Please Share the Love Have you ever bought something because you thought, I can make something with that? Or kept something because you thought, I can use that for a project? But had no clue what you could use it for? Well that's how this pretty little DIY Picture Frame came to be. I knew I wanted to make something with these simple rolled felt flowers that I saw on the net. I had these red and white felt Christmas tree skirts that had no purpose other than waiting to be used on some kind of project. The felt cried out to be made into roses so that is exactly what I did with the red felt.  Not wanting to leave the white felt out I decided to use it to cover the frame. Once it was assembled the frame looked a little naked. That's when I decided to grab the dollar store red doily which I purchased for just an occasion. Now I could have stopped here but I had to get those darling roses on the frame somewhere. After all it began

Please Share the Love Hi again. I thought I'd try another recycle project for the Creative Challenge . My last creation was called Magical Transformations which you can see HERE . It was whimsical, sparkly and pretty. Just what every princess needs. This week I'm making something I need. I know I can go out and buy something but what fun would that be. Besides I can make exactly what I want in a few minutes and say it only cost pennies. So here it is. My animal print pencil holder made from a pop bottle. And my granddaughters old skirt. And hot glue. It turned out perfectly. Exactly what what I needed. All my pens, markers and pencils fit. Supplies pop bottle sharp blade scissors hot glue gun fabric - I used and old skirt. This is how I made it. First I started by cutting an opening in the side of the bottle about an inch above the height that I wanted my finished holder to be. Then I used scissors to carefully make m

Hi there. Hope your week is going well.  I've been busy crocheting. The first project in a series of posts is this brilliant pink hat and mitten set. I've been wanting to make a pair of mitts for some time now and I finally got around to doing it.  Of course if I'm making mitts I have to make a matching hat. I started with the hat because I'm an old pro at making those now. I decided to dress it up a bit more by adding the grey stripes.The last row of the hat is single crochet row of grey and the upper level of grey is stitched on. HERE is the basic hat pattern. And the large flower pattern HERE . I did the same thing with the mitts and added one small flower to each one. This is the mitten pattern for a child`s medium.
