whoo hoo! I'm on Spring Break! Boo hoo. Today is the last day. I don't know how it happens, but vacations are never long enough. I spend the first couple of days sleeping and recovering from pre-vacation craziness and then the last few days trying to get all my to do lists crossed off! I had from Wednesday at noon til tomorrow (Tuesday) at 7 am, so I have about 14 hours to get a whole bunch of stuff done! Plus sleep. I think I may have to accept reality that I'm not going to make the list empty.
Here's something I have finished up this weekend:
It's a yo-you trivet using the Summer Smooches fabric. I used my Big Shot to cut 3 1/2" circles. I sewed around each one by folding over the edge 1/4 inch as I sewed. That way, I could pull the string tight and the yo-yo would form. I just tacked a group of them together and I have a cute trivet!
I made most of these during a Vendor Fair and kept getting told how "crafty" I was. If they only understood how easy it was! I tried to explain the simplicity, but that didn't work so well!
Happy Stamping!
That is so cute!! I've made the Yo-Yos before, but I never thought of stitching them together! What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteCute idea! And you are crafty - accept the genius at work :)
ReplyDeleteOK I've been seeing these lots of places this week - as all of you enjoying your vacations get back to WORK next week, I might have to try these myself...wait - I'll still be working...:/

Fun!! Don't you just love that fabric?!
ReplyDeleteFunny story crafty lady!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea for showcasing the fabric! Of course you're "crafty"! I just love the cute emphasis that folks put on the word "crafty" when they pay you the compliment...so full of wonder and a touch of jealousy.
