So, I'm back. With a new resolution. I have an entire closet full of craft junk. It's totally embarrassing. I buy the supplies to make a craft--thinking I'll make ten--and only finish one. So, 2012 is the "USE IT OR LOSE IT" year. The craft stuff I don't use up this year, I'm sending to the thrift store...coffin-sized bin of flannel included. After all, that's where today's project began.
I saw these adorable pin cushions using old wool sweaters and was unfortunately in need of a pin cushion at the time.
SO, I went to the thrift stores for the next couple months and instead of buying enough for my one perfect pin cushion, I bought a box full of other people's old used sweaters...among other things.
Yes, I made a pin cushion...6 to be exact. They are sitting in my craft closet if you want one.
I decided that box was the perfect place to start. So I looked on Pinterest to see if people were doing cute things with felted wool sweaters, and sure enough! I whipped out my sewing machine during Avery's morning nap and voila! <--I just google'd that. I was going to spell it wha-la, and Brian totally made fun of me. That's the last time I ask him for help!
A pair of slippers Avery totally loves! She wore them all day calling them her "boots."
Here's her boots and her hat. I love her.
These bad boys went over so well for Avery, Brian asked for a pair. I mean, was I REALLY going to use THAT ugly sweater in a pin cushion??
