Happy Sunday, Everyone.
For the past year, I’ve been a little slow updating my blog with new patterns in crochet and diy crafts. I’m still busy designing but not as fast as I had been in the past.
I’ve had a lot going on with my health - surgery, tests and procedures. I’m still waiting to undergo, yet another biopsy and two more repeat tests before I finally get a confirmation of my diagnosis. It’s truly been a rough year.
Hopefully, soon, in the coming months, I will be flooding my blog with all the new pattern designs.
Warmest wishes,
Rilla
I love being able to up cycle or recycle or whatever you want to call it, especially Mason jars.
For this project, I used two napkins from McDonald’s and mod podge to the jar. I then used Apple Barrel acrylic paint in Nutmeg Brown and painted over the napkins.
Once it was dried, I placed styrofoam inside the jar with purple Easter moss. I used purple ribbon and a “cherish” decor items from the Dollar Tree.
I added two bouquets of African violets (freebie from Temu). I think it turned out gorgeous.

Quilting is such a fun hobby to learn. I started quilting about 20+ years ago. I let it lay by the wayside for years while I stayed busy in crocheting and crafting.
But, since I’ve found Temu and noticed they sale pre-cut squares, it has made me want to quilt again. They offer a wide variety of different square sizes. I absolutely love the 10” square size.
On this patchwork quilt, I’m rotating the rows between pink and blue.
How cute is this?
Happy Quilting!!!!
Repurpose Tissue Box
I decided to repurpose this tissue box into a storage container.
First, I used popsicle sticks glued completely around all 4 sides to add sturdiness. I painted it several colors before setting on the final color(s).
Second, I used 2 pieces of jute rope braided and made handles for each side. Repeat for second side.
Third, I added a cute “saying” with a glue backing to the center of one side. I then took 5 pieces of pink ribbon, zip tied the center, glued a button on top and then glued the whole piece over the saying.
Last, I glued beaded rope beads around the bottom and top just to add a little bling to my project.
Everything for this project came from the Dollar Tree.
Happy Craftng…
