Teachers' Gifts 2012
This year's edition of Teachers Gifts are adorable nest necklaces. I made one for myself a few months ago. (I was procrastinating cleaning the house and decided, instead, to sit on my kitchen floor and make a necklace.) In the past few months, I have gotten a lot of compliments on my necklace, so I decided to make them in bulk. A friend's birthday, Mother's Day, and birthday gifts for my three sisters. So far they are a huge hit. (I personalized theirs using pink and blue pearls reflecting their children and families.) So it was no surprise when I decided to make them for the teachers this year. I saved up all my 40% Michaels coupons (and made Joe load the Michaels app onto his phone for more savings -- he must really love me). I made twelve necklaces in all. I was able to make four necklaces from each pack of wire and each pack of chain. To package them, I put them in small, fushcia organza bags (from Michaels) and placed them in zebra-striped ...

And with all those dotty fabrics I do NOT see the exclusive "club fabric" (unless I skimmed and missed it).
DianNe - Don't ask about the exclusive club fabric. It's nothing.
May I ask if these are your recent purchases/acquisitions or from stashing over a long period of time....?
And of course, what are you gonna make out of them!
Dots! You either love them or love love them! I am somewhere in between!
Gina watches over my shoulder as I read blogs, and I have been meaning to tell you that everytime your blog opens she says she is sad for your son. She hates that he is crying in the picture. I love your picture as it seems to capture childhood perfectly, she on the otherhand empathizes with whatever your little one must have been feeling that day, too cute!
Where did all the ones in the middle come from? Those are great for quilts.
I have a few yards each of black with white dots, white with black dots and black with pink dots. And they can be yours (happily!) if you are interested.
Just say the word and they'll be in the mail on their way to your doorstep.
Please?
ahem.
