Spring Cleaning (Part 1)

It's that time of the year for spring cleaning! ...again....
It is taking longer than usual because first, I've got spine problems and second, a lot of distraction.

Got rid of a desk and small shelf but the drawers were still in good condition so decided to re-use them again. One thing led to another, which led to some delay in the spring cleaning program but I still like how the drawers came out.

Before the change ......


This was from the desk drawer and it is a little smaller than those from the shelf. Used remnants and scrap fabrics to cover the box. Then made a flower from fabric and lace scraps and finally glued on a little bear which my daughters had outgrown. Using this to hold newspapers.


I like to collect pretty images of vintage ladies (in my Pinterest "Printing Ideas" board) so I decided to use some of the pictures for the 2 drawers as well as on my storage containers (old plastic biscuits and snacks containers with lids)  These are used for my craft stuff.




Our spring cleaning program is still underway - just because I got side tracked but can't be helped, I've found some more old containers and baskets which need to have a makeover first.  And so, it continues ..... :)
