Planner Bookmark

I'm sharing my latest planner accessory made using Crafty Ribbons supplies... I've taken a couple of big buttons, 3 inches of elastic and some of my favourite ribbon; grosgrain Swiss dots .  I chose the ribbon and buttons to match the front of my Pirongs planner. I attached the stripey button to one end of the ribbon with a few stitches of blingy old thread.  On the other end of the ribbon, I attached the spotty button and the loop of elastic.  Then simply wrap the ribbon around the planner and hook the stretchy loop over the stripey button.  I also added a length of the same ribbon to the spiral binding using a larks head knot to use as a bookmark. The buttons I chose are 34mm wide and you can find them here and here . Thanks for stopping by!

mug hug

Are you feeling a bit chilly?  Grab a hot chocolate in your favourite mug and wrap it up in a hug! It's fairly easy to whip up a mug hug.  I've used the sleeve of an old denim/fleece sweater that had passed its best.  I've decorated with camper van ribbon from the Summer Festival range, spotty ric rac , and a couple of heart buttons . I tried to use ribbon for the button loops but failed (twice) and switched to elastic. Me in my Monkey World hoodie and my mug hug... you can tell I wasn't high in energy levels here as my nails are bare! Thanks for stopping by!
