Patchwork Quilted Pillow w/Ruffles

These are some scraps left over from my quilt that I am still working on.  :)

Crochet Lampshade

I do seem to have a thing for milk glass....you can get these cute vintage lamps for a few bucks, but then you are trying to find a shade that fits properly and is as cute as the lamp itself.  I did stumble across one at hobby lobby and made a cover for it.

Scrap Crochet Towel

I used up most of my cotton scraps up with this towl.  It is a half double crochet working in spaces vs. stitches.  It works up really fast.  I added a few buttons and a scallop trim.

Vintage Apron Wall Hangings

I have had a few vintage aprons around and I decided to tear them up and use the fabric for other projects.  The pockets were so cute ... Put them in an embroidery hoop and hung them up on the wall:)

Baby Blanket Re-Do

I really did try to save this blanket...but it was not to be:(...but I now can enjoy it in a different way.  I also had a baby picture of my mom and I with the blanket in the background, so I really wanted to do something with that.
