Old Sewing Drawer Decorated for Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We sure did.  My daughter and her family ate with us yesterday, and we at with them today.  She lives nearby so that makes it so much easier.

I have been busy decorating for Christmas.  I've done all I plan, except for the tree.  We use a small tree now, and I'll probably get it up tomorrow.  I'll be sharing everything for the next several days (maybe weeks)!

I was anxious to decorate the old sewing machine drawer I bought recently at Queen of Hearts. 


It sits on the bookcase in the dining room.  I removed the fall decor, and added 2 large styro foam snowflakes, a garland of red beads, two bunches of silver grapes, some holly and pine cones, and a Christmas card from last year.  I love the way it turned out. 







The door I distressed stands behind the bookcase.  I added some burgundy ribbon to the burlap wreath, and hung this little snow man stocking.


This is one of my favorite spots to decorate.  I'll be back soon with more decorations to show you!  I'd love to see what you have done.  Leave me a comment, and I'll pop over to your place and return the favor!  


I'll be partying at


Be sure to stop by!  You'll be glad you did!

  10. What a pretty vignette in the drawer! We went to an architectural salvage place and I stood there with a $5.00 drawer in my hand. Should have bought it!

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
