Lori from LA-D-Da was there, too, with a quick little pin cushion out of a wooden spool and a golf tee (how cute!) and a lovely acorn adorned pin cushion box top. I used her acorn design with leftover thread and fabric to make a scissors fob. The front says " 20 (acorn) 09" and the back says "Columbiana, Ohio". Now I'll have a specific reminder of the trip.
Lori also had us adorn a drawstring bag that she gave us. Made out of Weeks Dye Works felt, the bag just needed the WDW felt rose and leaves and the drawstring ribbons inserted to be done. If you didn't know the buttonhole stitch when you arrived that day, you certainly were expert in it within the hour! The edges of the flower and the petals are in buttonhole stitch and the flower is sewn to the bag using buttonhole stitch.
Someone had a battery powered Ott lamp. I'll check into these. If it has a power cord option this could be just what I need. I need to get the transparent tape Judy had at my table to make following the chart easier.
I forgot to bring my Ott lamp. I unplugged it, but that was as far as it got. I checked Hobby Lobby (wahoo!!!! Hobby Lobby!!!!) and although they had Ott lamps they were full price at $104.00 each. Much, much more than I was willing to pay for forgetting something I already owned.
Lori was wearing a great charm necklace. I commented on it (I've always loved charm bracelets and a charm necklace was new to me) and she told me she made it herself with charms from.....Hobby Lobby!! At the afternoon break I went to HL and bought tons of charms, a chain and small beading tools. Voila, by the next morning I had my own charm necklace. Thanks, Lori!!!!!!!!!
