sakon76Yesterday morning, I found out that at Squiddle's toddler group this morning, we'll be doing an ornament exchange.
So after a day of running around and having dental work done, etc., I remembered that I had seen a tutorial for fabric star ornaments that seemed promising, and re-found it via Google.
I am a quilter. I have a LOT of fabric strips already cut.
So last night I ironed and wove and trimmed and this morning pulled out some embroidery floss and made hanging loops, so I now have five stars for the exchange. Not a difficult task, just time-consuming. Which, Wonderful Husband pointed out, is true of most if not all crafts.
Incidentally, apparently the absolute best location for Squiddles is behind Mummy, wherever she may be sitting. Including on desk chairs. So I get a bare strip of the front to claim for my own as I type this.
On the other hand, he's really cute. :)
