{~*~Elin's Amerika~*~}

{Elin's Amerika by Marguerite De Angeli} is a book I bought my grandchild awhile ago, from an Antique Shop. The one I bought her was a vintage. I really enjoyed reading the story. It's nice to know that it is still available.

{~Uses for Shoulder Pads~}

I usually take the shoulder pads out of my clothing. Here are some ideas of use for them.

Make cat toys, sew on curve, leave a enough opening to add catnip at the tail end and add a tail and sew up. Add ears, eyes, nose and whiskers. Add to inside or outside of pants and use as knee pads, Add lace for hair accessory, make a bra, link to bra tutorial & other projects at:{One Pretty Thing}, make a child purse, doll head, pin cushion, add zipper and make a coin purse, make fin-

ger puppets, eye mask, tree ornaments, doll bonnet, brooch, add as ears to a costume, sew around, leave opening big enough to fill with beans or rice and make a toss toy, or stuff with fiber fill and make a ball or make a {Kippah} if you had enough of them collected & fold and sew to children's clothing to make pockets. Supplies needed: scissors, thread. Embelishments & other supplies needed, depending on project, are: ribbon, lace, buttons, hooks, snaps, velcro, zipper, beads, embroidery floss, hair clasp, fabric beans or rice. How about making finger puppets and adding them to a shoe box blessing for a child and give to: {Samaritans Purse}
