Scrap Buster Napkins...

Scrappy Napkins





So Lately I have been going through my bin of small scraps and using trying to use them up.  This project is great, it has allowed me to use up a large amount of small scraps and also to stop using paper napkins at  the dinner table.  This pile shown on the left is by no means the extent of the napkins I have made as I type their are another 3 napkins sitting on my WIP pile waiting to be turned right-side out and top stitched.




As you can see they are just scrap pieces of fabric pieced together and then sew together, good sides matching, turned right side out and then top stitched to close the hole used to turn the napkin. The size is between 8 and 9 inches square

Hello Again and the Organizing Challenge

Hello Again Everyone It has been a long time since I have taken the time to share my Craftyness with you.  This is not because I have not been crafty but more because I have gotten busy and probably a little lazy also my place is kinda messy and often I feel some tidying needs to be done before I can take pictures to show and then well .... It just kinda falls by the way side. I have decided I am going to try to ease back into doing more crafting and more blogging, and the way I have decided to do this is by taking part in an organizing challenge on one of my favorite Thrifty blogs,  Mrs January.com . and I will try my best to share my results with you here on my blog. I have decided to share this here as one of the biggest obstacle I have when wanting to be crafty is not having an organized and tidy home, to be crafty in, so my hope is that by the end of June I will have a more pleasant place to be crafty and continue to share my craftiness with you.
