Now that the holidays are past and I'm looking forward to glamping season I'm working on a few little projects for the "Reiver's Rest".
This is my "Doily Bunting" that we can use wherever we want to, outside or inside the glamper, around the canopy, etc.
I took 5 doilies, cut them carefully in half, sewed them into pale green quilt binding, sewed light purple grosgrain ribbon in the ends for tying the bunting up and sewed light green/lavender with floral design ribbon on top to "dress" it up a bit. The third doily from the left on the bottom row is a small one that I just tucked into the binding, it didn't get cut in half.

Close up of the ribbon I used to embellish.
The bunting is 9 feet long not including the ribbon ties.
I'm happy with the result!

Well done CeeJay! It amazes me what a FarmGirl can do with a stack of doilies and some ribbon.

This is the hankie bunting in the back of the trailer over the bed/settee. I sewed whole hankies by the peak in the center to grosgrain ribbon. The hankies could be unstitched and be hankies again, I was reluctant to cut them up. This bunting is kind of permanent here, even though it could be taken down.
I wanted the doily bunting to be something I could use anywhere . . . move it around!

Last summer we started a journal "The Journey's of the Reiver's Rest" with the story of how we got the trailer, our glamping adventures last summer, etc. So, now we can keep telling her story, use as a guest book . . . whatever. I started writing in it while we were out last summer, Robin took it home with her and wrote about our adventures during the summer. Then I've crafted it into a journal in "Reiver's Rest" style. The lace matches lace that I used in the trailer too.
The front:

The back:

Closeups of some of the embellishments, which include Celtic knot buttons

The heart charm was given to me by a farmgirl some time ago, decided this was the perfect place for it.

This was a linen "pocket" that I found at a thrift store a long time ago. When going through some of my linen collection I rediscovered it and decided to make something for the glamper. It is 7 1/2" wide and 8" tall. I sewed a piece of natural colored heavy duck to the back with a strip of plastic in the top to stiffen it and so that it would hang nice and flat. Added a length of lace that matches the lace I've used in the glamper. I think it'll work well for little lightweight treasures, hankies, a few postcards, etc. Plan to hang it in the glamper for decoration.

CeeJay... you Rock!
You almost have me inspired to try my hand ( again) at card crafting... almost... lol! Just whatI need... another UFO! Lol!
That being said... I was at our little library dropping off books for the upcoming Book Sale... so I perused the shelves and spotted this truly fabulous card crafting bookk so I decided to check it out (we get 3weeks) to read and glean some great ideas.
"Creative Cardmaking. A complete guide "..by Maryjo McGraw...2004. I am actually going to try the polimer clay idea on cardstock. But 1st I have to buy polymer clay... lol... yep, I can see it being a UFO... lol!
