You forget about how important the simple things in life are until you don’t have them. Like a toilet paper roll holder that is so wide the bar keeps falling out, taking your roll with it. This greatly impedes your routine. Then by removing the problem holder, you have no paper to use at all!

But then you feel a great sense of accomishment after replacing the broken item that is usually taken for granted, allowing you to go back to your daily routine, never having to think about it again.

Hooray for fixing the forgotten, everyday items that are normally overlooked. Hooray for toilet paper.

Iron Craft 46 - Handmade Holiday

I have been participating in the Iron Craft challenge all year. This week, I created this stocking decoration out of felt using the Allsorts template I found last year (Note that they had a white background and red decorations. I wanted to do something different!). I used stiff felt for the background so it is more of a decoration, not an actual stocking you can put things in. This is a gift for our new home! I love Scandinavian crafts, and lately I’ve been having fun with the Dala Horse, so I threw this together. I used sticky white felt for the decorative pieces, but I may have to glue them down since you can see that they are shifting a little. Overall, I think it turned out pretty cute!

To see all submissions for this week, visit the Iron Craft Flickr pool.
