Sewing Basket Re~do

I found this sad looking little sewing Basket at the local Thrift for $1.00
It looked so sad.....that I could not resist 'adopting' it....
I ripped out the old icky fabric inside and re-did it with some scrap fabric that I had left over from other projects. I never throw away fabric bits-n-pieces...you never know when they will come in handy. I gathered up some old homeless Bling & glued them onto the top of the basket.

And this is what it looks like now.... a happy little sewing basket that I can use as a sewing basket or a Jewelery box or trinket keeper..... It will go in the Aljo someday. But for now this sweet basket is sitting in my sewing room storing my 3 pairs of reading glasses! lol!.

Trailer #3's Door Curtain...

Well, I finally got around to stitching up the curtain for Trailer #3...for the entry door.

I had a yard of this cool Moda vintage looking towel fabric,,, but the door window was 12" x 42" so I needed to lengthen the fabric...once again I snooped through my stash of fabric and came across just enough 'Ticking' fabric to extend the length of the Moda fabric.,,, then I found some scrap jumbo RicRac trim! Wahooo & Voila! New door window curtain. I even had enough Ticking fabric to make a tie sash for the curtain.

Now to paint the curtain rod red and then get everything installed...

Trailer #3 aka 'Farm Girl on the Loose' is coming along and I can hardly wait to go Glamping in her next Summer. Happy Trails!

Look! A Retro Western Style Shirt...

I just love this ladies western shirt....


It is by "Roper Western Wear of Denver", from their line of retro western style shirts. How lucky am I? I won it on an on-line auction site.... it will go perfect with my red petticoat,,,, and my red cowgirl hat at next summer's Farm Chick camp out. Now to find a cool pair of red cowgirl boots to go with them. I have all Winter to 'shop' for the perfect pair of red boots... Happy Trails to you.... p.s. 'Dear Santa, I wear a size 8 in Red Cowgirl Boots'... & I have been very good! lol!

I bought 2 more...

Oh Good grief.... I could not resist...and bought these two 'Train Cases' aka women's cosmetic over night cases....
I haven't decided what to do with them... keep them, decoupage' them or sell them... I love the fabric plaid one, it would look cute in my Serro Scotty trailer... I have several like the white one which is great to re-purpose. Oh well, in the mean time I'll store more cute trailer deco stuff in them. Happy Trails....
