My desk is the same as last week...empty. I have had NO DESIRE or INTEREST in entering any Challenges or no need for personal cards for a while. Had 2 rather mind disgusting happenings so best I take a break. But I have kept busy, making Pickles and working with Zucchni from our garden and enjoying our wonderful 70 degree weather. We need rain bad to keep our farm crops at peak production.
Tag sales rendered me some items (50 cents each) I plan to work with as fabric projects next week:
All different fabrics, corduroy, denim, searsucker, velvet, taffta, organza. Will keep you posted on the items I create from these little goodies.
My husband bought 2 rusty old trikes at our friends farm sale for $2. And guess what he already has them refurbished. He has more energy than the Energizer Bunny in getting things done.
Wants to find little hand grips for this one. Amazing considering it was all pieces.
I think they are totally adorable. Well thanks for stopping by, hope to visit most all of you this week. Now I'm off to the chiro for a neck, shoulder, and back adjustment. I think it's stress!!! But best I do it early on, before I can't get out of my chair or turn my head. Enjoy the week and Do all that you love.

Oh WOW! I can't believe the transformation in those cute little trikes. Do you hire your hubby out honey? Hope you soon get back to crafting - sometimes knocks do take us down but, all keen crafters pull their big girl pants on and get going again! Di xx
Oh my goodness, your husband did a great job. Awesome! I'm wondering what you will be making with the material? Have fun when you get started. Happy WOYWW!
Oh Sylvia they are simply bee-you-tea-ful! the bottom one looks a little like mine 'cept it was cream and red - how vintage is that!
I am going to pray you get some rain and happy WOYWW! Shaz in oz.x

Blimey, does your husband have a magic wand?? Those trikes are amazing!!! How wonderful to be able to transform something that looks fit for the dump into an item that any child would love :D What miracles are you going to transform with the material?? xx

You have a very talented and enthusiastic hubby ...cant believe what he did with those rusty old bikes.Wish i could send you some of our rain.
I'm having a quick trip round the WOYWWers before I start on my next batch of little African dresses. It's good to see what you're busy with this week.

What a fab job on the trikes - they'll last another couple of generations now. Am sorry you need attention from the chiro...maybe she'll adjust your mojo too - although a break from a hobby is always good.
WOW great job that hubby did on those trikes. I love the all metal toys as they were meant to be around awhile! Interesting fabric bits you found. Look forward to seeing what become of them. Have a great week. Thanks for sharing. Vickie

Wow Sylvia, your hubby is brilliant! Who would have thought that heap of rusty junk could be turned into something so lovely? Both trikes look like new! That has to be one of the best $2 anyone ever spent, I should think, and both will give so much pleasure to someone!! I've just shown my hubby and he was very impressed.
