Confession

I have a problem. A serious, bias-tape problem. Remember when I said that I was cutting myself off? Those words had meaning, but apparently, only as they were being typed. At the thrift store, there were bags of bias tape for $0.49! Each bag held 5-6 packages of bias tape or trim. I snatched up 6 bags quicker than I could remember my oath. Thirty-one packages of bias and trim for $3.00. Couldn't. Stop. Myself. I ended up buying more than I already had in my stash. But, it's so beautiful! All the rick-rack... And only three packages were open. Just so you know, I wasn't a complete glutton... I left behind two bags for someone else to discover and celebrate.

So, to redeem myself, I made some things. Of course none of it included sewing with bias tape. I sketched, drew, traced, then colored until my fingers were nearly numb. They are matryoshka doll bobby pins made from shrinky dinks. The shrinkies have been waiting patiently to be used for bobbies. (Finally, I'm checking things off of my list instead of adding to it.) The first ones turned out tiny. They'll be turned into clippie embellishments for Charlotte. But, the second batch.... voila!
