Today was the last day of my vacation (sigh). Now I usually spend my last day doing laundry, moping around the house, and resisting the urge to check my work email (why deal with the stress a day early???). This time, however, I spent the day with some of my girlfriends - and what a day! We took a trip out to Listowel, home of the famous wool sale (6 balls of yarn for $7.00 - sign me up)!!
A few dollars and a bunch of yarn later, we returned happy, and full of ideas - now that's a fantastic way to end your vacation!
My little crafty project for today was designed to help me organize my crafting space just a wee little bit!
I needed a container to hold all of my stamping markers, and didn't just want to use a tin can! I found a clear vase from the dollar store with a wide mouth, and a hefty bottom and wrapped it in designer paper (this paper, sold by my company, has a different pattern on the front and back of the paper - so you can actually see a different pattern on the inside of the vase). I added a ribbon bow, stuck my markers inside, and voila! Instant organization.
Any easy project, but remember that the more angled or curvy the vase is, the more difficult it is to add flat paper! I recommend that you lie the vase down on a blank sheet of paper, and trace one side. This will give you a pattern that you can transfer to your fancy paper.
I also started a crochet project today - it's going to take me a few more days to finish...
