Grandmothers Old Crochet dolly~~

Grandmothers Old Crochet dolly~~Granny would starch these sweet crochet pieces so stiff---all her doilies would be set in a heavy blue starch over night--then set out in the sun to stiffen. These old things holds some great memories --you thought forgotten until it is sat in front of you Then feeling the treasure brings back days long forgotten in the mind~

Mason Jar Lid~~~ pin cushion

Mason Jar Lid~~~ pin cushion-- sharing a Lil Creative Juice~ using a big mouth mason jar lid. glue lid and top together- add kitty litter to a baggie -- just enough to flatten in lid--- glue in side the lid-- this will give the pin cushion some weight--- cut a square of fabric (your choice)- -creating a ball in your hand the size of the jar lid - I used batting--cover the ball with the fabric-- hot glue fabric to ball at the bottom-this will create a round ball for the pin cushion--- hot glue to rim of jar lid--stuff the ball of covered fabric in the jar lid--cover bottom of lid bringing the fabric up over the ball and hot glue--will look messy at this point BUT wait it gets better----- ---I used a doily to cover the complete top hot glued in place--- -Now you are ready for some vintage trims of your choice---My pretty Mason Jar Lid Pin cushion~~smile~
