Today is Blogerettes Sorority Rush Day..Woo Hoo!!..lots of fun in store going to see all the artistic interpretations with this darling vintage image....
There are so many things one could do with this quaint image! They have such happy looks on their faces....this all makes me think of the Sisterhood of the Ya Ya's... one of my favorite stories!!
This gal ALWAYS need more storage!! My thoughts turned to using the image in connection with storage...Mmmm...Mmmmm what could I do.... and then I remembered the round, primed box just waiting patiently in the basement to be finished. I could us it for odds and ends or...I could use it to store the embroidery floss that needs to be wound on those little cards that I never seem to get to. (The perfect winter evening project!)
So I went to work....First I mixed a color that would compliment the tiny soft lavenderish room I work in....a romantic grayed lavender with beige tones and..... then I set about finding roses to decopage to the box....nothing fancy, as I needed to keep it simple. This box would need to be pretty, but very practical...to be able sit on top or under other boxes and slide out easily...so after I found the roses I wanted, I Decopaged it so it would be sturdy and with no torn roses after lots of use and here you see my finished project....those happy girls now make me happy looking down from the shelf they sit on above my sewing machine.....
Now, off to see and Ohhhh and Ahhhh at all the cleverness of the members of our new Sorority!

Every time you reach for embroidery floss...you'll think of The Sisters!! A pretty and practical idea as well! It was so great to meet you via The Rush! dana
What a cute idea! I love all the things you guys are making! I need to get mine done! Thanks for inspiring me to come up with something!!
So Pretty!! I love hat boxes - the picture is the perfect compliment. I love Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood also - and that's exactly what I thought of when Karen announced the sorority. So happy to meet another Sister!!
What a beautiful box. And a great use for storage. Nice to meet you, Sister.
Rush on, chick!! Good job and welcome to the society.

It is so nice to meet you Jil. I love what you did with the picture. Looking at these creative projects makes me want to do mine over. This will be fun meeting new bloggers and learning from them. I have already been inspired.
Hey Jil, what a lovely pink roses box and so functional! Interesting how so many of us textile artists opted to do boxes:) as I did one too!
What a great project. As I look at all the sisters' projects I keep thinking "I should have done that or that" ha!
Your new sister,
Jacalyn
the storage box is so beautiful and made more so by adding the bloggerette sister's photo. It's a gorgeous piece to be passed on to someone like me...hehe. So nice to meet you and have another blogging sister. Happy Rush Day. xo Lynn

What a great idea! I might have to copy that one! that would be so cute in my studio!
I'm with you - my eyes are crossing after looking at about 2/3 of the blogs today. It's gotta be 5:00 somewhere! Time for a glass of wine - maybe see if my Angels have a game on tonight and RELAX!
Looking forward to getting to know you better in the coming months. After reading your pink Saturday post - I think you might be dangerous to have around - I might just buy it all . . . not good for me! But I'm loving everything I saw! sigh. I'm doomed.
I'm off to find that glass of wine . . .
:) Karen ~ Some days are diamonds

I would love that in my craft room!
