Another Productive Day.











Well I had a lot of fun today after church...I have been itching to try to make these lovely little baskets I found ages ago at The Sometimes Crafter .





I was inspired again when Jenny of ELEPHANTZ posted about something similar. so today was the day...I had the afternoon to my self (yes it was all about Me). I made just two of the baskets up but will make some more very soon...they are so easy. I would suggest you look at both tutorials to get a good idea of how to do it if you are new to this kind of thing like I am. they are very rewarding because you feel like you have accomplished something in such a short time.


I decided to put my fabrics in them so I can see what I have...I have to make up a few more to get all the fabrics out.

I have a friend coming over on Thursday so I am going to see if she wants to try to make one with me. I think it will be fun for Her, and she will surprise herself.
I have also been drooling over some of the gorgeous fabrics Khris has at The Fabric Cafe.
I have some in mind to make these lovely baskets out of. you could use most any fabric for these...even plastic fabrics to make some for the bathroom.
I spent most of yesterday afternoon cleaning and rearranging My sewing room...finally it works for me. Wayne, Elijah and I spent most of the morning at our church car-Boot-Sale, they are going to have them once a month now...all funds raised goes to the house of love in china...an orphanage that some of our Mission Families have spent a lot of time building up and caring for the children who are dumped. I can not think of a better cause.
well till next time...Happy Crafting All.
Amanda
