I am so excited about my new
yardstick boxes!!
Two years ago I bought three yardsticks in the hopes of turning them into party favors for my Sweet Simplici"tea" but time ran short and I had to put the idea on the back burner. Yesterday however, I was finally able to mark this little project off my to~do list {YAY} and I am SO HAPPY with how they turned out! Ron actually helped me with them since I needed to use his tools to make the boxes. My part was mostly design and supervision while he was in charge of power tools and project construction. I have to say I did not come up with this cute idea. The inspiration actually came from a wonderful yardstick box my mother purchased at the Temecula Quilt Co. in Temecula , CA. I noticed it one day while I was in her sewing room and I had been wanting to make some ever since.
Happy Sunday!
Golly-Gee....they turned out great!! Looks as if you used up every scrap. They make a wonderful 'collection' to hold your treasures.
