As always, I continue to dream up new projects or finish ongoing ones! Here are the latest of my thrifty home decor projects. Remember a couple of YEARS ago when I started making crocheted beaded edge blue snowflakes? Finally, here is the finished banner they were intended for.

Last summer I heard about a free sectional couch (yes, from a clean home) being put to a curbside, and it was in good condition.

I aimed to cover many… Continue reading Embroidery, Sequin, and Bead Boho Bag Creations!
