I get Artizen Magazine in my inbox. It is very artsy. I found some conical knit alien thingies in one of the recent issues and they reminded me of my rectangles. Remember those crocheted rectangles? The ones that I don't know what to do with?
Today I did something with three of them - something so simple and so commonplace that I am embarassed it took me so long to come up with this plan.
Thing #1:
My son called me today to tell me that I kept calling him. I was purse calling him, it appears. That happens when the outside pocket of my purse - where I put my cell phone - bumps against my hip as I walk and my phone calls someone. So, I decided to move everything to my Fall/Winter purse and I decided to make a cell phone cozy to protect my phone! So simple! Here it is.
Thing #2
My Fall/Winter purse is big. Actually, it is capacious! So capacious is this purse that more than once I thought I lost my wallet because it slid to the very bottom of the purse. I wanted to get something to hold my wallet and pens and my calendar and change purse - those things I need to find in a hurry. Rectangles to the Rescue!!
Those knit conical aliens were so cute, I wish I could make something like that with my rectangles. Hmmm, I must work on that.
They are cute! Great idea with the cell phone! :)
