“If you are like me, summertime is a
beloved season. Kiddies are out of school, things are a little less routine,
room is made in the schedule for pool time and beach trips. We like going to
the movies too (have you seen Pirates 4 yet? loved it). Family vacations,
outdoor activities, BBQ's, and a host of other too fun activities are in full
swing. Of course my summer is going a little different, I've still got a little
way to recover from my recent surgery, but at least I am feeling more creative.
So maybe you'll be inspired to create some keepsakes out of your vacation
mementos. While shopping at the Goodwill not too long ago, I bought a whole bag
of embroidery hoops, all sizes in wood and metal for a whopping 1.49. So you
may have some of these on hand, or found some old ones too, and of course, they
still sell the wooden ones new. I used two of the metal ones, which were my
faves, and happen to fit a sand dollar and star fish I had. I have only been
lucky enough to find a whole sand dollar on the beach once. Plenty of shells
and stones, just never sand dollars. So if your luck is like mine, craft stores
and even Walmart (or Wally-mart as Logan calls it) has a great selection.
You'll need a little bit of fabric too, I had this fabric left over from my
inspiration board project and thought it looked great with this project. I
think osnaburg fabric would be pretty too.”
I use it so that it seems different.”
