These just came off the needles over the weekend and are residing in the Christmas box....
- If you sew, there are tons of great ideas HERE for using things that you most likely have lying around the house.
- I rather like THIS but don't know if I'd wear it because of the neckline.
- Another thing that's supposedly for kids to do HERE, but why should they have all the fun?
- If you have a bunch of scrap yarn balls, perhaps making one of THESE would be a good use. Something cozy to use in the cold winter months.
Today's quote is from Oscar Wilde..."Experience is the hardest kind of teacher. It gives you the test first and the lesson afterward"
Today's comment is spot on!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it though!
DeleteI am a sucker for helpful hints (as in the 'oddball' items) -- maybe because I feel smug when one of the suggestions is something that I figured out.
ReplyDeleteMe too! Some of those I already do but there were a few that I plan to implement.
DeleteNeat mittens--and they are also wrist warmers;)))my kinda mitten!! :))) Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI hope the recipient likes them and that they'll help keep her warm.
DeleteI love your "furry" cuffed mittens! Those are going to be a hit come Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI hope they will be!
DeleteRe: quote...Ain't that the truth!
ReplyDeleteFor sure!
DeleteSherry of createology; Your mittens are so pretty with the “fur” cuffs. Lots of fun links again…especially the glue and watercolor with salt. Oh my have I got a lot of experience in all my years.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the links. It would be fun to play with that watercolour technique wouldn't it. Perhaps you will?
DeleteThat quote is so accurate.

It certainly is! Thanks for the comment.
DeleteLove, love those mittens AND today's quote.
ReplyDeleteIt's the wrong time of the year for mittens but I like having little projects to knit while the weather is hot. Glad you liked the quote!
DeleteI love my scrappy shawls and use them on cooler mornings throughout the year. I really like those fur cuffs on the mittens.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I'm not a shawl person but certainly see their value for people who live in chilly houses. Our apartment is just too warm for me to have need of one.
DeleteHopefully the fur cuffs will help keep the recipient warm.
Lucky person to receive those mittens! Love the list and the quote is another keeper.
ReplyDeleteIT's not the season for mittens, but they're an easy lightweight project to work on in the summer heat.
