Hi all!

Here's to my second posting!

I've been cleaning out the closets here, and it's time to get rid of some previous crafts.  I got married in 2011, and made all my flowers for my reception.  It was a lot of fun at the time, definitely time consuming, but the costs it saved in real flowers was worth it.

Again, as I get into this whole blog thing, I'll get better about taking pics in the process, but pretty much this is a tutorial I followed to create my own flowers.   Fabric Flower Tutorial

I absolutely love the colors she uses in her tutorial!  Enjoy!

Alpaca Wool Slippers

Well here goes the first attempt at blogging.  I recently jumped on the refashioning train, and it has been a lot of fun!  I plan to get better at taking before and after pics, but here is the 'after' pic of a pair of men's house slippers I made.

I purchased an alpaca wool sweater from the thrift store, and felted it.  The interior of the slippers is cotton flannel, scraps from another refashion, and the sole is scrap leather that I have had FOREVER.

Padding for the sole was created with some felt and batting that I layered together.

Sizing with this was difficult.  Now that I have created my first pair, I will know better for the future.

Enjoy!
