    Recycled Sweater hats



    I picked up this sweater at a garage sale over the summer for $1.

    I didn’t like the way it fit but did like the pattern. Last year I saw a tutorial on making hats from sweaters…wish I could credit them but I can’t remember where I saw it.

    I ended up with two hats. I like the square one with the little tassels the best. The braided tassels I made from some black yarn I had laying around.

    I still have a bunch of sweater left…I’ll have to do some experiments. Maybe ornaments for the tree? Who knows but I’ll post anything that is successful.

    New Pendant


    Last month I won at BINGO on ABC and received a fabulous package from Marie.

    In the bottom of the cigar box there was a lone earring. I immediately fell in love with it…I like sparkly things!

    What’s a girl to do…why, make a pendant, of course. I simply removed the french hook and put a jump ring in it’s place.

    Recycled recipe book


    My old recipe book started falling apart. Not structurally but the paint finish started coming off. It was driving me crazy so I needed a new solution.

    I scavenged the 3-ring binder mechanism from the old one and combined it with the cover off an unwanted cookbook.
