Thursday's Treasure

~*~

Love is... finding something Valentine~ish to make with my new rainbow twine! 

Set of 5, $15.  Available in sosorosey very, very soon :)

Natty Neutral

~*~

I know, I know- it isn't exactly a new product for me.  I used the neutral colors in my rainbow pack to make this little striped bowl last night.  It's 3.75" by 2.75", and I'm thinking a person *could* use it for a plant.  My stitches are pretty compact, and you could even line it with a coffee filter before filling with soil.  Maybe rocky soil, for say, a little succulent.  I love that word.  Succulent.  Can you picture a little green something in this container?

For this week's project, I used some heavy duty natural jute twine.  500 feet of it to be precise!

~*~

Voila!  A tall clutter keeper, perfect for stowing kitchen utensils.  This was suggested by a customer, and I had my doubts about whether it would be stable with large items inside.  Turns out this baby is super steady- that's a full size set of salad servers and a heavy wooden rolling pin in there.  The keeper didn't even think about falling over with this load.  Jute is a miracle fiber!

We never lost power from Irene, and had only a few branches down in the yard.  Whew!  Hopefully this week will be free of natural (and unnatural) disasters around here.  It's the last week of summer vacation.  Mike starts a new job tomorrow, and Sophie and I get to go to her new school for an Open House on Friday.  We're all heading up to Gettysburg over Labor Day weekend for a last hurrah with my folks.   I'll pick up my remaining items from The Muse on the way, so be on the lookout for new goodies in sosorosey soon!  Hope your last week of summer is a great one!!

Makeover Monday: 11/2

I used this entire ball of twine last night to make...

A jute wine bag! Or a t*wine bag...hehe. I REALLY love the way this turned out. Not only is it an awesome way to wrap your gift, but it is actually functional long after the wine is gone. Fold the top over and you have a natural fiber clutter keeper of adjustable height, perfect for keys & cell, seashells, soaps- you name it.

I know how much I will charge for these in my shop, but I am super curious as to what you would think it should cost. Without knowing the time it took or the cost of materials, what's your *best price* for this item? I promise to come back and tell you the real price later this evening once I've had a few comments...
