...but for now you will have to put up with the quality and that they're not cropped. The fact that it takes me over twenty minutes to get a picture from the camera to the blog is effort enough! Technology is a wonder, IF you can push the right buttons (and then manage to remember what it was you pushed to get the result you want). Monday we had one of our 'sanity' days and skipped town. Actually we were shopping for a new coffee and end table set for our living room and did a little Christmas shopping too. This year I'm determined to shop locally as much as we can but there are some things that just aren't available here. We even went so far as to have a date night too and went to see 'Twilight'. Not bad - although I do have to admit that the target audience is definitely the younger crowd. I liked the books so had to see the movie to see how well it was done.
Yesterday was a sew day with my friends which I always look forward to. Not much sewing got done but we sure did have fun.
Over the weekend I worked on the coaster set you see in the picture above. It's a Christmas present for someone we give a little token to. I saw the idea on the 'About A Bit of Everything' blog. Pretty simple to make...a rubber stamp, StazOn ink, sealer, and some cheap ceramic tiles (45 cents each!!). They're baked in the oven for a few minutes to help set the ink. I'm putting peel and stick felt on the back. Tied up with some rafia and they should be a great little gift.
those coasters look like a great little gift idea -- handy to have a few on hand for those "surprise gifts" one always seems to need....
ReplyDeleteOH very kewl! A great idea!
ReplyDeleteLovely coasters!
ReplyDeleteI think there are some trouble on the blogosphere right now. Pictures don't properly here either.
Anyway, thanks for commenting on my jacket :-)
the coaters are great - a very clever idea.
