{sew excited}

I made a card today that serves dual purposes.  A two-fer, if you will.  :)  The current challenge over at Moxie Fab World is a "I'm Sew Excited" challenge.  The challenge is to use an icon associated with sewing on your project.  I finally came up with a way to use the mini wooden bobbins my buddy,Val sent me!  :)  I love them and they have been sitting on my desk since I received them.  I incorporated
them into a mini banner on a very small cross stitch hoop.  Both of which make me
happy.  :)

Congrats

Here is a close-up:

This card also got added to the Gallery Idol Flickr Gallery today. Dual purpose, remember?  :)

Happy Sunday, friends.  Hope happy finds you today!
