Perusing Pinterest can suck up a lot of time. Anyone who has taken the plunge and joined can attest to that. However, that being said, it is a great place for inspiration. Had something like this in my mind, for all those sample books of fabric that my Mom's friend sends to me. So, above was the prototype and... of course, I had to get a little carried away. My girls would say, "Another manic moment, Mom?" I call it Stash Busting. And, these were from last week. Turning some samples, ideas, and plain,  just stuff laying around, into barrettes. That's it, folks. I am still recovering from the weekend of little boys. I think that they wore me out!

Sorry to disappoint all of you, but today is not a coffee snorting kind of story. Just some stuff that I dug out of my sewing room, and FINISHED! I started these stockings last fall at our ladies sewing weekend. Done. And this pillow...started at the same time. These little barrettes stay in a container and I dig them out and work on them every now and then.  And a little bit of knitting in between.  Lightweight yarn that is not too hot to work on in the heat. On a good note, it finally cooled off a little here and we had some rain. Amazing how quick everything greened up again.
