So this is the view from my back deck on Saturday morning.  More snow!  This is the 3rd snowstorm to hit VA this winter. Craziness I tell ya!

And, of course because we aren’t use to getting this much snow around here, EVERYTHING pretty much shuts down and we are stuck at home.

So what does one do when stuck in the house for DAYS!?

We make things we’ve been meaning to try but just haven’t had (made) the time for!

I made this scarf from two thrifted t-shirts I picked up for $1.00 each.  I attended a workshop over the summer doing reverse applique and then I found this tutorial over at Joy Beadworks. I love being thrify and I also love doing embroidery!  It turned out really cute.

Then I played with synthetic fabric and a flame to create this adorable flower pin.  I came across this tutorial at Transient Expression and had to give it a try!  I used a vintage clip on earring for the center.  The polyester fabric is a sheer drapery panel I picked up at the thrift store.  I think it came out really GREAT!  I WILL be making more!

Gee, who knew being stuck inside for a couple days could be so productive! Hmmmm…..maybe it should snow more often?!  Ummmmm….I don’t know if I could handle that.

I hope you are having fun creating too!

Have a blessed day!
