Crafty Sideup: Word of the day-Ampersand ..... &.......

Ampersand -a punctuation mark (&) used to represent conjunction (and)

Never knew Shift +7 {(&)} was called 'ampersand' until today..(yeah go on.. call me illiterate)

Thanks to Caroline of C.W.Frosting for the lesson.
Her tutorial here taught me what an ampersand is & how to make one with zero cost. Check it out,I'm sure you'll go yarn hunting in your attic once you are done reading this.(Oh btw I din't have to go hunting, coz I knew exactly where it was -for once !!)

Its a perfect Engagement photo accessory...For me it was love at first sight & I'm soo gonna make it & even put it up on my wall & show off my yet another zero-cost project & so on & so forth...

I heart hemp,jute,yarn, burlap& I've always been inspired to make stuff using them..Just a sneak peek of 2 unfinished projects..

A lesson well learnt ....(I guess)
