Late again...

But here's my finished project this week. When I was a kid my grandmother's breakfast nook had a bench seat with storage inside. Every so often we'd beg to be allowed to take the lid off and dig through all the treasures in there. There was a set of tin individual Jell-O molds that we'd invariably wind up pulling out and pressing into service. Not that we even liked Jell-O much, but they did look so cool when you turned them out onto a plate. Not too long ago I found a set of molds at the Craft Antique Co-op in Greece and I had to pick them up. I really should have made Jell-O for the kids. Instead I made a pincushion with some velvet from a salvation army skirt. I filled the cushion with sand -- it has a pretty good heft to it...


Here's the bottom so you can imagine what your Jell-O would look like....

Quick and dirty...

And a late entry to boot...

This weeks project, a dishcloth using my favorite dishcloth pattern.




Yes, I have a favorite dishcloth pattern. Shut up.

Quick, easy, useful, I don't have to keep checking a pattern, I know what I'm going to do with it when I'm finished with the project -- it's a win on multiple levels.

In fact, it's already been used, and run through the washing machine. The only problem is that working with that cotton yarn is like knitting with mop strings. No tactile rewards there.
