Can You Spare Some Change?...

I could! I needed to change my medium in creating. Thought I'd work on a quick knitting project. I found this pattern on Joann.com. What a great thing to make is this knitting cup holder. I used scrap yarn and made everyone's favorite three colors as a tri-color and one solid color favorite. The one displayed is my husband's tri-color holder.




Me and my family have millions of pens, pencils, scissors, crayons, and knitting/crocheting needles that need an organized home. And besides, we also have the empty soup cans. Great way to help the environment and have eye-catching storage on display!

SEWed Up!...slippers

It's absolutely freezing for Florida. Temperature last night was 30 degrees and it will only warm up to 51 degrees today. B-r-r-r-r-r-r! Kids went back to school, after being home for 2 days (including the weekend). Now, I can breathe and finish some projects.

These slippers are so cute! I made them to fit a toddler. Not much fabric to use; 2 fat quarters. Felt for slipper sole; rickrack and a little bit of elastic for back. They fit my friend's daughter perfectly!

I will soon make a pair to fit an adult. Since adults are not carried much, I will sew gripper soles on the adult sizes. I am thinking of using blue jeans. We have several pairs that are recyclable. Gotta stay eco-friendly!

Until next time...

SEWed Up!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, I've started on my projects for this year! I had a great time going home for Christmas and being with my family!




This doll is for my second Godmother. I've named her Organica! Her body is made from a hibiscus print and her hair is chenille yarn. She even has pretty earrings! I think her name fits her exactly!
