This Fall is going to be a crazy time for me! I have something big going on every weekend starting Sept. 16- Oct. 15. I have lots of great shows/markets (that I plan to fill you in on later! 😉 ).
So, to put it lightly….I have A LOT to do!
Today I finally found some time to work on a few small projects that have been in my “head.”
I had gotten a large basket a couple of weeks ago that had birch weaved through grapevine. The grapevine was in rough shape, so I soaked it in the bathtub to soften the birch and then carefully removed EVERY LAST PIECE of birch. (Not the quickest or most fun job.) My family thought I was crazy, btw!
And this is what has become of the birch…
I think they came out GREAT! I love how they are rustic and natural.
Ok, so this next little project I completed today started…OH, six years ago! Not really, but I got the quilt starter then. I bought it an auction and paid what I felt was a lot for it, but the colors and patterns were beautiful. Needless to say, I haven’t made a quilt and still love the fabric, so I decided to use it to make bulletin boards.
I found this great vintage frame and it has become the first frame of many for my quilted bulletins.
And what is a fun bulletin without fun push pins?!? 🙂
I just can’t wait until September, so these will be available at in my Etsy shop… if your interested!
Have a great Friday!

Love the birch projects. Don’t worry about family thinking you are crazy. Some people get it, some don’t. I get it.
