Two Things Tuesday

Thing One: Something ELSE with fake wood design. This is from Sabineadesign on Etsy. Super cool fake wood ring...made of steel and copper??! Awesome! If only I could go back in time, say, almost 10 years to when my hubby and I were picking out rings and see this!! Ah well...coulda, shoulda, woulda....




Thing Two: Japanese Masking Tape?? I have never seen anything like this...but then, I haven't exactly been looking for it either. These are from Downtown Fabrics, also on Etsy. So many things from Japan are cool...why is that?? Alls I'm sayin' is that would be one fancy moving box...
Ok, for real though, I'm thinking a plain, white box with some of this on it would be a pretty spiffy wrap up for a birthday gift. What else could this be used for?? It says scrapbooking in the description...but I'm sure there are like a million ways this could be used. Wonder what people in Japan use it for? Probably something totally cool...

PS-- I am about to go on a serious sewing/repurposing binge. I have 2 projects in the works and about 5 more swirling around in my head. It is supposed to rain all weekend so that will probably keep me inside and busy at the sewing table...yippee!!
