Wooden Spool Pincushion

I love the little ladybug on the base of the spool. The mini strawberry is so cute !

Morning Eggs

I used glass beads for the salt and tiny black stitches for the pepper

Strawberries





















Outside the sliding doors:


Our first sign that spring is on its way

Lamp #2

This lamp is made of 2 antique wooden spools. The guts of the lamp is recycled wire from an ugly donor lamp. The shade still needs to be tea stained.

Lamp #1





This lamp was a steal at a garage sale for $1. I added some of my wooden spools, spray painted the bottom black and bought a new shade. I had to replace the switch (thanks Uncle Donnie). For about $15 I have a lamp that I love.
