All the grannies in the house say HELL YEAH
Today I’m honoring all of the old time crafters by featuring some of my favorite plastic canvas needlepoint finds (thanks to my friend Sara for helping me figure out exactly what this fine craft is CALLED)!
The first, and probably my favorite, is this needlepoint doorstop. It’s so cute but it’s also falling apart. It has a brick inside (hence the stopping of doors) and the weight of the brick has made some of the stitching unravel. Have I fixed it? Heck no.
Here’s a cool one I found at Treasure Mart when I went with my mom in the spring.
Then, a month or two after that, I found this very useful item. I keep it in the cabinet where we store bags.
Finally, this past Friday, I found this festive holiday item.
I will switch it out at Christmas with the house tissue holder featured above.
Now I do realize that these are extremely chintzy crafts, but I have a very soft spot for them for two reasons. First, they are often functional (door stop, tissue box holder, bag storage), and second, I am almost 100% certain that each was hand-crafted by someone’s grandma. You can’t beat it.
