Warm Cozy Mittens...

So I finally did it... I've always wanted to try making mittens from old sweaters.  Since this year started off with some sewing time so I thought I needed to try some items on my crafting bucket list and not just things on my other bucket list.  I started gathering old sweaters and trying to figure out what was a good sweater to try etc... I even had an office coworker donate a gorgeous shrunken sweater to my cause.  As a result I have a basket full of sweaters in my craft room, fabric from sewing projects and scrapbooking all happening at once.  Hard for me as it not organized and pretty anymore but I am happily creating things.  





These home made mittens are awesome. They fit so nice and are so much warmer and more comfortable than store bought.  Guess what this pair is made out of..?


Christmas 2020 album is completed !

Loved this Authentique paper this past year and made more than one project with it. Since we are home dealing with the Corona Virus I got my album done ahead of time.  Working from home has been a challenge but getting to craft at night is a great outlet for me.
