be needing those items any more so I'm clearing out to make room for fabric and items needed for applique. I want to start doing some applique. It is so fun and so relaxing.


I also want to do appliques on items that I can sew and make into something.


I also want to do some Mason jar crafts.


I need to make a Walmart run. A friend of mine found these baskets for $1.98 each at Walmart. I'm going to head over there tomorrow and try to pick some up. They would be perfect to hold craft supplies.


I will keep you posted on what I end up doing. 










Placemat crafts


Years ago my mom, my sister and I went through a stage of making placemat totes. They were adorable and so super simple and super fun. I may try my hand at making them again. There are so many pretty placemats out there. Here are some I found on Pinterest. This first set is made from Dollar Tree placements and the accessory is a pot  holder.


  





Lots of ideas.
