Adorable New Quietfire (…sigh)


Oh Blog friends!  I’m in heaven.  I just got some new rubber from Quietfire and I’m a happy, happy camper.   I paired these two heart tuggers up for a quick and sweet giftlet.  Hmmmm….I think I made that word up but you get the gist.   They were easy to make, in less than an hour, and very inexpensive  . . . yup, giftlet!!   Both go off to a sweet little friend of mine.  It’s always nice to have a little one that you can get away with making things for, but they could just as easily end up on her mom’s desk.  The newest Quietfire addition is the Piglet Sidled Up To Pooh sentiment.  I also used the Sometimes Said Pooh sentiment, which I’ve reached for many times over the last year, for many occasions.

Here’s the low down.  I knew the Piglet Sidled Up to Pooh sentiment was coming, so I purchased these two frames at Michaels in anticipation of the new rubber, and of course during a sale.   To make these, I wrapped 7/8″ ribbon around the photo mats that came with the frame, securing them with tape.  (Just a note:  7/8″ ribbon was perfect for these frames, but I knew I would have to experiment around  –  once I wrapped without taping and the ribbon met – edge to edge – I knew I had the right ribbon.)  Lastly, I added some foam tape for a little bit of depth, a quick peg bow and a flower.

Hello, can you see me the next time I don’t have a birthday present and need to pull something together quick, lol?


Are they cute?  This took virtually no thought, which I might add is working for me well today since I’ve got my mind wrapped around some other things.   I appreciate you all and hope you are having a delightful day!

I love Pooh & Piglet and that saying is so wonderful. I saw Winnie the Pooh is coming back to the movie theater this year. Such great timing from Quietfire. A friend of mine just found out she’s going to be a Grandmother. I believe I’m going to have to steal this idea. Thank you again for being so generous with your talent.
