My Next Project

I have several old canvas bank bags that belonged to my grandfather. I'm going to use three of them to make pillows with. One for my mom, one for my aunt and one for myself. I'm leaning towards faded black or blue design and a initial like I've seen chair's done. Maybe, cloth rolled flowers attached instead. I've wanted to make flowers since I first saw them. Oh! I even have some beautiful broaches that would be perfect with the cloth flowers! I'll post the results once I've finished them.
I love the idea of using something that was my families. My mom will be really happy :)

OH! I have handmade dollies and beautiful old buttons to use. I will roll flowers with these for the pillows, too! That way the bags and dollies aren't harmed in any way!
I also found beautiful antique buttons to make rings for all the girls in our family. (Pictures soon)!  I'm REALLY excited to feel my creative side alive again :)
