SpRinG Time CaRR otTS!!!


This is about as close to sewing as I have come this week! I got this idea and instructions from Pam at Beehind Thyme a week or so ago. Isn't it an adorable primitive decoration??

I have an old tool box with silverware and seasonal decor on my dining room table and these are perfect for SpRing TiME!

Hey!
I'm glad you 2 stopped by!
The carrotts are so easy!!!
Just newspaper twisted and then foled in half and twisted into the carrott shape.
Then I just wrapped from top to bottom with torn strips of "carrott-y" looking cotton.
The green is just unravelled yarn, tacked with quilting thread to the top of the carrott.
Then I swished some brown paint,thinned out a bit- to add that grungy look I LOVE!!!!
So much fun!!!!!
