Sew Happy

Alright! Time for another one of my offity posts! Yes, I did some more "sewing" projects! I LOVE the craftaholics anonymous blog and wish that I had the time and recourses to do all of her projects, but when I came across this post on wrist warmers the other week I HAD to make some! They were just too cute. Not sure what I will use them for, but for the time being they are keeping my hands and wrists warm while allowing me to type, so, I count that as a viable use.

Off to Goodwill I went yesterday for 99 cent day looking for the perfect sweater to cut up and found one! I also found a fantastic men's jacket with these great buttons on it. So, without further ado, here they are! (Elli, YOU might like a pair of these. Got any old sweaters???)

Another great tutorial I played with today was also from craftaholics anonymous. This Zipper Daisy. Lucky me, I had 2 things ready to go TO goodwill that had great zippers on them, so I got to seam ripping and sewing and gluing and here was my end result. I am going to either get a great headband to mount it on, or make a broach out of it. At the moment I am sick and need to stay in in order to get well before Wed. SO, I will wait on that.
Hope you enjoy a "non-paper" post every now and again! Stay Crafty!
