Have we already talked about your jukebox??

:joy:

I don’t think so, but I’m always happy to! Haha. It’s a 1978 Seeburg Disco; the last model they made that takes 45s. I bought it just prior to my wedding because we prefer older music and didn’t want a DJ. It cranked out the tunes all night, and now gets turned on for the occasional party or dance break.

Here’s an shot of its current look, from the summer. Sadly it spends more time as a shelf than a juke these days!

Day 6 from @mel! Admittedly I’m not totally sure what it is, but my first thought was a hand towel to loop on my apron ties, since it’s got a slit in the top. That would be seriously handy! Please tell me if I’m wrong. :joy:

I’m gonna loop that baby on my apron, stat!

Too funny that we both made belt loopy type things for today. :slight_smile:

When you said you liked “trees and nature” I went to the fabric store with something very different in mind – but I thought the desert fabric was too unique not to grab. I hope the pouch works well for you! I trialed it a number of times and was never quite happy with the size, or the way it hung, or what have you. Then when I was finally happy with it, I panicked about sewing a button hole (never successfully done it before!) and used the snap clasp instead. Hahaha. New Year’s resolution: sew more button holes.

Also, I love those assemblage magnets from @Lynx – what a super cool idea. I’ve been working on “Stuffball”, a broken disco ball that I’ve been gluing things to for awhile now… but those mini assemblages are awesome, and seem like a much more approachable project. Gonna have to tuck that idea in my pocket!

Thank you! It was a kit that I found at Michaels. I cut it out out with an Exacto knife. I used a portion of this template for the paper ornament I gave @photojenn earlier in this swap.

Day 5 from @GeekyBookworm !
Lots of mini art canvases. Love the color palette. I think centaur and baby is my favorite. There’s also a centaur, goblins, and magic trees.

BUTTONNNNNNNS!!! I love these! Seriously, it’s ridiculous how cool I think buttons are! I’ve been a fan of them since I was just a little wee thing.
