I didn't post last week because I had company. This is the second time my daughter and son-in-law have abandon ship because of hurricanes. We are all fine and survived with minimal damage but my daughter and I always have a great time together! I try hard to keep our minds busy! On our walks along the beach during our holiday we found beautiful drift wood. I've always wanted to create pretty sail boats with drift wood and what better way to sail into Fall! Enjoy our creations...
Everything you see is repurposed, driftwood, a tea towel with the embroidered "D", a curtain from Goodwill with blue seersucker stripe material, pumpkins made out of the same with shell stems. This will be another year to talk about especially for those who lost more than the minimal. For everyone, I pray and I hope you will rebuild and will soon return to your normalcy if that is possible. In my hard times I turn to creating and being with the ones I love. This is why I created my blog and I hope you smile and continue to stay positive.
Love your sweet sail boats!
ReplyDeleteSecond time my daughter had to evacuate too. Last year she went to Tampa, this year she came home to Atlanta.
DeleteThank you for sharing your sail boats at Snickerdoodle.
DeleteDeb it's bad your daughter had to evacuate for sure, but on the up side it's great you got to spend time together, l'm so glad there was little damage to her world but as you say not everyone had that experience so yes definitely sending prayers and good wishes to them, love how you kept occupied during her stay and what lovely little creations to remember her visit by.... they made made ME smile 😁😘😁
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute and a great way to use those favorite fabric leftovers!
ReplyDeleteHi Debby..
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from IG again. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter and SIL having to evacuate but it's lovely that you get some girl time. It is hard to watch all of those poor people struggling. How lovely that your sweet blog offers some beauty and creativity to lift spirits up! Your little boats are so very cute and creative. Best wishes to your daughter and SIL for a safe home and safe return home.
Hugs,
Tamara (the shabbi gypsy) :)
So cute with the drift wood, clever also to use shells for the stem of pumpkin.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing on Oh My Heartsie Girls WW this week!
Have a great week!
Debbie, these are so fun! Thanks for sharing @Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteSo cute Debby, I gathered driftwood about 3 years ago to make sail boats and have never gotten around to doing it. I love how you incorporated them into your fall décor. The sea shell stemmed pumpkin is so sweet. Glad that everyone is okay. There have been so many devastating things going on this year! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
