Crafty Compulsion

Sometimes handwork is the best work.  Over the weekend, while watching the Season 7 marathon of Project Runway, I made fabric flowers and yo yos.  I'm blaming it all on Jenny.  See the box in the picture below?  No?  Well, that's because it is overflowing with scraps she so generously sent me.
I asked her for a few Sis Boom scraps to round out my scrappy Sis Boom Spiderweb blocks.  I thought the postman would deliver something the size of a Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope.  Ha!  Silly me!  This is what he brought instead.

Because it is currently sitting on the ottoman in plain sight, I feel compelled to do things with the scraps.  The only way to solve this problem is to hide it away.  Otherwise, I will continue to be distracted by all the bits and pieces.

My fabric friends are some of the most generous people in the world.  They also tend to be great enablers.  How lucky am I.

    Jenny is a Sis Boom Wonder Woman!!! I'm loving those flowers and yo-yos together. Do you have plans for them or will they just fill a bowl and look beautiful?

    Pretty yo-yos, what are you going to make with them?

    Going to the library to look for Martin books, this author is new to me.

    Alicia--if you like fantasy, you are in for a bit treat with George R.R. Martin. I hope you enjoy the series as much as I do.

    The yo yos and fabric flowers will end up on various little projects. At the moment only one specific thing in mind, but they way things go around here, it doesn't hurt to have embellishments ready to go at a moment's notice.
