JANUARY 21 Plastic Canvas



Haven’t made a plastic canvas project since before Curtis was born! 
So I embark on a Valentine House Boutique Tissue Box Cover:  Trying a plastic canvas project for the first time in about 8 years!

I marked it off with Sharpie and then used napkins and alcohol to remove the ink…guess I missed a spot…my eaves have black ink on them:Got black sharpie ink in my eaves - will have to rip and restitch it I guess


Guess I’ll have to removed that part and stitch it again with some clean yarn.  

Went to ebay to try to find something to share with this world that’s been sharing with me…

funny how LITTLE things caught my eye. 
Here’s what I ordered: 

They could be used in greeting cards and scrapbook pages too….so…little is good- the tissue house ‘feels’ big…but I’ve made bigger in a different life…guess a working girls crafting ambitions are different than a stay at home moms!!

and then…just cuz I always thought it was pretty and never had a clear copy I got this:

but….this one is on 10count canvas with sport weight yarn…can’t see me buying a whole new batch of yarn and have the leftovers laying around…we’ll see…it is pretty and the shipping on this particular one was free.   

What I really really want is a garage for Johnny’s Chuck Trucks tho…haven’t seen one anywhere. 

The Boys with Chuck Trucks

Was thinking of using this idea and revamping it to be a garage for Chuck and Friends – I think just leave the school bell tower and sign off and it would be a garage…least to a 2 (gonna be 3 in May) year old
P.P.FRONT COVER

I coulda swore I had photos of Summer with the Barbie Camper and accessories I stitched when she was little…but after looking I think maybe I have all the old Christmas's on VHS…guess I better get to work on converting those suckers to computer data before they get wrecked!
