My little sister had a big birthday last week.....
She thinks she's old!
I should be so young!
Of course I had to MAKE something to commemorate the day!
Something with the NUMBER on it!
I knew when I was in Omaha at Silver Bella that
I was going home and make this for her....
I had already made the sewing machine cover.... I left some of the embellishingup to her since she is a quilter! We'll see what she does!
All the crocheted flowers and trim weredone by our Mother. We lost her in 2003.
I cut up an old doily and edged the machine cover with it.
Some of the buttons and "stuff" are from her button box
and the pink felted wool bird is from an old family blanket.
Happy Birthday to Fonda!

Oooo, great box! Love your own spin on Rebecca Sower's "technique"!
The sewing machine cover is a true heirloom. How wonderful to use so many of your mother's things in the making of it.
Fab!! don't you just love this Rebecca inspiration?? I'm still working through my obsession! what a wonderful personal gift, your sis is one young lucky gal! M.
Wow! great shadow box! What a lovely gift, and then to get the machine cover, which is sentimental, what a lucky sister! x
Turned out awesome!! She will love it I'm sure. Makes me want to do another one!! VB
Linda, I just love these boxes you cover in music. I wish I had time to pull some together for my show -- they are enchanting. And you can make them so specific. Beautiful work. Love it.
Love that you took the box idea and had your own inspiration!! Love it!! I really didn't believe it would snow but isn't it pretty??
What a great variaton of the Silver Bella project. I imagine your sister was thrilled!
