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!.
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!
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!
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....
I went out to the barn to visit my lil trailer,,,, we talked, we laughed and we made plans for next years Glamping Fun... then I said good night, turned off the light and locked the door.... Sleep sweet lil trailer, sleep sweet until Spring.
