Crafting

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a craft space once cleaned must be in want of new craft projects to fill it.

I was trying to clear my craft table for when a friend comes over this week to instruct me in quilting so, you know, I can set up my sewing machine.

Instead, as soon as there was clear space, this happened:


Two pairs of bottlecap earrings, one with the Pepsi logo in blue, red and white forming a kind of wavy shape and the other of Izzy bottlecaps which is kind of a daisy shape in silver on a white background. The bottle caps are attached to a piece of wire which is twisted on itself and attached to French hooks. Below them is a crocheted white flower (which I made the other day); today I got out a glue gun and attached a pin backing to it.

Then I put the Izze bottlecap earrings and the flower, along with a baby hat and two stuffed animals, in a sewn gift bag with a letter for my mom's coworker (who is pregnant). I've actually never met her, but I've talked to her, and she's super appreciative of the handmade stuffed animal I made for her first child so she gets lots of goodies.

Now to help my mom finish the baby sweater and we'll be good to go.
