When I was a kid I would use anything I could find for my craft projects..twigs, old fabric, tons of Elmer's glue, rocks, hardware pieces from my dad's junk box, cardboard and buttons from my grandma's huge tin. Seriously, WHATEVER I could find. I loved making weird sculptures and magical dioramas, but mostly I loved spending quiet time in my room listening to the radio and being creative. When I was making these mushrooms, my mind immediately raced back to that time. It doesn't matter what you make, being creative is what it's all about! Make whatever your heart desires, my sweet friends, and don't forget to Make Your Mark!
My gorgeous trio
Magical for sure!
Watch how to make them here!
A little something different for my Halloween decor
Every time I see a funky crazy quilt or patchwork garment, I think of the song
"Coat of Many Colors" by Dolly Parton. It used to make me cry when I was a kid, but that's another story. It might be sole reason I never toss my scraps no matter how small. Well, since my scrap box was exploding, it was time to use them up and honor the lovely Dolly with a project. I had a blast making these pillows and reminiscing about all of the fun projects they were used in over the years. Remember to use even the smallest scraps for your projects...Oh, and always Make Your Mark!
Color blast!
I even got to use up some old doilies and lace scraps that have been hanging around for years!
