Now dont laugh but to help get my mojo back i decided to make myself a stubbie holder lol ok its not really but it does go around my can, did you know that 1 empty softdrink can will hold $600 of $2 coins so i've started my money can and its to only be used for fibery goodness, that way i'm not spending money that i shouldnt and who misses $2 here and there, I'm up to almost $50 now. This is cut from another piece i wet felted a while ago and i just added a few small beads and some nice big glass beads for the edge, plus as this is actually a beer can ( we dont drink soft drink) it covers it up nicely Attachments:

That looks great, Kaz When I first saw Stubbie holders on telly, I thought they were just a ploy to hide the beer brand so advertising rules weren't broken!

Thats a great idea. I have them for my reusable water bottles. to keep things cold longer in the summer. I made one for my hubbies beer bottles too.

That's great Karen - what a good idea to save money for fiber by saving your change.

Americans sometimes get puzzled at the words used for items in England and Australia. I had to read down a bit to figure out what you were talking about here. lol

To me a stubby is the old style bear bottle that had a short neck. I don't think my kids have ever seen one so I guess I am showing my age. They were all that way by law when I was a kid.

Stubbies are similar to that here, Ann--smaller, often a bit fatter than regular sized bottles. They became popular again in the mid 90's. We get puzzled by you Americans too, Judy

To corrupt a famous saying, we are three countries divided by a common language!
I like the stubbie holder Karen - very pretty.

Well, I am always on a learning curve. I can't understand the stuff my grandchildren put on Facebook half the time. Yes, I wrote to an artist in England once and was kidding with her about something or other. She got insulted. So I had to rethink everything that I wrote from then on. Found out that Cheeky means sarcastic. (I guess)

It can be tricky sometimes. Its hard to convay the tone in email.

Oh i forget that not everything means the same to everyone lol sorry Judy if someone is cheeky 90% of the time to me it usually means more of a fun loving rascal , but it also can mean a cheeky brat lol , which we dont like

I am sure that she interpreted my teasing as being a brat. Glad you cleared that up for me. I have been more thoughtful since then. I think that the Australians actually like me to be Cheeky. When I tease them, they give it right back and then some. lol
