A fun afternoon fobbing!

This afternoon my friend Sonja came over so we could make some gifts for our friend who's birthday is in April. Since she never looks at the blogs, I can share the fobs we made. I ordered scissors from France. These are the art deco style scissors and I think she is really going to love them.


We decided to make four fobs for her from both of our bead and charm collections. We feel like we had a gift ourselves in the fun of creating these. We love doing things like this together.


When we were done, I suggested to Sonja that we make her a new fob. She wanted to make one for her cell phone. Look how cute this is!

Thanks Sonja for a fun afternoon and lets do it again really soon!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone! Are you wearing green???

Yes I am, but not the bright green that is proper. I love all the fobs. Soooo cute. Very lucky Jannie. Sonja's phone fob is cute too.
Love you, Mom

Yes, I wore green but it was in a necklace my brother gave me from Ireland - so that counted :) Ben and Zack were clad in their greenery. Those fobs are great and what a clever idea for the phone, to dress itup!

To answer your question on my Blog, Heidi - the backing fabric I used for spring tyme sampler is the same fabric from my MY LOVE FOR YOU SAMPLER pillow on my website. I had a bit of it left and the coral type color was perfect for this one!

Hope your weather is springy today. It's a wet day here.

I am leaving this comment the day after St. Pats but yes, I wore a green blouse all day.

Your fobs and fancy French scissors are beautiful, I am sure they will be a very happy birthday gift for your friend.

Love you, Mom

OMG I just love these fobs. I'm not sure if you have ever done a tutorial on how to make these - I should really read back - but it would be a great to know how to do this. These would really make such wonderful little gifts for myself, LOL or others.

Happy Easter - Karen

The fobs are so cute . I like the idea of having one on the phone too.

What beautiful scissors.

I had a look at all the quilts you did and are working on. Such talent. Quilting scares me, all that cutting...maybe an oops can ruin things. You are a brave woman.

I love the card and the gift you received. hmmmm candy yummmm !!!
