Born-Again Vintage

I found another book that I really want, anther one for the Christmas wish list ~ Born-Again Vintage by Bridgett Artise + Jen Karetnik: 25 ways to deconstruct, reinvent + recycle your wardrobe.
A friend mentioned this book, Re-Bound by Jeannine Stein, to me and from what I can see online this book seems to have some interesting projects in it. I am excited to actually get my hands on a copy of this book. It is definitely going on my wish list for Christmas, although I am hoping to be able to find it used. Did you know Christmas is only 84 days away? I have a lot to do before than…ok now I am distressed, am I going to get all my Christmas projects done?

Make a Handbag out of a Recycled Book
As I was browsing the internet last night I found a few blogs that featured books that have been turned into purses. I am not sure I love the idea but at most it is interesting. You could use an old book of your own or your child's to make a purse out of, which could be a sentimental keepsake.

8 Things I Really Want
So we all want something, right? I mean even the most selfless person wants something, even if they don't strive to get it, they still want it. Fair to say? Well I have some things I want, some I will get and some I wont and who knows, some that I may be surprised that I get. I have been surprised in the past.

I Finally Received My Books
I guess there was a mix up. I had ordered the books from Amazon and under our accounts we had two credit cards so I apparently clicked the one that was expired so my order was cancelled. I had to redo the whole order and when I went to order the books I ordered before I found another book that I thought would be more my style and decided I wouldn't get the Pillowcase book.

Two New Books
I am so excited! I just ordered two new books. Im almost as bad as my husband, who has new books arriving every week. I guess not as bad but I just went for it and ordered two sewing books. Ones that I am sure I will get a lot of use out of. I can't wait to receive them!
