Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!
Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
You could make distressed or shabby chic toddler keepsake height charts with tiny spaces for photos and journalling.

ReplyDeleteDo you have enough to weave together to make a bag? (for knitting or sewing).

Hiding this pic from my 4 year old. He has an obsession, lol. Have a good christmas Helen x
ReplyDeleteI can see why you rescued them, although I wouldn't know what to do with them either!
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether they would sew together to make a bag or case for knitting/crochet needles?
ReplyDeleteSometimes rescued lovelies need to sit for a while before you know what you really want to do. Have fun deciding!

ReplyDeleteloved the height chart idea!
A shop in my town called paperweight used to sell belts and wallets made out of these tape measures sewn together, so when my work got some coloured ones in, I immediately wanted to make some!
