meet my turtle

I love this turtle, I have had it for a few years now, I found it at a yard sale, isn't that funny how you can always remember what sale you bought it at and how much you paid for it ??Even years later ?!I use it for everything , to hold little trims and pieces of things .I like to sew but don't always have the time to sew like I used to .

And here is my newest project ,this vintage barbie tee is heading to altered couture this week ! I also hope to have Audrey Hepburn ones done too very soon! I love the way this turned out , I am not a barbie girl like my friend Jessi is but when I picked this up at a yard sale I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. She was shown with just a shirt on and now she is wearing a vintage lace dress with vintage satin french ribbon with a vintage pearl broach and her hair is also tied with the same french ribbon and a pearly rhinestone piece of jewelry! I also added some vintage tulle that had sparkly gold polka dots on it and it ruffled the dress up just perfectly! Just so cute ! And thats a little bit about what I've been up to! And also working on a few upcomming features I am so excited to soon be able to tell you about.
