WOE IS ME!!

I jinxed myself when I said awhile ago that I haven't been sick in a long time~~Well, the Dr. told me this morning that I have a sinus and upper respiratory infection!! Needless to say I have been feeling pretty darn LOUSY!*%$& The only consolation is I have been getting some crafting done while I'm supposed to be "resting". Does anyone recognize this little cutie?!?
This little darlin' happens to be the mother of Anne from Fiona & Twig!! She was generous enough to share this sweet image with us and I knew I wanted to use it in one of my projects as soon as I saw it!!
So I made a collage in an old drawer~~
great old vintage crusty-kinda rusty handle!

Used the pages from an old school reader, added some coffee-dyed lace, an old baby spoon and pair of shoes.



These lovely gals adorn an old platter.


I found this vintage embroidery hoop and did a collage with a lovely old photo. I've been trying to keep busy without actually "working" since my ambition would fill a thimble!! Did you ever notice how dirty your house looks when you're sick?!? I guess the dust bunnies will have to wait!!
