I made some more paper beads this morning. I could make these all day if left to my own devices but that just doesn’t happen around here.
I also made up another “busy bag“.
I cut a denim slipcover from an old chair for the back and handles. The lining is cut from an old tablecloth that had a couple stains in all the wrong places.
I love recycling!!!!
I made a couple more “busy bags” this morning after the kids dentist appointment.
Between lunch and another appointment, I took our boy and a neighbor kid sledding to a near by, awesomely big and fast sledding hill. A photographer for the local newspaper was there snapping photos…we’ll have to wait and see if our kiddo makes the paper.
I’ve been so inspired by the Quilts & ATC’s blog. This wonderful woman is sew generous…I had to do it..sorry.
I have a ton of fabric and would love to put it use. I had been searching the web looking for local organizations that accepted small quilts for families in crisis, hospital patients or other charity when my friend, Andrea mentioned that her church was looking to put together some “busy bags” for the small children so use during church services. Their main sticking point was having to buy bags of the appropriate size. It was just meant to be…funny how things work like that. It’s also more meaningful to me since our daughter was Baptized in that church.
I think I was feeling like I needed a little warmth and sunshine. The flowers are fabric yo-yo’s.
The sentiment reads:
It’s the little things that make life Big.
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.
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.
With the cold weather settling in, I really was under pressure to get this one done.
She loves it and told me that it’s so snuggly warm.
