Some coasters I made. There were 8 all up. Two gold and two silver beaded ones and four fabric ones that I sewed. The fabric ones are reversibe, black denim  (recycled jeans) and tan/beige on the other. The beaded coasters need to sit on a table cloth or the fabric coasters unless you want to send your coffee flying across the table. Imagine those shows where they'd slide a glass of beer down the bar to a bloke up the far end, that is what they did on my wooden table lol.

I saw beaded placemats in a furniture store similar to these selling for $20 each, and said to mum..."I could make them". I think it was at that very moment that I realised I was obsessed lol. So I went home, pulled out my bead stash and made the four coasters, then the fabric coasters for my sister for christmas. Once I'd finished them I didn't want to give them away. I had really fallen in love with the reversible coasters in particular. The bonus is that I have seen my sister using them instead of hiding them away, so I must've done alright. Even better, they didn't cost me a thing to make. I already had everything I needed hidden away in my many stashes so the cost of materials had already been written off years ago. But if I did have to put a price to the cost of materials, the beaded coasters about $5.00, and the fabric coasters about $1-$2.00. Cost on time....=O Priceless!

I really broke the purse strings on that project hey? lol   What do you think of them? Honest opinions only please, I'm a big girl, I can take it. =P


I'm off to snap some pics of my crocheted bride doll dress and drawn pattern then falling into bed.

Until next time
