They Say...


...that the best things come in small packages. While I don't advise believing everything *they* say, I do hope this has a bit of truth to it!
~*~
From time to time, my Etsyfriends Team hosts a team Challenge- with prizes going out to some of the lucky voters. This time the theme is "Stocking Stuffers", and voting will go from Nov. 1-8. While I had the idea for these items a long time ago, it just hung in the wings, waiting for the right time to fly.

~*~
So, whether you're in the market for a stocking stuffer or Hanukkah gift, these are the perfect addition to any crafter's project bag or work space. The original, handmade tape measure cozy combines form and function; tape measure works with the cozy ON. Pull to desired length, press exposed button in the center to retract. Each one is finished off with a vintage button to ensure that it is a one-of-a-kind treat!
($12, tape measure included. Look for them in sosorosey next week.)
~*~
I'd love to hear what you think of my idea, and I'll be sure to remind you when voting has begun. Special note: due to a pumpkin patch field trip tomorrow, Makeover Monday will be delayed until Tuesday. Have a great week :)

Jennie, I am continually in awe of your creative genius. This is such a fantastic idea. I will be voting for you!

Christi Miller said...

Great idea and very nicely done Jennie!

Bridget said...

I love these. I want one. Are you making any with your fabric rather than yarn? Just asking.

Jennie said...

You all are so supportive- thank you!

Bridget- I hadn't thought of that, but I don't think so. The stitches on these are pretty small to keep the exact shape, and I'm not sure I'd enjoy trying to crochet such thin strips of fabric. I do appreciate the idea, though!

Oh gosh, your stuff just keeps getting cuter and cuter. I think there must be some kind of crochet angel that sits on your shoulder and whispers ideas into your ears!

Well, I kinda believe in what "they" say--I come in a very small package myself! Hee hee.
