    Recycled Sweater hats

    December 23, 2008 - By 



    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.

    COLD!!

    December 22, 2008 - By 

    Every morning I’ve been waking up to find this at my front door.

    Today I made a draft stop to hopefully help…my only worry is that it will be froze to the door in the morning.

    The curtains in my son’s room and the ones on the patio door have both been froze to the 3M window kits we put on them. I can’t even imagine how cold it would be if they weren’t on!

    I filled the fabric tube with old towel scraps and used baggies filled with rice and beans. Last time I made one of these we had a cat so I had kitty litter laying around.

    New Pendant

    December 16, 2008 - By 


    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.
