A few projects

 Someone recently asked if I could make a beach glass bag. I wasn't exactly sure what she meant but when I asked she said it was a bag to collect shells or beach glass. I said I would give it a try.


I also made another reading pillow. I had leftover fabric from the blue and white striped bag I made and used it for this pairing it with a cute dog print fabric for the pocket.

The final project was a Dollar Tree craft. This uses two wood pieces from Dollar Tree. One wood plank and a mini wood palette. First I painted both pieces white, then I went over it with an antique wax.


 I didn't like the look so I covered the plank with a piece of burlap and the palette with piece of scrap fabric. This still needs a hanger on the back and I'm not happy with the flowers that I tucked into the palette but other than that, it's pretty much done. Aside from different flowers, I think it needs something else too but I'm just not sure what.

  13. That's an interesting bag for collecting things on the beach. Love the reading pillow too. I think that wall hanging would look nice on a wall. Hope you are having a nice Sunday.
