Drawer Baskets / Mini Tutorial

I have done some baskets for my drawer and some articles for my haberdashery shop.
For the baskets you need some brown canvas, fabric (one color or a very small pattern), Tacky Glue, scissors and a toothpick
- cut your canvas in little pieces and check the size of your drawers
- fold some baskets
- do a little cut in each corners and glue the baskets together (with a toothpick)
- cut some fabric strips (one for each basket)
- iron a hem (see photo)
- glue the strips into the basket (start at the backside of your basket)
- cut a little piece of fabric and glue it into your basket (base)
- if you want you can glue a little ribbon on your baskets

Hug,
Sonja

free printable children books - August 2012

Here is the August link for Tinekes free children books:

and this is the link for the old books:

http://members.tele2.nl/houdekerk/Leeskamer/Miniatuur_Boekenkast_files/Aug-oud.pdf

I am not sure if Tineke has a website or a blog. I am a member of a Dutch onlineminiclub.

So I open the website of our club:

http://onlineminiclub.punt.nl/

and than I click on the left side “Tineke’s Leeskamer”


Please download the books directly. Every month she changes the links.

Enjoy,
Have a great day,
Sonja

Fabric Swap

Here is a photo of my fabric swap. The fabric swap is for my Dutch Onlineminiclub. The fabric is 10 x 10 cm. I send also a printie for a French paper banner. I hope the girls like my fabric (I love blue).
Have a great day,
Sonja

Balls of Wool

I have finished my balls of wool (148 pieces) for my cabinet. For the balls I used some drinking straws, darning cotton and a lot of time. I have done it in the hospital and at home.
Enjoy!

Thank you

I was in tears after reading all the lovely recovery wishes!!! Thank you!
The next weeks (so 8-10) I can do nothing in my household and also no gardening.... I see it positive...so I have enough time for "mini" projects! To ly on the sofa with a scissor in my hands.
Kiss,
Sonja
