Experiment

Yesterday some friends came for lunch and my dear Dodi brought a Soule Mama book...It really is a great read. This woman has a great vibe to her. She is simple and very Earth Mama but I love this perspective. The thought of living simpler and reusing always calms me. Goodness knows I am not even near enough to being Earth friendly but....I keep trying.

So, I do recommend the book.

I didn't try any of the projects in the book yet- I may try to make a hat tonight out of a very old sweater... but I did do this.

I took this old sweater of kate's that was in the donate pile.

And I made this....
I am happy with it...it is of course not as structured as I would like and a bit too homemade looking but it is a start. I have a short attention span for projects and work too quickly and as many know- in a messy way.

But, this is a start- I only used materials from my stash and I feel victorious.

Now, to find some more old sweaters and think about some specials I could make for Kate and Rob for Christmas morning.

Have a great weekend.

p.s. Cutting the sweater was oh so awesome.....I can't wait to "repurpose" other stuff. It brings thrifting and "garage sale ing" to a whole new level.
