Friends on Friday...Lots of Inspiration

I love when friends share their project pictures with me. Whether it be a picture of a project they've tried from one of my posts or a wonderful project of their own...Friends on Friday is where I like to share them.

If you have a project you'd like to send me, I'll share it on Fridays. Just to make the process a little easier...if you send me a picture to share on my blog, that automatically gives me permission to use the picture on my blog, with a link back to you and your blog of course. The automatic permission just eliminates emailing back and forth for permission. Thanks so much for understanding!

Now onto some great projects and a pattern request at the end.

The first idea comes from Lissa from the blog Northern Nest. Click Here to go to her post. She saves the bags that onions come in and uses them for the best idea EVER...



She makes pot scrubbers with them. I am so mad at myself for throwing all those bags away. Thanks Lissa for sharing this great project. Definitely on my "To Do" list!



Next project is from Cindy at Bumblebee and Sophie. Click Here for the link to this project. Cindy is a girl after my own recycling heart...and Mod Podge too. Love it!


Aren't these the cutest darn containers ever!


Next is Jen's project. Jen's wonderful blog is Chase-ing The Dream and you can click Here to go to this post. Jen used my metal stamping post, but she went one step further and used the washers for the best idea. She put them on her boys' soccer bags to tell them apart and they make great zipper pulls too! Thanks so much Jen for sharing, I love them on the bags!



This project is from CeLynn from The Sunflower Patch blog...click Here for her post. She used my tutorial for the pvc pipe knitting needle holder, but boy are hers cute. She covered them in fabric and used my favorite thing...Mod Podge! These are adorable! Thanks CeLynn.



Now for a pattern request.

These 2 pictures were sent to me from Karla. She doesn't have a blog, so I thought I would post these picture here for her.

These pictures are of her "joy bottle" Easter Bunny Lady. Karla's grandmother made this little cutie for her daughter 34 years ago. Each morning the children could pick an egg out of the bottom of the skirt and have the treat inside!
s
Karla was wondering if I have ever seen this pattern or knew where to get one.
If anyone has any info on the Bunny pattern, you can either email me directly or leave a comment on this post.




Thanks to all the wonderful ladies who shared their projects today! Go over and visit their blogs for more great ideas.

    That's a great idea of Lissa's. Years ago, when I was a Sunday School teacher, I used to save the onion bags for one particular lesson. It was the 'Fishers of Men' story in the bible. I would tell the children the story of when Jesus taught the disciples to become 'Fishers of men" and then I would give each of the children a colourful onion bag and ask them to fill it with cut out 'men' or 'women' to bring back the next week. The occupation always went down well with the children and they loved bringing in their bag the next week full of little men.

    Thanks for this great post. If you're lazy to do your own recycling yourself, then find a recycling kiosk near you. Check out this video I found on YouTube from the GreenopolisTV channel to find out how. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngIGru_nRNk

    Love the bunny! Seems it would be easy to make......long dress deeply hemmed (backwards) and a foam ball for the head? Too cute!

    Cute & fun looking ideas. Thanks for sharing. I'm thinking about trying a project similar to the peanut cannisters, but using plastic coffee cans.

    You can say "Cindy and Sophie Bumblebee" it is generally easy to remove labels: just take a hair dryer and direct hot air toward the label and is easily raised.
