Recently I saw a photo (Facebook? Twitter? Pinterest? Who knows. Too many social media outlets, lol!) of where someone had taken yarn and cross stitched on some wire mesh office accessories. I thought it was pretty neat, but didn't like the "chunky" look of the yarn they had used. I immediately decided this was something I needed to try, but with regular floss!
So this past week I made a
trip to the office supply store on my way home from work to take a look
around at what they might have. I settled on two different paper clip
bowls, a smaller and a larger one. I was in need of a break from the various orders & pattern models I've been stitching and decided these would be something "mindless" I could work on quickly. I was right. Each one of them took me a total of about 4 hours of stitching time; which included picking colors of floss, deciding on the pattern, etc.
I've included a few pictures below of the finished pieces, including one picture that shows various uses for the bowls. Now to just decide if I keep them or sell them? Hmmm...
