I'm slowly getting my Mojo back & decided it's time to jump into Misi's weekly display chain. This week's theme is A Crafting Secret Exposed.
Because I was goofing around on Pinterest again this evening, I have no pics to share, but I do have a tip to share.
So here goes:
Tip #1 I learned this years ago & it still comes in handy. To stuff small dolls or parts such as fingers & toes fill a drinking straw with fiberfill. Stick the straw down into the part to be stuffed & push the stuffing out of the straw. I use a small wooden skewer to get the stuffing out of the straw. It works wonders.
The other thing I would love to share is always take some hand work with you when going to appointments such as the doctor or dentist. While waiting to be called in, pull out your project & get to work. You'll be amazed at what you can get accomplished.
Thanks to Misi for hosting the weekly chain. Hop on over to see what "secrets" others have posted or to join in.
Have a great night~Becky

I don't sew, therefore, don't stuff arms/legs, but I'm sure that tip is very helpful to many!!! I can imagine that could be a tough job without some helpful hints like your's..... I do bring along my cross-stitching projects with me to pass the time while waiting at appts. ... it really makes the time go by faster, and you can get a lot done!! TFS!
becky,
Really OMG!!! A straw... never would of thought of that! what a great idea!!!... When mom was ill and I was attendign many appointments with her... I always had a basket with things to create, you are right, I did get many things done during that painful waiting time! OLM
