Vintage Dishtowel Pillow

When the snow starts swirling around outside, my sewing matching starts calling, "come play with me!" So play, I did. I had a stack of vintage dishtowels with lovely stripes down the side, (remember in a past post my son bought them and was going to use them for oil rags in the shop. NO!).

While the snow whirled, so did my sewing machine. Two wonderful towels became a pillow.

The vintage dishtowels had loops on the ends, so I used a burlap ribbon and tied them together.


Two blue and yellow striped vintage dish towels have been recycled, upcycled, and remade into a comfy pillow.

Have a blessed week,
Ele

Recipe Book

Even Dick and Jane had to eat!
Early reader pages were altered, upcycled, recycled, (whatever lingo you choose) into recipe card books.

 
This is my favorite, with Dick trying to feed the duck some type of food, and Spot and kitten watching patiently. Trying to convince the duck to eat, I plastered a big "Yum" on the front of this recipe book.

Inside are individual recipe cards. Ready to be filled. Maybe little duck would like your cooking better?


Dick and Jane:)
Blessings,
Ele
