6 days in already...

so... have you been collecting all those tp and paper towel rolls

like the good Eco friendly bunch that you are

and

short of covering the walls with "sculptures"

or windows with "snowflakes"

what else have you done with them

I made some spools with some

I cut the roll about 2.5" long

cut two circles using the

Vick's jar top as a guide

?

glued the ends and stuck the circles on

found some paper in the drawer I was looking through

when all this

paper crafting suddenly hit

and

covered the ends with it

to make it look vintage and antique :P

and from another drawer

took the  left over bits and wrapped it around the spools

e voila

leftover yarn

on leftover rolls

now we're savin' the planet!!!

I made a little cover

for the new gadget...

I didn't want the screen to get scratched in my bag

or for the thing to be turned on accidentally and scan the Web on its own

and pick up some sort of

nasty

 husband has been

what they call

'butt dialled"

by his sister no less

that means that you sit on the phone and it randomly dials a number

unbeknownst to you!!!

I made it with this

daffodil coloured silk blend  I've had for a while

figured it's soft enough not to scratch

it's quite bright and loud too

and I thought I would be able to see it easily in the

dark pit of the bag

but...

husband got a real and genuine gadget protector

made of leather/ette (?) that fits much better

and protects much better

so

this will be used for something else

I used that wonderful cable stitch I found

and used on the funky chunky scarf

it makes a thick fabric which is why I used it to make the bag

 that isn't needed and that won't be used

oh well...

maybe a tissue holder?

and finally

(I hear you cheering!!!)

I've turned the corner on the new attempt at making something new and different

I haven't worked on it very much since I showed you the other day

but this morning I sat and knitted and with each stitch

marveled at the age old wonder of

why are hard looking things easy

and

easy things

....

.........................................

:)

weaving and curving

up and down



round and round

making holes out of curves...and getting to drop stitches

on

purpose!!!

have a great weekend everybody

thanks for coming by and leaving all the nice comments

glad you liked the new blogs!!

and for those of you who come and don't leave comments

but swoop in and take the patterns without a word of thanks or acknowledgement

hope you're enjoying learning something new

too

I can see you

 you know

as the numbers are large and I know where it is you go

but do tell me one thing

why the waffle weave

?????
