Making my own stitch markers....

Too flimsy


Rings are too hard to use, and time consuming to use.  The lobster claw ones I have have fallen off before and are hard to get on and off.


 I do not like the ring stich markers, and the clasp ones are hard to get on an off when you need one for every row on a project that is small.





I decided to make my own using charms I already had on hand.  I love my craft supplies, and sometimes they actually come in handy ha ha!

I found these larger earring clasps which I love!  They work so much better than the lobster claw clasp.


The sky is very pretty this morning, but if I was a weather guesser, I would guess a storm is about to come thru later today.

Whacky Weather

 

The fog continues, and we will continue to be in the upper 70's, but wind and rain return.  I was hoping for rain to finish weeding the flower beds, but the wind could be up to 50mph (according to the weather man).

I'm getting a bit worried about the living room floor, but we'll know what we are dealing with soon.
