Hot Friday

It is a stormy, hot and humid Friday here in Missouri.  My old Huskey dog is feeling the heat.  I am going to make her a cooling bandana this year.  I saw one in a pet supply ad.  You make a cotton triangle bandana and sew a big hem around the edge.  You then put those water absorbing beads in the hem edge and sew shut.  Then you soak in water so the beads puff up and the evaporative effect cools the dog's neck.  We'll see how she goes for it. LOL!

I am checking sales info about mini albums today.  I wanted to see what the going prices were and if they were selling well.  I checked on Ebay, Etsy, and Zibbet.  On Ebay, there were a lot listed but few bids.  The prices were varied.  On Etsy, the prices seemed lower to me and there is no bidding, just set price.  Hard to tell about number of sales.  Same for Zibbet.

I did see many kits available.  This is a good thing for the beginner who does not have all the scraps and tools available.  They are reasonable in price and most have enough supplies to make more than one album, or at least have scraps left over.

I saw a pretty album that was sewn.  All the paper was stitched around.  Even the tags.  The paper might have been glued then stitched, but whatever way, it was really pretty and different.

There is no end to the imaginative ideas we can find on You Tube and around the internet.

Keep cool or warm, wherever you are, and have a good weekend!
