Reinventing this super inexpensive pair of sandals by adding crocheted accents. Just used white plastic rings, did a single crochet around each using Kreinik holographic Tapestry #12 Braid, then hot glued them onto the sandals. Added flat-backed cabochon in each center.

I've had these completed edgings for at least a couple of years without attaching them to anything and while it's nice to pull them out now and then to look at it's not nearly as satisfying as having something you can lay on a table and admire! This is the rose coloured one. There is a blue one too.
15/365 I lived up to my flickr name today. Focusenvy is going to the quilt lady (lady who quilts our quilts with a long-arm machine) tomorrow, so this morning I decided to make a baby quilt and have it ready to take tomorrow. From first thought to finishing the top -- I just made it.
One of my favorite high school teachers is retiring. This is how I remember his classroom: everyone around a round table, discussing ideas.
This was a brand new species of wasp for me. Apparently this species is distinctive for its blue black color with silvery/gold patches. A species in the family of thread waisted wasps. Kind of obvious from whence that name comes.

A Thread-waisted wasp, not sure what kind of bloom that is though. Not sure, but it looks like the poor guy might be missing a leg, too!

was looking at colours today - my thread palette is distinctly lacking in blues, yellows and earthy tones
YAY! I picked up a thread rack tonight at WalMart for all of $10. I've been wanting one of these for a really long time. I think thread looks so pretty and colorful displayed this way. Plus I was able to empty two little plastic storage bins I was keeping my thread in (now I have a place to store other sewing-supplies!).
I sew at 2 different areas and was tired of chasing my pincushion around, so I made one to fit tightly into a sewing drawer that I keep sitting on top of the cabinet. Works GREAT! The little thing on top has sand in it, for my needles.
