a few weeks ago i bought a sweater at salvation army. it ended up not fitting well, so i felted it. since then i have spent all of my crafting time cutting up that sweater to make endless projects. i have two softies that are nearly done and ready to be set aside for bee and henny for easter but the real fun has been making barrettes.
i have been learning to love hand sewing simply for it's ability to be done on the couch, maybe even watching old episodes of 90210 on the computer. one weekend i whipped up five barrettes, using basically this technique, a blanket stitch around the outside and sewing old buttons on to decorate and hold everything in place.
but then i couldn't stop. 
now i have about two halves of sleeves left and i'm pretty sure that i'll keep making these until they're gone. i have no idea what to do with all of them! bee has already claimed a couple, but i guess i may just save them for the holidays. won't that be some amazing forethought.
