Today I want to share a couple crafty things I've been doing.  First, for my daughter-in-law's birthday I embroidered my grandchildren's hands (3 yr old and 9 yr old) and a happy birthday wish from them, framed it with lace and the kids presented it to their mom on her birthday on January 30th.

Next, this is a photograph of my bedside "table".  We moved into our small house recently and I saw this idea in a decorating magazine. I found three old suitcases and the picnic basket at an antique store, and the lamp at a thrift store.  I love it. And, the suitcases act as storage as well.

Tomorrow I'll share the foam flower garden my granddaughter and I are making for her preschool teachers for valentine.
