Curvy Christmas Trees...

On my work table today are

Curvy Christmas Trees... 

They just need to be stuffed...

I mounted them on wooden spools...

I might wrap some jute around the

dowels to finish them off ?

They would look great lined up on a mantel

or in a window.

Ric Rac Zip Bags...

I have been collecting JUMBO Ric Rac... 

It is time to put it to good use...

I pieced together a couple of fabrics

for zipper bags...

This red jumbo Ric Rac works

nicely on this zipper bag...

I used the leftover red zipper as a handle

and added a lady bug zipper pull...

I lined the bag with green bubble fabric...

I pawed through the fabric cupboard and found

small odds and ends for more bags...

These fabrics and ric rac work well together

and I added an orange mushroom zipper pull...

I squared off the bottom so the bag

stands on its own...

It is good to use up the bits and pieces

of fabrics and the ric rac...

Now there are two !

I have made several more, just need to

snap a few more photos to share with you...

More To Come !

The flower beds are all cleaned out

and put away for the winter months...

Happy Autumn !
