When It Rains I'll...

This is a 2-squares star I did for the Anything But Square trade.

I honestly was not thinking about it but I guess its kind of

a pun on the square when you put two squares together
they make the shape of a Star of David. I appliqued this

little girl over a year ago but could never find the right

thing to put her on. I love the glittery rain fabric for

the background. After I stitched around the two squares

and joined them together I placed a yoyo in the right hand

corner to symbolize the sun. The bead in the middle was

made with batting and angelina. Oh my it stunk when I

used a heat gun on it. Now I know what they mean about

fumes from products you apply heat to and you definitely

want a well ventilated room or to do it outside. I hope

the recipient of this little star likes her. After typing this I

am reminded of a saying I heard as a child growing up: "When the sun is shining and its raining the devil is beating his wife." I never could figure out what that meant. Any ideas!!

I am working hard to finish commitments and UFO's I have had in my room. They were stuffed away under, in and who-knows-where. I am working on my sewing room since my son moved out. I get the spare bedroom back to use for my room. Or as Noelene called it "Dove's Nest". Boy I sure hope I can lay a few golden eggs, if you know what I mean. Have a great day and "Create something for 2008."
