At times … all this 007 work gets confusing! I have spent the last three days sewing like a crazy Easter Bunny person, but can't share until after Easter. ;-)
Secret Agent Flicka is a professional … she loves to play "Hide n' Sneak"! Never a dull moment here in DillyDallydom! Cats don't understand our confusion … they always have everything under control and are never confused. Too fun … how I love this kitty!
So … let's see … I can't share with you what I'm currently working on, so I'll share what I was working on a few weeks ago, because I couldn't share it with you then. No wonder I feel like a fruit loop most of the time! ;-) Supplies for Camp Quiltathon … it is impossible to have a camp experience without plastic lacing, pipe cleaners, beads, dowels, and popsicle sticks.
It was my task to come up with table centerpieces that would identify each table by a color. Bud vases and beads were a beginning.
I am not a whiz at paper crafting … but card stock and paper was an especially quick way to piece our guild's Northwind block! Obviously, Flicka wasn't impressed with my paper crafting skills either! ;-)
Yep … the glue stick was much more interesting … it rolls around on the floor!
The message is quite clear … it's pretty obvious what Flicka thinks of my paper crafting abilities!
Eventually I finished two blocks in each color …
… attached them to a wooden dowel and into the bud vase they went. Yep … they look a bit naked.
Next … I moved on to name tags. Now here is a paper craft I should be able to handle!
Secret Agent Flicka thought these were great fun! Help like this is hard to come by!
I dressed those naked center pieces with pipe cleaners … it helped! And I made the camp directors hats to match their whistles. Yep … every camp director needs a whistle!
All camps begin their day with warm-ups … so we planned "Sewing Warm-Ups" for the beginning of each camp session.
I pulled out the very last of the Dilly Dally fabric I have. It was designed by Me and My Sister Designs. Gosh, how I wish I had bought more … I should have purchased bolts! Here are the remaining layer cake pieces I have left. (Insert a very deep sigh)
No … these are not panty liners! ;-) Hee-hee!
They're cord keepers. We all have these electronic devices and the cords can become a tangled mess!
These are fun to make and practical to use … the pattern can be found here.
My second "Sewing Warm-Up" was this sweet fabric box!
Once again … quick, fun, ...
… and useful!
Dress it up with some cute buttons … very fun! Pattern and tutorial can be found here. I have made several since … I keep finding uses for them! A great gift container too!
Whew! Am glad these dillydally efforts are finally unclassified! Agent Flicka is always on duty … she handles secrecy so much better than I do!

We had such fun at our Camp Quiltathon Retreat. Guild members provide me with so much inspiration. If you would like a to take a look go here, here and here! Have fun!
Do what you love. Go quilt camping. Do dillydally!

ReplyDeleteI wish my cat, Othello was as entertaining as Flicka. She just growls at me and wants fed. :)
