Cindy wrote this post before she went on vacation. She’s frolicking on the West Coast, as we discussed….
I was helping a friend clean out some things from her mother-in-law’s house and we came across this little bird. It appeared to need a bit of TLC but I saw the potential in this cute sewing organizer.
Our son is crafty and one of his hobbies is painting small things. He likes to paint Christmas ornaments and little boxes and personalize them for each person. I decided to turn this little birdie over to him for a complete make-over. All I can say is, “Wow!”
Isn’t this cute? What a transformation! I love all the bright colors AND I just so happened to have some coordinating fabric in my stash to cover the pin cushion on its back.
What a great way to brighten up my sewing room!
Do you have any before and after stories of sewing room décor to share? We’d love to hear about them!
Oh, that is so cute! I’ve never seen one of those, but I love it. On Wednesday, I’ll be sharing something a bit unusual that has helped me with sewing room organization and quilt storage.
Thanks, it is so bright and cheery! I am in definite need of organization…sewing room chaos is my new standard….yikes!
That bird is so cute! What a great way to modernize it!
I love all the colors…so cheery! I was happy to see it move from vintage to modern!
Your son did a great job! How old do you think this piece is? My son found an old electric candle scent warmer at Goodwill. It is a ceramic cardinal. He took out the plug and I use it to hold my clips.
Great idea to re-purpose a scent warmer! I am guessing my little birdie was from the 60’s-70’s but am not sure.
What a cutie! Glad you didn’t toss it.
Me too! I love it now!
Cute, cute, CUTE. Love it! ~smile~ Roseanne
Thanks, Roseanne….smile back to you!
What a fun find…I wonder if it was handcrafted by a quilter’s husband?
Your bird makeover is fabulous!
Good question…I’ve never seen anything like it in my antique store travels. I do like the makeover!
Oh my goodness that is adorable and very happy!
Yes, the colors are nice and bright!
