Repurpose Reuse Restyle Upcycle Handmade DIY
Hello to all visiting today! Welcome to LilacsNDreams! My first of the year plans have not gone completely like I was wanting it to be. I was hoping by now I would be creating, doing some handmade items, repurposing and restyling a few pieces. Instead I have been going through things in basement. Slowly donating some things, some containers have gone to storage, and have been posting things on FB Marketplace too. I’ve had a couple of items sell within about 5 minutes of them posting. That feels good when that happens. So I have been dealing with downsizing, and organizing of things right now.
I have ideas of what I want to craft when I am able to work on things. Do some handmade, do some repurposing, and just sit down to create things. A lot of thoughts on mind, many notes made, and wishing I could wiggle my nose to make everything else be done so I could work on making some things. Get my crafting on!
So, what I mostly have been working with…besides the organizing in basement and donations…is with my blog here, following different FB groups that deal with crafting and vendor fairs, and watching my domain renewals. What to keep, not keep, or start up. I have been reading, and following what people have been doing with organizing their booth layouts. Also, things shared about payment services used, any issues, and questions being answered by many. It’s nice to see the input from so many others, and the sharing from everyone. I like so many things other crafters are sharing with items they are creating. They are doing so well! It seems like many people have been making a lot of the same things. It’s great, love it, but I also want to be able to incorporate a few things of my own too. Putting my own touch to things making it just a little bit different than what others are offering.
Below is a picture of a divided dish pedestal stand I had made. I really did like making these along with angels too. Many have been making angels, and I love them! Many are using all the same products to make the Angels, very close to same designs, etc. This is where again I would like to add a little of my own touch that they would stand out a little more for being just a little different. Making them a little more unique. This is where thrifting comes in very handy, and prices are reasonable that I can acquire a few more pieces to mix, match, and work with.
So, with a little imagination some of the old items can be like new again, and once conventional things can become unique. I’m hoping for us all to learn some things, share some things, and be inspired with Repurpose, Reuse, Restyle, Upcycle, Handmade, DIY with LilacsNDreams.
Thanks so much for visiting with LilacsNDreams! Happy to have you visit, and hope to see you again soon. Take care, and be safe!
