Rainy Daze: Birds Nest Teapots

Rainy Daze: Birds Nest Teapots: I have a rather large collection of vintage linen 'calendar tea towels'.  They are always showing up in one place or another around my home....

So, I collect calendar towels...lots of calendar towels.

I generally use them for seasonal table display.   The large stack of tucked away linens wait to be rotated in.  I have so many that (even the ones from the late 60's) the faded ones have been lovingly used and abused drying our dishes and the ones I stashed away are now out becoming Home Decor.

After a little pinspiration, I put my sewing skills and vast project room into full gear. ...this is fun and while I plan to list these and more on Etsy I may change my mind a keep a few.

Each one has an external, colorful zipper and some have stenciled messages...

Enjoy this nostalgic peek :)

Is it SPRING yet?  The yard beckons!  Not that drinking all that wine was a chore!

Rainy Daze: Man's Shirt, now my skirt!: Recently, I got inspired by a few PINS of skirts people were making from men's shirts and came up with my own cute rendition.
