...yep, that's me!! :diva:

I'm 1/2 finished making one of these for my kitchen. It's my 1st attempt at such a thing, so I'm hoping it turns out well. I chose plaid fabric which is proving to be a pain, but I think it's going to turn out great. :clap:

Ya know, that'd make a great gift idea for someone who has "everything" ... for their office to display pictures on. My aunt, this year, knitted/crocheted (whatever it is) various things for all of us ... scarves, shaws, etc. It was by far a great gift! Something I can use AND from the heart. :dance:

I'd like mine in burgundy and creme, please. :kiss:

Definitely a super gift idea! :yay:
You could make 'em for your family throughout the year and have 'em knocked out by Christmas, no sweat! My aunt said she crocheted those items for us in about 4 hours each here and there. I'm DEFINATELY looking for something like that for my family for next year. Everyone pretty much has everything and they're hard to shop for, or you get the "don't buy us anything" response. But no one can turn down something hand made AND functional. :yay:

Well, except that ugly thing one of your relatives made that accidentally blew away at the other house, of course. :whistle:

It took me just over 2 hours, but I wasn't 100% focused on it, either. It could easily be knocked out in about an hour or hour and a half, I'd say. Oh, and the plaid fabric took a bit longer for me b/c I had to be careful about matching up. The shape of the board also made the ribbon placement more tricky than it would have been had I used a square board.
