Cute Clothesline and a FAIL

Day #199
Hearts #207-208

 A week or two ago, when I was asking for suggestions for these wool felt scissors fobs, my friend Diane (aka fiddlegirl8) mentioned an idea that I had already been toying with--a clothesline!  Since we both thought of it, I had to try it.  Who knew a clothesline could be so cute?

A tiny t-shirt, blue jeans, and boxers!

Diane also mentioned something else, which is pictured below.  I was almost finished making it when I thought "this doesn't look right".  My daughter was sitting nearby, so I showed it to her and asked, "What do you think this is?"

She answered:  "The letter U?"
No.

"A necklace?"
No.

"Christmas lights?"
NO.  *Sigh*

I told her tt's supposed to be a BUNTING.  She says she's never heard of a bunting.  *Sigh*

Okay, well, I know how it SHOULD look, so I'm going to try again tonight.  Come back tomorrow to view my new, improved bunting!!

Snowman in July

Day #189
Heart #197

Yesterday Homerof2, a new friend from Craftster, left a comment, saying she had just read this WHOLE BLOG from January 1st until the present!  Then she offered two suggestions for scissors fobs:  a snowman, and the Canadian flag.  I had actually already sketched a snowman heart in my notebook, so in honor of Homerof2's epic blog-reading session, I got busy and whipped this up:

It felt delightful to work on a snowy heart in the middle of this hot hot summer!  Now I am turning my thoughts to the Canadian flag...that maple leaf will be a challenge...
