The good, the BAD and the UGLY
I saw these rings on another girls blog and thought, oh what a great way to use up some old fabric scraps! Plus, how fun for little Owen to hold onto and suck on. Should be a breeze....

Let me just tell you, this was the WORST project ever!

The cutting and the sewing were easy. Then came the stuffing....next to impossible, and I consider myself somewhat patient. THEN just try, just TRY to stuff one end into the other and sew it up!!! I was so MAD and frustrated. I think she used a machine, but mine were too stuffed, so I had to resort to hand sewing...not something I claim to be good at! I even had my dear husband hand stitching with me to try and ease the tension (he showed me up by the way, surprisingly good at hand sewing :) )
You want to know what I ended up doing at 12:45 at night (after fighting with these little rings for 2 hours)?! I used a HOT GLUE GUN! They look awful, absolutely horrid, but they're DONE.
To top it off, Owen can barely hold onto them and he really has no desire to suck on them.
I guess not all ideas are great.
