What Great Ideas!!!

Hi Gang!!

I wanted to share a few GREAT IDEAS with you related to..... PLASTIC!!!

Have you ever seen or used the adhesive placemats?  They are more common with babies.... to use in restaurants on the high chair or table!   These are perfect to have around the house and to use when you are working on different projects.... using glue?  Painting?  Clay? ... anything that may make a nasty mess on your work surface... Use one or two... how ever many you need to cover your work surface...then simply peel away and toss when you are finished! 

Do you have wee ones at home that like to color, use water color paint, colored pencils or markers... these are PERFECT!  No more worry about the mess on the table.

Here is my other plastic "love".... simple plastic shower caps.  OH MY GOSH... I use these for everything...   I cover bowls of food that go in the refrigerator.... when I cut my wool strips for my rug hooking, I put all of my wool strips down inside... it captures all of the "wool fuzz" in the bottom!   Sorters... yes I use them to sort items .... thread, floss, fabric strips... on and on!!!  Get yourself a package of them... then think of all the things you do daily.... how you can use them.  You will thank me.... I just know it!

There... you have it... two new ideas to use in your home and in your sewing studio!  

I'm thinking of blogging about how to design your sewing studio with fun new looks.... how to take an item that is normally used in the home... and using that same item in your sewing studio and change the entire dynamics of it's use.  Does that sound interesting?    Of course... my first love is the "Farmhouse" look!   I think I may start there.... with the galvanized look.....  

Stay tuned!

Gloria

There's a "gremlin" around here.....

Oh yes.... he's a crazy "gremlin".... he seems to send you all old posts from our blog!!!!

Who are you????    So sorry for the old blog posting....  I'll try to find this little fellow and tell him to

GET OUT OF TOWN!!

We Have an Opening for the Black Stallion Retreat!

Are you ready to relax, enjoy the fresh air, play in the pool, walk on the beach, eat scrumptious food, shop and site see, stitch with Lisa, sip your morning coffee on the balcony of your room overlooking the beautifully groomed landscape in this country club....?    We've found the perfect place for you!!

If you were on 'the fence' about attending our Black Stallion Outer Banks Retreat with Lisa Bongean - Primitive Gatherings... you are in luck.





We have a room that has opened up for double occupancy (king bed)!  Oh yes... this is a retreat you will remember forever...!

We have filled this gorgeous house full of gals that love to Wool Applique Stitch!

Lisa has a fall theme this retreat and I've seen the sketches of what's she's getting ready for you and I'm here to shout... you are gonna love it!  along with her teaching the main classes, Vicky, Heather and I will be working with you on some "make-it-take-it" items that compliment Lisa's designs!

This house is gorgeous... all 20,000 + sq. feet of it!  You will love it tooo... our menu is such fun this retreat...  We will be utilizing that wonderful barbecue area along with the HUGE pool and pool house.

If you've never been to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.... you MUST VISIT.  We may even see some wild horses roaming the beaches.  It is amazing to see them and then to realize... they belong to no one... they eat and exist off the land.  So Cool.  If you can't stand it any longer and you want to come.... go to Olde Green Cupboard Website - Look for Black Stallion Retreat on the right side of the screen and GET SIGNED UP!
