I've never liked April Fool's Day....after 31 years in kindergarten, "the spider on your head" got pretty old. It's hard when you need to act surprised by every little person's trick.
Today is cleaning day. April Fool - you really didn't think I would clean unless I had too.
We had a wonderful day in Arlington yesterday with family at my brother and sister-in-law's home. They hosted Easter lunch for the family and there were extended family members from several branches there. Of course I forgot to take my camera.
Today I found a link to a pattern for a fabric basket.
Fabric Storage Bin
The designer makes them for baby gifts and puts diapers and baby wipes in them. I decided to make a couple to corral some of Emma's card making supplies. She has lots of paper stacks and punches.
They hold a lot of stuff. I think if I make any more, I will add some really stiff iron on interfacing to the lining. It would make them more stable. I picked up the fabric for these at Goodwill last week. There were a couple of valances made from 4 different fabrics and rick rack. Each fabric was right around a FQ size. I got each valance for $3. So basically 8 FQs for $6. This was nice cotton fabric. I bought it to cut up for quilting but the pieces were just the right size for this. The rick rack was easy to rip right off too.
