Get Creative!!!

That sounds wonderful and I do remember the 'newsie' hats, which are still kind of popular here. The style hat is referred to around this area as newsie, or newsboy, as it is reminiscent of the hats worn by those news boys from the old days. So I suppose it is a fashion trend that came back only this time for girls instead of boys. When we make something from nothing it not usually with clothes, I had this really great sturdy table, but some how in the move the legs got broken, I didn't get rid of the table top and for a while I would put it on a box when my niece was on the floor coloring for a table for her. But I used it to make a table for the computer monitor, and it has worked out well. I had taken old milk crates and made shelves for videos out of them. When I was younger the 2 liter soda bottle had the rounded bottom, and it had this black plastic cover over it. My Grandmother taught me out to make decorations out of them, you pull the black part off, cut near where the top of the bottle rounds out, and tapers off in a straight line, use a square of styrofoam, green preferably, and you can use anything you have around the house, to attach could be old figurine or plastic / silk flowers, attach to styrofoam glue, the styrofoam to the bottom of the black section from the soda bottle, and then turn the now washed out soda bottle that you cut upside down, it is kind like a giant snow globe with out the water and snow part. It was a cheap way for my grandmother to give us something to do, and get rid of old nick nacks gathering dust around the house or even old dolls that were small enough. I had a set of sheets that I never really used, I didn't like the way they felt, I cut off a strip then cut the large piece in half, made a hem around the edges of the sheet so it would all be in a neat line, and then with the strip I made blocks that would loop and sewed them spaced apart to sections of the two panels I had, they made nice Block style curtains, and since I didn't like the feel of the sheets and wasn't going to use them seemed a good way to get a nice set of curtains I liked how it came out and the small bedroom only had one window so it worked out well. Since I did like how it came out I cut off the elastic edging of the matching fitted sheet and then made smaller version of the curtains for the bathroom window. Since the sheets were a kind of aqua blue the bedroom was painted a very pale blue and the shower curtain and towels in bathroom were blue it worked out well.

I made a dolls house for my daughter when she was little. I used old scraps of carpets and clothes for the curtains and it had a big cardboard roof. I had made it in the garage then when we came to bring it in it would not fit through the door! We had to bring it in via the french windows. She had hours of play with it. In fact as I remember our son joined in too sometimes probably with his cars or soldiers though.

You seem to be a clever girl :) .. and yes I'm creative too:) I do things out of nothing all of the time, for fun and to make them happy; I make children toys from peaces of wood, I make copper and plastic jewelry for little girls so I'm very popular in the family :) I like fixing things and crafts, etc improvising and matching spare parts for all kinds of appliances, fixing electricity, plumping, etc

i once made a pen shack using a 5 floppy diskettes.I use it to keep my pens and other small things. I'm now planning to make shelves with left over wood at my place.My mother kinda needs them.
