A "B" for Me

I love it when a craft I have planned turns out better than I thought it would, even if it is through an epic fail.  I originally started out with the plan to Mod Podge fabric scraps onto a plain B for the table top wreath holder my mother-in-law gave us a few weeks ago.  She gave us a Valentine's themed wreath to hang on it, which I did, but after the holiday I decided I needed to find something that could be "year round".

After my failed Mod Podge attempt where it looked like fabric threw up on my B, I moved onto wrapping yarn.  I didn't do a tutorial, because you can find these plastered all over Pinterest right now.  I added a ribbon for the hanger, hot glued under the yarn so it is hidden, and a felted wool flower I found at our local craft store majorly on sale (LOVE those finds!).  I love the color it brings to my room, all under $5 AND using up some scrap yarn I had no other ideas for! 

This is my first attempt at using dye on the stove top with acid dyes.
Love, love the blue. The orange turned out a bit mottled, but I actually like the effect. Not too shabby if I do say so myself, considering I really don't know what I'm doing when it comes to dyes.

These are three large wool interlock soakers for my growing little man still in diapers.

To craft...or to craft...

...that is the question!

I've had a laundry list of sewing on my "to do" list for awhile. I finally got to them...

A fleece pant/skirtie combo for my neice's Christmas gift:

Fishy slippers (wool, lined in fleece, with leather bottoms) for my son:

Cotton knit boxer briefs for my now potty-trained (yippee!) son:
And for our Hopefully Baby to be adopted someday...

Look how tiny these babies are!

And the knitting...

Small size Purewool 3 play longies. Love how the yarn decided to spiral down the legs. I'm one who believes in allowing pooling as you can see.
