Grandmother's Gift

I found this lovely gift idea on pinterest, but it was just a photo, and no link to a blog, so I'm sorry I can't post my source. 

(If it's you, please let me know, and I'd be happy to link it up!) 

I decided to change it up a bit.

 

Here's what I used for my own version...

-a picture frame
-clothespins
-hot glue gun/glue
-ribbon, buttons, any type of decorations for your clothespins
-word printout of Grandkids Make Life Grand

Decorate clothespins in any style you want, and then hot glue the clothespins to the frame.  My mom has 10 grandchildren, so I put the clothespins around the frame symmetrically.  (And there's room to add more, if the time comes!)  Photos can be changed as often as you'd like.

So pretty!

And a quick shout out to my mom-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Ruffle Canvas Tote

Isn't this cute? 

I have to give credit to Heidi over at sew.craft.create. Found via pinterest, of course.  ;)

I've really been into ruffles these days, but can you blame me?  They make a plain ol' canvas tote into a cute, shabby chic bag.
