Spring {time}...

 

Walking gently ...

 lovely clusters of crocus are popping up underfoot ...

 

 Received my issue of Green Craft Magazine this morning.

Love this magazine & seeing all the creative, re purposed ideas & the the beautiful way in which the magazine encourages & values   items normally discarded.

I have 2 of my "trash to treasure" creations in this issue.

Being sticklers for recycling, if there isn't a spot to toss out recyclables, they come home with us.  I got thinking about the plastic  cone toppers that came with some ice cream we purchased while on vacation knowing they could be turned into "something" :-)

I love anything that has a dome to it, as the height gives you room to fill it with tiny little treasures, which is what I started to do. A small watch face with chain, a  few snippets of lace, and the words "always find time" cut out from discontinued book page were just enough items to fill this tiny vessel.

  I cut a small circular disk, a bit larger than the lid from discontinued anaglypta wallpaper using decorative scissors as a backing.

Once finished, I put it to one side atop of some papers I had sitting on my desk ~ aha ~ a paperweight!

I'll show you the other project later in the week.

Take care of the minutes

and the hours

will take care

of themselves
