S-S-S-Scavenger Hunt

The Scavenger Hunt this month is a little different. Our hostess and ringleader, Jill (Greenthumb) at Made With Love, is on hiatus for a few months. With advancefuturetiming technology, the link-up went ahead last month - basically, we showed up at her place and made our own drinks and snacks. She just asked us to clean up after ourselves, and then she gave us carte blanche to do what we wanted for January. I made up prompts for my photos. I wanted some kind of theme to tie them together, so they all start with the letter S.


First up, SEQUEL
 

I wasn't completely satisfied with my logo cover-up that I showed you in my last post, so I changed it. Here, I've used a scrap of rather lovely fabric and glued it down to the logo. Then I glued a plastic brooch (without the pin) on top of it. The brooch came from Citizen Rosebud's shop.

I like this better, but I still need to trim the edges or add something to finish them off.

SOFT
 

I was given a lot of lotion at Christmas, and some lip balm. So I'm pretty soft right now.

SORT

Yikes! I've been sorting through lots of old clothes and shoes to see what I could jettison - I got $79 at a resale shop, which was way better than I expected! The rest went to the thrift store.

SCISSORS

Trying to work out an idea I had for embellishing a blazer. It's all pinned - see below - but I just haven't started sewing yet.

SUGGESTION

This is my suggested placement of the lace pieces.

STACK

You may have guessed there's a sort of sewing theme going on here.

SAFETY

I seem to have several of these travel sewing kits with safety pins, thread, needles and buttons.

SEE

See! It's nearly invisible - and has been waiting for use since the '60s!

STICK

A "voodoo" doll I was given long ago. I use it as a pin cushion.

And, breaking away from the sewing theme -

SCULPTURE

At our local art museum - the head is sculpted out of Sotheby's catalogs!

Check out the other scavengers here. Happy scavenging!

Scavenger Hunt!

For this post, I'm trying something new that I found out about on Kezzie's blog. Each month on Made With Love, Greenthumb posts a list of things for a scavenger hunt, and you have a month to find and photograph those things. Then you can link up your list on her blog. Fun, right?

So here we go!

A IS FOR... my sister, Ann, whose birthday is in April. There are actually recent pictures of her here, but I wanted to use this old one because it's so cute!

11AM - or it might have been 10:40, but I was ready for a snack.
 


SMOOTH - this one speaks for itself.

  
SCALE - cue "Twilight Zone" music.

TILE - in downtown Eugene.

LOGO - I walk by this place every day, and I've always thought this is one of the best logos I've seen.

SCRAP - also in downtown Eugene.

 
MATCH

PATH

LAYERS - downtown Eugene again.

 

CARRY - UNICEF just sent this beautiful tote bag - it's plasticized and it has an outer zip pocket. I do love it, but I wouldn't mind if they just kept the money and used it for what they do best.

TRUCK
