Orange You Glad Hop

 


I'd like to thank CARLA for hosting this fun HOP.  I don't use a lot of orange nor have a lot of orange in my stash so this was a push for thinking outside the box.  I like those kinds of pushes. 


With Christmas Season fast approaching, I went to my 'go to' patterns for a little fun.  This crayon roll up pattern can be found HERE and are great to use up scraps.  Pair them with a coloring book or activity book and you have a nice little gift with hours of fun.


Another scrap eater and quick project is the 'wristlet' pattern found 
HERE.  I usually put on the clip off wrist strap - to double as key chain, but I couldn't find my hardware so made an attached strap.


Don't fear zippers, they aren't that hard and this tutorial has great visual for the process.  Fill you little purse with some personal touch items and you have another quick gift.

Please be sure to visit all the participants:

That crayon wrap is a great gift. Hope you aren't floating away again from Fred. We were on the western edge, so it rained all day, but not like in the southern tier where there is flooding today.

What fun and easy quick gifts. It's it strange the things we can't find right now? I looked all over for colored hook and loop tape and there was none to be found. I'm guessing it's a Covid thing still.
Thankfully attaching the wrist strap was a great solution!

It is amazing what we can do when "pushed" along from our comfort zones. Love the crayon roll up and other nifty gifts.

Glad (as always) that I stopped by. Our guild is doing a collection of goodies for a local womans shelter and I'm thinking those little crayon holders and some coloring books will make a great addition to the boxes and maybe a couple of zip bags with a goodie or 2. Thanks for the ideas.

Nice projects. I can't decide on which is my favorite. The crayon roll, or the wristlet.

Hello Everyone I want to quickly use this medium to share a testimony on how i was directed to a Legit and real illuminati member who have transformed my life from grass to grace, from being poor to a rich woman who can now boast of a healthy and wealthy life without stress or financial difficulties. After so many months of trying to to be a member of the illuminati and was scammed the sum of $3,000 i became so desperate in being a member online who will not add to my pains, then i decided to contact a friend of mine who recently became a member, we discussed about the issue and to our conclusion she told me about a man called Paul mark who is the grand master in the whole of Africa. So i applied to become a member of illuminati easily without stress and all the preparations were made concerning how to become a member in two(2) days i became a member and the sum of 1.5 million dollars was deposited into my bank account so i want to advice any one who wants to become a member should call him +2349130700648 or WhatsApp him +2349130700648 or email (illuminatiworldoffamous@gmail.com) he does not know am doing this i pray that lucifer will bless him for the good things he has done in my life.
