also, do you know about http://blueprimrosediy.blogspot.com/ there are tons of tutorials there. it is possible i am the last person on the planet to find this spot. but i cruised through and printed out 5 or 6 things i want to try. i liked the personalized magnets and pushpins made with decorative glass gems. you know, they look like flattened out marbles but rounded on one side. i have tons of those.
i also had to print out the cord bracelet. it is made with a side release buckle and some 1/8" cord. couldn't be simpler. great pictures...step by step. plus David shows one made with glow in the dark cord and one with 2 layers of cording. very cool.
and the explosion box is very neat. they used cardstock to make it. remember the old pattern that you fold the paper like a 9 patch and cut into the corners and fold it into a box. it is like that. but they glued photos inside so when you lift off the top and the box 'explodes' you have a collage of pictures. very cute gift idea. i'm wondering if it could be made of fabric. gotta try it.
another of 2010's projects is to better organize by folders of projects/ideas. in the last 6 months, i have just printed out stuff and stuck it on my desk. there is now a huge pile there. i started out with various folders....mystery/BOM; quilts to make; quilting inspiration; things to try. there was even an index and everything in each folder. it will take me days to add my new pile and organize better. i really have to actually put them in the folder next year instead of in a pile. it would be sooooo much easier to find. and i wouldn't have duplicates. what a plan!!
ok, back to that customer quilt on the frame....it won't quilt itself. well, perhaps they do and i just don't know about that, either. anyone out there have quilting fairies or angels that come in and do your work for you? if so, please let me know where to get one....or 2.
thanks for listening to me. talk to ya later
