Aww… she just makes me want to give her a kiss on her little cute face. She seems like she has changed so much already…I think I see a little more of Brave in her face. Can't wait to see more polaroids & I'm glad that you are continuing it. 🙂
I missed so many of last year's Polaroid Tuesdays due to the fact that I joined really late in the year. I am so looking forward to seeing all 52 this year. Especially if they are of your beautiful daughters.
I have a large growing pile of fabric scraps. I refuse to throw them away because I am sure they can be used for something. I have been seeing different types of interesting necklaces made of buttons, beads, and fabric. Then, I figured why not make one out of my scraps...
I think it made my white shirt a little less boring. This was so quick and easy to make.
How to make a recycled scraps necklace (which is very similar to the straps on my braided tablecloth bag):
1. Take your scrap fabric, I cut a .5''-1'' snip and tear the rest of the fabric down for a nice frayed edge. Used 3 different fabrics for each strand.
2. Take 3 of the torn pieces and tie the ends together with a rubber band.
3. Braid the 3 pieces together and tie ends together with rubber band when done.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for more strands. Remember you can make the strands any length you want, if run out of fabric, just weave more into the braid.
5. Once all the strands you want are braided, gather one end of each strand together and straight stitch together with sewing machine. Repeat for the other ends of the strands. Snip off any excess.
6. Gather ends of the necklace and sew together (snip excess) or a ribbon can be sewn at the ends to be able to tie the necklace closed, but I just sewed both ends together.
7. Voila! A nice way to make use of all your lovely scraps.
Sorry if the directions get you a little lost, but it really is easy. I promise. Maybe I should put some in the shop. Please share any other good ideas you may have of things that can be made with scraps. I would love to hear (read) them!
Yippe! I'm so glad to see you are continuing your polaroid project! I can see it morphing into a Chronicle book one day. 🙂
Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year!
Tenaya

(I may try to do a photo of the week…I've been following a few 365 projects, but yikes! I can't commit to that!)

The only way I could love this photo more is if it were my daughter in my own boogie chair!
She is so precious, Ruby! I want to babysit your kids!
