Something Hand Made

This week's Tuesday Tell All idea was to talk about things in your house that are special because they are hand made. They suggested maybe a quilt or something like that. Okay so this blog will now unveil the reasons why I do not fit in with the "RS Crowd". First of all I thought all weekend about what I have in my house that is hand made. I even enlisted the help of my Sister and Mom for ideas. They suggested my scrapbooks, which yes, are hand made, but I have since gone to digital scrapbooking (Mom don't have a heart attack) because it is easier than getting all the mess out. So that idea was out. Then I went through the house to try to find something that was hand made and this is all I could come up with.

One of the things that I like to do is make something out of something else. So my problem was Ashlee's collections of things being out in the open. (We discussed that I think) The solution was a set of school lockers repainted with shelves put in them to house it all while keeping it out of sight. The project... these new lockers. I did these while Ashlee was out of town this last weekend. When she came home her room was re-organized and the lockers were in there. ( I also painted her bathroom). She loves the new lockers but I think her favorite part is slamming them like the kids do at school. I have heard nothing but slamming metal for the past 3 days. (At least I know they are getting used huh?)

Okay so I found something else :) I didn't want to have to share this one but I think it is hilarious. You can see the pics on the scrapbook page but here is the journaling in case you can't read it.

"I got a sewing machine for Christmas of 2006 from Mom and Dad. I had wanted to learn to sew for a long time. This was my first project... except it wasn't supposed to be a bonnet and it wasn't supposed to be for the dogs. I wanted it to be a cute apron but things didn't quite work out that way. Ashlee and Bill died laughing when I was finished. Too bad Sadie and Polly didn't think it was funny. Unfortunately they became the victims of the the sewing project. They were good sports though. "Is that a hint of a smile I see Polly?" Guess Not."

Now you see why I don't do Hand Made!
