Pantyhose Crafts… seriously

After my great grandmother passed away, they went through her house. A lot of stuff just went to the estate sale, but they kept a few things. Everyone in my family knows I love to craft. I got that from my mammaw who got it from grandma. So, when they were going through her things, they found this book that they thought I would love. And they were right. An entire book on pantyhose crafts.

Have I tried any of these? Absolutely not. Am I horrified by some of these, absolutely.

The best part of this book, and the part that made me sob, was a doodle grandma made. She loved to doodle on pieces of scrap paper. This one was on the back of a grocery list.

Doodled Pencil Cup

Recently mom gave me several of these containers to upcyle/recycle to store crafts.

I decided that it was too boring, too plain. It needed decorations. So one day, with my collection of Sharpie markers, I began to doodle.

The best part is that I have one more side that is incomplete. It’s just waiting for me to fill the blank canvas.
