Saturday Sparks Link Party 125

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 125!

No matter the season of our lives, we all share a common thread.

Each one of us has a desire to create, a yearning to challenge ourselves and a spirit that gives us the confidence to try.

It occurs to me that only good things can come about from this fine mix of qualities.

 "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young."
~ Henry Ford
  
 Now, lets get this weeks party started.

First up, the Fabulous Features from Saturday Sparks 124.



DIY No Sew Greek Key Curtains at {R&R} at home. Rebecca shows us how she made these fabulous 'Greek Key' curtains for her master bedroom. So pretty!



Our Garden is Growing! at Everyday Living. Pam took her pinterest inspiration into the back yard and shows us the results with a tour of her lovely gardens.


DIY Adirondack Chair Cake Topper at A Bride On A Budget. Lisa had a vision for her wedding cake but was unable to find the adirondack chairs she wanted, so she took matters into her own hands and made them herself.



Tidal Pool at Run'n Stitch. Kathy shows us her 'Tidal Pool' table runner she created using a raw edge appliqué method.



French Grain Sack Dog Bed Tutorial at Old Things New. After having a mishap with a purchased dog bed cover, Patti created her own and is showing us just how she did it.
