Upcycled Art: Fabric Canvas
I tried to make a quilt once, the remnants of my efforts are still stuffed in the back of my closet under a pile of clothes I keep for, “just in case” reasons. This is the coolest “quilting” idea ever – I could use up some of the old fabrics I have laying about, or upcycle that baby quilt i tried to make into a piece of art perfect for the nursery.

Ironing Board TV Tray
Most things in my world are line dried and when necessary, 10-minutes-in-the-dryer kind of things.
But, for whatever reason I love to iron cloth napkins -love it.
So for me this is perfect! Found it on a quilters blog, texasfreckles, so you know she knows a little something about ironing!

Upcycled Garden: Rosewater; Epic Fail.
I tried whipping up a batch of rose water using an enamel pot as a homemade still, boiling water, a brick and of course; a bowl of rose petals. EPIC FAIL. It stunk up my house; something akin to asparagus.
