It was a wonderful weekend full of family, food, laziness and craft time. I was writing a letter yesterday and forgot what the date was. I don't think that has happened to me in a really long time. I'm usually quite on to of my dates and to-dos...but this past weekend wasn't about that at all. I had my opening weekend with a musical and got to catch up with family, friends and craft time.
My nieces and I had an awesome time cutting up sweaters and making something new out them. Who would have thought people were this crafty!Ugh...utterly disgusts me how creative people are...so a friend and I thought we'd give it a try and somehow I dragged my nieces into it!
We had the best time making these. Were we expecting perfect mittens and hats?...well maybe...did we reap those results? HA! no :) However, it was fun and sure, they may look alittle odd but that's what craft time is about.
The trick to these hats and mittens is getting the sewing part down. You have to turn them inside out to sew and piece them together...and as I kept sewing, I started to wonder if this chaotic patchwork will amount to anything. It's not pretty. However, as I started to turn the hat or mitten back out for its normal wear, I was surprised to see that it looked somewhat normal. It's kind of quirky but it fits.
End results never quite match what you intended yet somehow...sometimes they end up being so much better than you ever thought.
Quirky kind of love,

PS. Those beautiful models are my adorable nieces. <3
