At 3:52 p.m my time today, one comment was published. I was overjoyed. However, that joy was quickly dashed when, after publishing this post, I couldn't get another comment in the queue to publish. When I tried to reinstall Firefox, I got the message that Firefox is up to date, and it wouldn't let me reinstall it. I am once again sorry, but I seem to STILL be unable to publish my comments.
Welcome to another edition of T Stands For Tuesday.
Now it's time to recycle some felt.
I have several pieces of felt that were left over from previous projects. Some of the pieces are quite small.
Using various objects to draw circles around, I cut five circles.
I cut two of the largest circle because the black circle is the one that will sit on a table.
I stacked the circles on top of each other and tried to match the center lines as equally as possible.
Did
you think I would miss an opportunity to create something with my wonky
sewing? I began in the center and worked my way around the smallest
circle.
Then I worked my way outward.
I used different variegated thread on the two sides.
It was time to see if this prototype design would work from a functional standpoint.
It seems to work fine with a cup
and
a mug, too. This is day 18 of 22 leading up to bEARTHday and I
recycled bits and pieces of felt left over from other projects.
Now it's your turn. The rules are extremely simple.
Your drink related post may be anything
from a photo of a
glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink. You may choose to share a sketch or a digital,
hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered
book. Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography. You might
choose a postcard or decorated card. Or
perhaps
you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book. It makes no
difference as long as it's drink related. And don't forget that the
more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it. Please tie
it back here, and
please link only to your T post, not your entire blog. When you link,
Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit. Bleubeard
would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time,
even months ago, if you choose.
This post was originally published in April, 2017. For 2026, this is Day 21 of 22 leading up to bEARTHday. Thank you for visiting today. Your continued support has kept me going and I am extremely grateful. Bleubeard is, too.
...I need to get around to it!
ReplyDeleteGood for you. I hate to throw anything else and I love when I get to reuse something in another project!
ReplyDeleteGreat
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I love all the colors. And I love the fun stitching too. I hope you have a super T day and have a great start to the new week. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteYour coaster is adorable. I wish I could sew. But when I finally get the machine threaded, it just breaks the thread, or I can’t get the tension right! Ugh! Happy TDay, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteOh, my Singer sure shouts at me... great project!
ReplyDeleteFelt is an excellent fabric for coasters, but I never thought of using it. Thanks for the inspiration ♥️♥️♥️
ReplyDeleteloving your repurpose project
ReplyDeleteThat's a great coaster. (I don't think I remember it, but then it was a long time ago)

Lisca

Dear Elizabeth, that's a delightful recycling idea – your coasters look great too.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're having "failed to publish" problems again!
And I'm sorry I'm only getting back to you now. We unfortunately have a serious illness in the family, so everything is taking me longer...
All the best from Austria

I LOVE your coaster, Elizabeth! Great wonky stitching with variegated threads. Beautiful! Hugs, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI can't get the pics to load. Sorry. How frustrating for you. I'm having a lot of tech issues too. I feel I've said exactly this to you before...ha!
ReplyDeleteFirefox troubles are the absolute worst, especially when you're just trying to share some joy in the comment section! It’s so frustrating when the "up to date" message blocks a clean reinstall. Hopefully, a quick cache clear or a different browser might let those comments through soon.
