The Loosle Chronicles

I’m sure you’re all sick of seeing the crafts I’m making, but that’s all I’ve done lately. I’ll post a recipe another time. Anyhow, this project was really easy. it’s small and just something for a baby to hold. Kim, my cousin-in-law, gave me the idea. She said it’s perfect for babies. All you do is get two pieces of fabric and different colored/textured ribbons and sew it up (ok…that’s very vague, but I’m too tired to think of how to explain it…sorry). So everyone go make one or twenty…heehee. Enjoy!

A little over a year ago I bought 9 mirrors from Ikea for only 1.99 each. I stained the frames and left them outside to dry. Well, I ended up going to girls camp and totally forgot my frames were outside. Generally, that’s not a problem in August here in Utah because we don’t usually get any rain. NOT the case last year. It rained on my frames and ruined them. The wood seperated at the corners making it unsalvagable. However, I refused to throw them away. I just stacked them up and put them in a corner. Yesterday I was bored and decided to do something with my frames. So I cut fabric out to wrap around each frame. I adhered it using a hot glue gun. They’re BEAUTIFUL!! Now I hope it doesn’t take another year to hang them. heehee. I’ll post a pic of them hung when I get that done…hopefully this weekend.
