Up-cycled Doily Blanket (DIY)

In the very hectic weeks before Christmas, I spent my precious alone time curled up on the couch with a cat, eating cookies and looking through a bottomless pile of catalogs.

Call of the Wild

Last week, I finished reading Jack London’s Call of the Wild.  The story follows Buck, a sled dog, and his journey through the deep Yukon wilderness.

Miniature Guest Room

To me, working with my hands is as vital to my body as water and shelter.  I itch to make things.  My fingers are constantly in motion: tearing paper, twisting my hair or fiddling with my jewelry.  Building creates an outlet for that energy, even if the things I make are pointless.  That’s how I feel about today’s project.  Motivated my success a few days ago in the junk basket, I took on the rest of my apartment.  I hunted for materials that could inspire me in making other miniature items.  Under the bathroom sink sat a grimy travel case full of old, half used make up.  A handful of the compacts, jars and brushes were magically transformed to fashion this little guestroom where any tiny visitor would feel welcome.
