This cowl is comfortable to wear. Last winter it was so warm that I didn’t get to wear any of my sweaters, crocheted hats, etc. So I thought: even if it’s warm again this winter, I can wear this lacy cowl.
Prompt: Zap 2 Team: So Corn-fused Project Name: dry erase marker cap vases Project Link: N/A Brief Description:
I bought dry erase markers at the 99-cent store a couple of years ago. The marker lids had magnets and erasers on them. I never got around to the dry erase board, though. So, when I finally opened the package a couple of days ago, naturally the markers were all dried up. I threw the markers away and flipped the lids over to use as tiny vases on the refrigerator door.
