Daddy Dearest
By Carolee Jones

So, yesterday was the day we honor dear old dad. My father lives a state away so unfortunately I wasn’t able to see him in person, but I did call him on the phone and we talked for about an hour. My dad is a special person in my life. He always encouraged my dreams and told me they were within my reach—which is significant, because some of my dreams were ridiculous.

I wish you all a happy Father’s Day and happy crafting!

Libby

Supplies:

- Medium-sized disposable diapers (I used 48 for this project)
- tall, empty can of powdered juice drink (the can used in this project is about 8.5 inches tall with a diameter of 5 inches) - clean, remove label and/or cover with a blank sheet
- white yarn
- photo paper (3 - 4 sheets, depending on width of border image)
- scotch tape, glue, stick
- circular cake pan or cardboard for the base
- assorted small baby stuff - pacifiers, rattles, baby bottles, baby shampoo, washcloth, baby nail clippers, a small book about babies, socks, etc.
- Hugware

Instructions:

Step 1. Cut 5-inch lengths of the white yarn equal to the number of diapers you have. Roll a diaper, keeping the design in if any, and tie with the yarn. Repeat until all of the diapers are rolled this way.
Step 2. Stand juice can in the middle of the circular base. Surround the juice can with rolled diapers (this forms the inner circle) and tie the diapers together with the yarn. Surround this inner circle with another circle of diapers. Again, tie with the yarn. These two circles of rolled diapers now make the base tier of the cake.

Top Tip:
A tip for making that dreaded chore of drilling holes in glass blocks, tiles, porcelein, and some ceramics. Just heat your hot glue gun up then take the gun and form a circle a glue a little larger than the size of the hole that you want to drill. Let the glue cool. Now take cool water and fill up the area making a small puddle. Now when you start to drill your holes, the water will keep both the glass and the drill bit cooler. Keep adding water until the hole is opening.

You can also line your sink with paper towels over a submersed piece of wood, and put in about 1/2" of water over them. Submerse your tile or glass slide, or anything that is FLAT. Make sure the whole piece is covered and then make sure that there is only enough water to cover the 1/2" of drill bit.

Hope this help anyone. I've used both tricks and they work. One more thing, when drilling micro glass slides, make sure you tape around the entire area being drilled and drill a bit on one side then turn over and drill the other side. Keep going til the hole is complete. When I put 3 or 4 tiles together (taping them all together) I felt like the hole I'd drilled was a bit cleaner.

What I Have Learned:
What I have learned is that it is imperative to have a backup of your computer...for more reasons than you know! A month ago, my computer was stolen! I have an external drive with all my information that was not taken...but if the thieves had decided to pick that up as well, all my photos would have been lost. Make cd's or dvd's, print them, back up online, keep them on zip drives do whatever it takes to make sure that you don't loose your precious memories!

About:
A friend lost a breast to cancer but thankfully she is still with us. She and an other survivor started "the Pink Ladies" as a local support group. It is going well and of course she sends out loads of cards each month. For her birthday this month all she asked for was some of my lovely cards. I was so glad to find the "pink cancer support ribbon" among some of the clip art that I had received from your wonderful company. I surprised her with 20 cards and envelopes all wrapped up. She was over whelmed with them. Attached is what I did on the computer, then I cut them out and layered this onto folded cardstock and put a verse on the inside also. On the back I printed out on the computer: Made especially for the Pink Ladies. I hope to make her some more each month.
