We did quite a lot of creating during the summer holidays...
With two children with type 1 diabetes in the house, we get through a LOT of blood testing strips. Ours come in little plastic pots, and we end up with at least 10 empty pots per month. We decided to try decorating a few to use as containers for beads. We hot-glued ribbon all round the sides, and made a ribbon bow with a button on the top to glue to the lid.

We made our first attempt at making those squiggly ribbon bows known as "korker" bows. Little girl loved hers!
I managed to do another couple of squares for my Craftsy BOM quilt. This is the Dresden plate block.
This is the modern Dresden plate block. Next time I think I will do the stitching by hand, as I'm not very happy with this.
