Wine Glass Coasters/Holders!

I should probably start by saying that this pattern was given to me by one of my mummy's lovely friends! But that I think its possibly one of the best ideas I have ever seen in my life. Seriously forget the tv, everyone needs these in their life.

Now one thing I've noticed since I've grownup (yes I have grown up I have the child to prove it) is that adults love wine! you wanna know what adults also like? Stealing each other drinks by "accident"....

"oh I'm sorry I down your full glass of wonderful tasting rose, that definitely had your lipstick marks on..... I must have thought it was mine! I'm sure there's still some of that red that tastes like paint stripper left."

Yeah adults are crafty..

Adults also seem to hate coasters, not at first! The first glass its all where are your coasters isn't your home lovely but after that second glass kicks in the very idea of coasters becomes foreign.

which is why these bad boys are so awesome! not only do they help you to distinguish between who's drink its who's! they also eliminate water rings! They are basically magic!

See they just hook onto the bottom of your glass!

They travel with your glass!

and if you make them all different, everyone know who's glass is who's!

Here's a few that are up for individual sale on my etsy page!

And here's a Christmas set I've made as an order! (these are all a little but different so you can tell who's wine is who's!

But I also do full matching sets, this particular bunch is plain red!

And the best part these can be used as regular coasters too! (that's not to say that most men wont just plonk their beer can down on the first available surface!)

When bad crafts happen to good people...

I'd like to sit here and pretend that the sewing and knitting gods smile on everything I make and that everything's perfect. But that would be a massive lie, since I've started blogging i would say at least 30% of my projects don't make it to the blog purely because they go hideously wrong. 

Now over the last week I've been feeling a little low (I think I was just tired after everything that's been going on) but seen as I'm feeling a bit more sparkly at the moment I thought I'd try and put a smile on everyone's face , just in case someone out there is feeling similar to how I felt last week. 

Right so on with the giggles, just before the craft fair, after a glass of wine and a browse on Pinterest, I decided I needed a stuffed toy for the fair, something for the kiddies. I decided to do a bunny rabbit complete with ears and tail, the wine in me decided my quickly knocked up pattern was fine and the optimist inside me (who was also on the sauce) thought it was all a wonderful idea. 

This is what came out.... 

Needless to say I immediately private messaged an image to my mum and sister and some rather blue jokes followed. 

Yes it looks like something from Ann summers and if you can't see that, your more innocent than I am! 

I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's easy to believe that the people behind the blogs we read actually have these perfect little lives , free from drama and mistakes. But that's not true. Not everyone makes perfect projects everytime , so if you do screw up, please don't feel bad! 

I hope my little rabbit gave you a good giggle , I'm still not sure how I managed to produce something so rude looking from such lovely foral fabric! 

Much love
