Welcome to my blog


Welcome to my blog. I look forward to sharing my various interests with you all. I have a webpage www.yoursmineandhers.com  with my two daughters and we have a wide range of interest in recycling and repurposing unique items from clothing to hardware. We are a family of do-it-yourselfers and crafters and enjoy finding new uses for things old and new. I love the feeling I get when I take an unused shelf board and make myself a laptop desk for my recliner. Or cut a cardboard cereal box into a holder for my many quilting magazines.  I have been at a sewing machine since I was a child and really get into making something different from a retired piece of  clothing. (See the picture above of the purse/bag I made from a thrift store sports coat.) I plan on making some potholders soon for use in our newly remodled kitchen and look forward to trying a new pattern I have in mind. Picture to follow when I get the project started. My time revolves around the care of 2 wonderful great grandsons and a summer full of activies so my post may be sporatic for awhile.
