Current Mood : Hungry. My MSG levels are dangerously low...
Submitted an ‘I made this' photo and review to the youcanmakethis.com site where I bought the box pattern. The e-mail I got afterwards said they'd try to review my comments within two weeks, but an hour later, I went to double-check something, and it was already there. Darn, I'm good.
Unfortunately, about all else I got done today were some dishes and cutting out the fabric for Dearest Son's next crate slipcover. I'm using some black broadcloth and some thin cream-colored cotton that frays like anything. So I cheap-serged all the way around both fabrics. Should be able to get it sewn up tomorrow.
This one has a theme. I'm going to embroider the ‘Nerf' logo I digitized on the sides that don't have a seam running through them. The crate is the crappiest one in the house, and as-is, it's darn near useless. I got a set of ‘em in a yard sale for a quarter. It's not really a milk crate at all, but instead a hanging kids' closet organizer. There's several blue plastic ‘grids' and a buncha red plastic ‘s' shaped snap hooks, and you can arrange the pieces together in whatever shape you need. I used it for fabric storage before the big clean-out, and Dearest had the three leftover grids and hooks, since they could make a fun garage or maze.
The grids, each twelve by twelve inches, really can't contain much besides clothes or towels. Holes are huge ! So the two ‘crates' have been sitting around, nearly unused.
But with one of the Undercover Crate slipcovers, one'd make a great storage box for Nerf guns and the three types of bullets that they use. Lightweight, easy to tote and carry, and even the smallest projectile or piece can't slip out. I explained what I'd to do Dearest, who seemed interested, but probably doesn't quite get why Momma's so excited about a crate liner. I'm hoping he'll use it to keep all this junk off the floor !
Beloved Hubby's left it to me to decide where we're going for dinner. Wonder if I can talk him into that Chinese buffet place across town ? They have sushi...
