Thankful for the little things

It's Thanksgiving week - a time for families to gather together and eat until their pants pop open! And of course, it's a time to be thankful. We should always be thankful, especially for the little things. And I have a project I made that reminds me to be thankful for the little things God has given me.

Baby shoes - so much fun to upcycle and be creative! This little shoe is perched atop an old cardboard spool. It's embellished with buttons, lace, and a fancy ornament with a sparkling jewel.

The spool is adorned with printed handmade trim with a fairy and a flower. 

And what's inside? And old doll with his Teddy bear, ruler, scissors, and a small tree.

This is something my Mother would've adored and I believe I got some of my artistic talent from her. It's those little things I'm truly thankful for.
