Re-fashioned Sweater

I bumped into my friend Mira from Our Daily Minutiau

the other day and she had on a great re-fashioned sweater .

She gave me a few tips and inspired me to fix this cashmere

sweater I have been holding onto. Thanks Mira for taking the

scarey out of this for me :)

Yup! it was that simple. I laid out my best fitting sweater

trace, cut, sew!

Blog Design

Its that time of year agian.

I get brave enough to re-do/learn/get-frustrated

with the design part of blogging. NOT my specialty.

I decided to search for some freebies. ShabbyBlogs

is where I landed. They have some wonderful graphics

and thier directions were fairly easy to follow. They also 

recommended Fotoflexer where you can do all sorts of great

 things with your photos!  I may have to do some experimenting.

I-Spy-Swap

UpDate!

This is the fabric I found for  the swap

 

I made it into an I-Spy-Swap! 

Lorelei at Midnight Maker is hosting 2 I-Spy-Swaps

( they are both now full) I thought I missed out

on yet another one, BUT I submited my name anyway

and I made it in as an alternate.

Hooray!

Here is a flickr group of all the fabrics in the Swap. 

Below are a few of my favorites

Lil' House

I was inspired partially by Scandinavian-Stitches

(which I do not own but have drooled over many times,

thanks to the local library and loitering in JoAnn's book section).

And  This  picture I found on Pinterest

 I would love to make a whole passel of these for

Christmas next year. Stitch my peoples names

over the door? Would be cute hangin' on the tree?
