Is it just me, or does it bother most people if things around the house have a label slapped on it?    I am one of those people that notices things like that.  I will be happily washing my hands and my eyes will inadvertently wander to the DIAL label on the plastic soap bottle.    I want to stash the little bottle under the sink so I don’t have to stare at it!

Not only that, sometimes you have to live with a color that you would never choose.  Purple, orange  and yellow are not colors that I have ever decorated with.   Yet those are the colors that seem to crop up on tissue boxes and even vacuum cleaners.  

I like the look of glass jars filled with rice, flour or even laundry detergent.  They look pretty displayed on a counter or inside a cupboard. It brings me genuine pleasure to pour honey or maple syrup into a shiny glider bottle.

Some things are easy to decant but others are easier, just to cover.  
 So next, enters the lure of the donning of coats on various items. 

This is where English Paper Piecing can be used to make an attractive cover. Tumblers are an easy fit.  The fussy cutting is fun and a little quilting makes them sort of puffy. These below are 1 inch tumbler paper pieces sewn into strips.  Four strips cover a tissue box rather nicely.
