Dressing up Boring Canisters

Did you have a good weekend?

Our family had a Great Weekend. It was Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, and we celebrated it by having two days of friends and family coming over to our little home for food and drinks.

I spent a lot of time cleaning, since the spouse was the one doing most of the cooking. Poor abused hands of mine. Hahaha...
However, it was worth it. Great friends, excellent food.... lots of laughter.

I only managed to do some sewing on Saturday, when my friend Claudia, came over for some sewing fun. It was a productive evening, and I will show you what I made, the next time I post.

However, I did sneak this one in.

Here were my boring and very old counter-top canisters:



And according to my 5-year-old, I decided to keep them warm:


They are much prettier on my counter-top.
You may recognize the fabric from this post, about ugly fabric.
So, I think, taken separately, the fabric is not really ugly.
Some day, just some day, I may be able to buy some beautiful Anna Maria Horner, or Heather Bailey. For now, I'll just drool and maybe hope.
Meanwhile, my canister will stay warm.

The fabric works so well together! And the canisters look very "warm." Heh.
