I've decided to try my hand and I love to repurpose items so you'll be seeing befores and afters; failures and successes. I hope you enjoy them all.DownTheLaneWithDaisyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593789755756173375noreply@blogger.comBlogger11125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141196472218572270.post-83389043459591734262016-10-03T07:58:00.000-04:002016-10-03T07:58:52.588-04:00It's the beginning of autumn and a hint of coolness is in the air in southern Virginia.....well, barely a hint, but it's there!! Autumn is my favorite season of the year and inspired me to start my blog posting again. I've been away, living life in all its ups and downs. <br />
<br />
The most important note to this blog is that the namesake for this blog, my Daisy, passed over the Rainbow Bridge this spring. I read other people's blogs about losing a pet and I can relate to them. I had the perfect dog, a Cairn Terrier with a social butterfly disposition and a heart of gold. She was truly the perfect dog and we miss her so much. The name of this blog will continue to be Down the lane with Daisy as an homage to this little sweetie.<br />
<br />
On another subject, I understand that many people have switched to Instagram, Twitter, facebook, whatever and have dropped their blogs. I happen to enjoy the blogs and subscribe to many, many of them. Please subscribe to mine and I'll be posting more often with projects and ideas I've had. <br />
<br />
Take care, EileenDownTheLaneWithDaisyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593789755756173375noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141196472218572270.post-63561732778844898312013-10-07T17:55:00.002-04:002013-10-08T14:33:54.058-04:00I won a Stencil!!!I'm a customer of <a href="http://maisondestencils.com/" target="_blank">maisondestencils.com</a> and I follow her blog so I recently entered her drawing for a free stencil. Imagine my joy when she emailed that I had won. I love, love, love their designs and have made good use from the ones I purchased from her. I picked the french stencil with the lettering, Royal Regatta at the top. Go to her website and check it out the great sale going on at <a href="http://maisondestencils.com/" target="_blank">maisondestencils.com</a> Thank you so much.<br />
<br />
The beautiful part of these stencils is that you can use part or all of them. This is the top part, Royal Regatta that I just stenciled onto a tote bag. Fun!!<br />

This needs to be corrected as I've been busy with some fun things and want to share them. After I emailed these photos to Carol from thepolkadotcloset.blogspot.com, she suggested that I post this latest project so here it is.<br />
<br />
I, (and I'm sure you will understand this) collected a lot of what my siblings felt were odd ball items when my father passed away, but what I recognized as treasures. I collected all my father's oil cans and have had them stored until recently where they resided on my library shelf. My brother suggested that they might look good in a basket I had just purchased. Well, they didn't make it into a basket as they stand like little jewels on their own....at least my opinion. I had so much fun transforming these. First step, WASH THEM! These were well used in their previous lives!!<br />

Come with me and attend the prestigious Dress Form Ball at thepolkadotcloset.blogspot.com. My dress form, Lady Jane, is dressed out in all her finery which is actually my finery. It's my wedding dress and it's so pretty on her. I've added rhinestones and, of course she has her gloves, hat and jewelry around her lovely neck. This is an exciting event and Carol has gone all out for her guests. This is her second annual event and Lady Jane is so excited to be there. Check out Carol's blog.DownTheLaneWithDaisyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593789755756173375noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141196472218572270.post-31653296100737584272012-10-05T12:55:00.000-04:002012-10-05T12:55:07.007-04:00I'm a Winner!!!!!!One of the fun things about blogging is finding great blogs, being inspired by some out of this world creative bloggers, and entering drawings for free things. Well, I visited one of my top favorite blogs, Knickoftimeinteriors.blogspot.com. Angie's blog is helpful, fun and interesting. I signed up to automatically receive her posts because I like her so much.<br />
<br />
I entered her drawing for a free candle from GooseCreekCandle.com and I WON!!!! I was thrilled. This candle is impressive, both in size, appearance and fragrance. I received mulled cider and is it ever yummy! I had thought that if I won this candle, it would smell as if I was baking, but without the calories. I was right!! It's a wonderful fall fragrance. I can also reuse the container when I'm finished, although it looks as if this candle will last a long time!! <br />

I'm back after a long absence. Nothing serious, just Busy, busy!! Work on our house is progressing. At some point, I'll post photos. In the meantime, after a little conversation with one of my favorite, creative bloggers, Carol of thepolkadotcloset.com, I decided to work on a picnic basket and make it french chic!!! </div>

Does this happen to you? When I am looking for something as I yard/garage/tag sale, it just pops up. That's what happened with this basket. I spoke with Carol and found this basket two days later. It's in such beautiful condition so all I did was paint the lid, transfer a beautiful design from The Graphics Fairy, and decoupage copied sheet music on the inside. Very quick and easy!!! </div>

Time has certainly passed while hubby and I work on our house. I'll post progress photos at a later date. My project today is the transformation of a little girl's sundress into a big girl's apron. I picked up three pretty dresses at a tag sale and worked on this one since I don't know any little girl this size who could wear it. <br />

I moved a little flower from the dress front and pinned it to the pocket. Sorry the flower doesn't show better. (My camera battery is now dead.) Lady Jane, my new dress form, is modeling. The new apron didn't fit Daisy properly for a photo shoot, haha, and I was holding the camera. It does fit me perfectly.<br />

I've been away from the blog for some time. Our house is developing nicely and I'll be showing some progress photos. This is a project that I loved because it falls into the "repurposing" category so nicely. I used almost every scrap of fabric from this little girl's dress I picked up at a tag sale. I picked up three, but finished one. More transformations at a later date.DownTheLaneWithDaisyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593789755756173375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141196472218572270.post-24554236227401610492011-05-31T21:40:00.000-04:002011-05-31T21:40:05.675-04:00Yes, the laws of attraction work!!I've been a big fan of <a href="http://missmustardseed.blogspot.com/">missmustardseed.blogspot.com</a> for months. Yes, join the crowd, I know. She's such a talented woman with loads of energy. I read her blog and think, "I need to take a nap!!"<br />
<br />
I saw her dining room set on her blog and fell in love with it instantly. It became part of my screensaver, I read her blog about it, and dreamed about it as an inspiration for me to become brave enough to redo a set when I found a bargain. I hemmed and hawed about picking up a dining room set (with two broken chairs), my husband supported me, but I held back and told the shop owner I would let her know the next day. It didn't feel right and was an enormous project. <br />
<br />
Three hours later, I was home, checked Miss Mustard Seed's blog and she had just announced she decided to sell her beautiful table and chairs!!! Oh, the joy, the excitement!! After emailing her AND being the first to contact her, they were mine!! Sometimes, things were meant to be!!!!<br />
<br />
We picked them up at the Luckett's Fair. What an event!! Make plans to go next year and visit her booth. Beautiful stuff!! <br />

I ran across a book of fabric samples I had in storage, all in luscious shades of pink. We've had stuff in storage for about 8 years while moving from New York to Virginia. When we finally unpack everything, it will be Christmas time, believe me!!! (I am a confirmed fabricholic, aka fabric junky and I have enough fabric to cover couches from here back to New York.)<br />
<br />
I laid out the samples and started sewing. I had coordinating fabric for the two bands around the outside to make it larger. I bought cotton batting, at which point I realized it was 74"x 57", between a throw, 60"x60", and a twin, 93"x72". Next time I'll start with the batting size I want and try to finish the top to match to make it more uniform. <br />
<br />
I am posting photos, but need to finish tying the corners. You will notice little Daisy, who managed to plant herself right in the middle. Of course, I let her.<br />

I love to repurpose things and am always thinking, "What else can that be?" I'm new at this so I hope I can download the "lamp whimsey" I finished at 11:30pm. Yes, I ended up with a big mess in the kitchen, but love the results. I started with an old lamp, the kind we all see at tag sales, brass with the three arms for the bulbs and the top fixture. I took out the electrical parts and sprayed it with offwhite paint. I used gorilla glue to affix my cups, saucers, and pitchers to the arms and planted them with sweet potato vine, impatiens, trailing vinca, etc. It will look better as it grows. Please notice the hanging teacups on each side; they were too shallow to plant so I put grass and a nest in each one and all they need is a little bird!! Please bear with the pictures; I'm still learning how to post these pictures and so they are a little "askew", so to speak.<br />
