Yep . . Sharon, I have seen license plates used as birdhouse roofs. In fact, I've done that too! Robin has one that I made for her with the 2nd license plate from her car. (Front plates aren't required on cars in Arizona) In Old Town of San Diego, she and I saw some really cool purses made from license plates in an upscale shop there . . . very interesting. CJ

Oooo Julie can you post a picture of the license plate that was made into a purse. I have never heard of that or even a birdhouse roof from a license plate. I do birdhouses, umm, I might try that. But I would have to take license plates off the cars in my neightborhood first haha.

No I don't use it alot, only for special occasions. It doesn't have any compartments in it, wish it would. I'll try to take pictures tonight for you Joan.

CJ, I knew I would find you here. Just wanted to thank you for the birthday card. It was a nice surprise.
I have been working on a jacket for myself. I have never been one for sewing clothes but I just had to have this jacket. I will post pictures when it is done. I'm piecing different fabrics together and then quilting each section and then sewing it together. Yesterday I got tired and fibro started to act up and I cut out and sewed two pieces backwards. Hopefully today I can cut out new pieces and get that fixed. I'm learning as I go.
I love creations with old license plates. The purses are very unique.
Later all. Off to the basement and sewing machine.

Just been working on dishcloth sets in the evenings in between making Fig Jam, Habanero Fig Jam, Strawberry Fig Jam :) My parents have 2 34-year old fig trees and so far we've picked 33 lbs of figs. No rain lately, so the harvest kind of dropped off. Back to knitting and sewing! |

Julie, that purse is so unique. Really clever.
Bunny I am anxious to see your jacket when you finish. It sounds like it is going to be so pretty.
CJ your sign is wonderful. It must have taken lots of time and work much less many, many license plates to make it. Really nice!

What a blessing Kristina! I always wanted a big family. We were blessed with one son and I treasure him. I do miss sewing for a girl though. Been thinking of sewing some simple, modest little girl dresses to sell. |

I borrowed this idea from a friend,,, simply spray painted a metal tray, then added magnets to the back side of some Scrabble Tiles... now friends can leave me 'messages' at my trailer door...
so easy peasy.....

What a great idea. I'm supposed to be doing some work around the house the next two days, but might just have to get out to some thrift stores too! |
