What a big day it is today! Not only Veteran's Day, but also Corduroy Appreciation Day. November 11 has been the day to celebrate all things waled for quite a while, but this year is the supreme celebration day of 11-11-11. Such a once in a lifetime event demanded a party, but schedules demanded that we celebrate a bit early. We all wore our best (for some, only) corduroy garment and gathered for a bit of sewing and snacking. To emphasize the ll-ness of the day, we played a bit with Fickelsticks... those fabric covered wire "art sticks" from Diana Taylor's book "Fast Fun & Easy Fabric Fickelsticks". You can see the inspiration items in this picture, Diana's book on the bottom and a coiled paper basket at the top.
We used pipe cleaners instead of floral wire in our sticks, because... well, they were just more fun.
All snacks were corrugated and linear, but the hands down favorite were the cookie bars with grooved frosting.
Fun!
