A while ago we received a baby gift with a cloth diaper that was embelished with some cute ribbon and stitching. I thought it was so cute I would have to give it a try. So the other day, when Ike was on the horizon, I needed a project to keep me busy and my mind off impending doom. Luckily Scott's mom had sent us a bunch of cloth diapers a few weeks earlier in a big box of goodies. I got them out and then dug around in my ribbon box (which by the way, needs some major replenishing) and basket of scrap cloth and came up with these. It was "sew" easy! (sorry, I couldn't resist the bad pun) Once stores reopen around here I want to get some more ribbon and make more.
My new favorite gadget is the label maker. I was going through all my sewing supplies and fabric the other night and had a Martha Stewart moment. I went out the next day and bought a ton of clear plastic containers, organized and labeled everything. It is so great. Whenever I want to cross stitch I just grab the cross stitch bin and everything is there or whenever I want to crochet I just grab the crochet bin. I'm so excited. I can't wait to organize my scrapbook supplies. The other day, on one of the many Martha Stewart shows, I saw her organize/make a craft armoire. I have just the piece of furniture to do this. So, once the Christmas decorations are all put away I am going to tackle that project, of course with the help of my trusty label maker.
