Cozy

I put an order in to Joggles a few weeks ago for a half a yard of Ocean Kelp colored felt.  It was a little harder than I thought to find felt by the yard in this nautical color.  All other supplies I had on hand from sales here or there.

Free hand freezer paper shapes first drawn in paper worked like a dream once ironed onto felt and cut with my dressmaker scissors.  

Yardsticks and rulers are some of my favorite finds. The graphics are fun.  The words written on them are charming and they come in vintage colors that are hard to replicate.

I keep my collection in this tin doggy can...but I think I might have a new spot for a few of them now.

Careful sequins and beaded stitches.

Glittering in the light I can see why these were so popular.

I tried very hard to stay true to the design without changing it.

These scissors proved to be the hardest part.

Not quite the full size of its original.  I did make mine long enough to house a full yardstick.   There was always a yardstick next to our fridge growing up.  We used it almost every week for household projects and such.  I imagine this to be the cutest spot to keep a yardstick cozy in our home.
