cool Supplies: Stamp Fabric ink pad Pre-washed Twill trim (I use 1/2" wide) Scissors Iron (optional) The stamp I use is a letterpress block I made to say "BELROSSA" To get started, make sure the trim is pre-washed to minimize stamp fading. Simply press the stamp onto the ink pad and then onto the trim about an inch or more apart After stamping the trim, I like to heat set the ink onto the trim. Next, cut the trim into pieces, and you are ready for sewing! To sew, fold the raw edges under and sew a straight line up and down near the fold. *I found my letter press letters at a local antique store, they are also available multiple placed around the internet...etsy, ebay, antique webstores.
Holder for Charging Cell Phone (made from lotion bottle) My husband and I both have cell phones. And both of us have phone chargers. And that means lots of obnoxious cords. You never know when one of us may be moving phone cords around, to give our phones an extra charge while we’re chatting away……… or trying to charge our phones up before running errands or something. Needless to say, those phone cords seem to be everywhere…..and are generally in the way and hanging all over the floor. (Okay, and how about when you’re in a hotel or visiting family/friends. I was looking around on the internet for a solution and found this. It made the perfect little holder for my cell phone while it’s being charged. Holder for Charging Cell Phone And no more phone hanging down from the outlet while in this room or that room……..the cord and phone are now up off the ground, and tucked away into the little holder, while the phone drinks up a full charge. If you look closely, you can see that the orange print is fabric. And turns out, it’s pretty useful.

Curly Birds A couple of years ago around this time of year, a friend of mine taught me how to make a needle-felted mushroom. It was red and white and had little spots on the top.
