Ideas, ideas, ideas

So what can you do with an old wool sweater you ask?


Here are just a few clever ideas I have found and think are just charming.

Pillow, Purse, Journal, Booties, Basket, Cupcake pin cushion, Mittens, Hats, Coasters, Drink Sleeve (my mom is determined to make this one...who knows it may just replace her sock sleeve that she currently uses).

Now that you have the ideas flowing, start thinking about who you can give this lovely gift to. Do you know anyone who is having a baby? Do they need your adorable booties? Anyone with a new home? Would your handsome pillow look great in someone’s new house or apartment? I think you get the point. So put your thinking caps on and start crafting!

I absolutely love the tea cups! I have so many ideas! I think I know what I want to do. Amy, you know me too well. I love the sweater and it will be hard for me to give it away!
