Hi....I am a seamstress in Durango Co. I own my business and work out of home for several stores. In my spare time I collect and remake quilts/linens/doilys/old buttons ect. into crafts that my husband and I take to several shows during the year. So glad to have a site of kindred spirits as I have been an avid thrift/antique/fleamarket hunter all my life! Great creative ideas to share..hope to post a few of my own an keep the energy rollin.. thanks for the opportunities vicki

Re: Rusty Old Wheelbarrow Planter
Yes, I loved my old one till the bottom rusted an fell out.I had not punched the drain holes and the first big rain floated the plants right out! Needless to say my new old one has holes AND a good spray of rustolium paint before planting. ENJOY Vicki

Love this idea for garden art! A very good balance of simple find stuff. Will look at my freezer baskets as another road to creation than food. Can we market this as better than a diet pill? HA! Vicki

Ok...planter for sunflowers on top and herbs or flowers in the drawer...dog an cat food storage/feeder...wood stove kindlin box...photo or family hopechest keepsakes...a funky birdhouse outhouse w/moon, paint stir stick frame door/license plate roof and drawer front for a pull out feeder..Wood is GOOD..Our grandparents would have made it into a tator box, but will look to find out what you created in todays world... Have fun to consider options.. Vicki

Great use for fabric scraps! I did this once with braiding jean scraps, loved it but killed my washing machine with too much weight..What a LOT of work it was to sew together! This is rag ruggin that my grandparents used to do. So do love to see traditions of the past kept alive an appreciated! Vicki

What a nice piece! I am also working on my first potting bench an hadn't thought about the rake as a shelf but only as for hanging, great concept..can't find doors here, even old windows go for a lot, my piece seems to be going together with an old shutter and picket fence shelf..combinations are fun...keep colecting an ya never know what cool things will evolve..thanks for posting..vicki

Will post a close up how to in a couple days.Thanks ALL for the rave reviews! Good to hear since I've made over 100 and my shows don't start till July. Show fees keep going up as well as motel/food expenses, but we always have a great time.(Time for a little out of town junkin as well!)
posted: 9:10 pm on March 5thRe: "Tools"
This is a greater piece of work than most museum art I've seen! Its very harpish/flows an a bit southwest Kocopelli. A much better use for tools than lookin at a flat tire! Love this!

You are sooooo into combinations yea! I'm still thinkin big/small..This did give me a use for some victorian dresser pull knobs to use for ribbon tie up pics..a broading of perspective is GOOD! thanks
