UPCYCLED

Well I have finished some of my projects.  It is so nice to get them done and move on to something else.

I picked up the sweater at the goodwill.  I thought the trim on it was so neat the way it rolled up.  It was and extra large but believe me when I say it shrunk considerably when I washed it in hot water.  I made the sleeve and part of the front into this pillow.  http://www.etsy.com/listing/94154550/upcycle-recycled-felted-wool-sweater?ref=v1_other_2

What to do with the rest?  Well I just had to dye it!  Cut it and have fun with it.

It is sort of a penny rug style pillow.  It was fun to do and the texture is wonderful.  This one would be really cute on a little girls bed.  http://www.etsy.com/listing/94155497/upcycle-recycled-felted-wool-sweater

Waste not want not.  I guess I will take the rest and sell it on etsy as supplies for someone else to have fun with.

The new hang tag made out of my cotton fiber.  I love this stuff!  It is so pretty and has such a wonderful texture.  I love picking out all the things I am going to do to it.  It is a hang tag someone will keep forever! All I can say is it is a little fiber art piece.

 I also got the top to my quilted table runner finished but I will save that for another time.  Received fabric for the quilt I will make for my bed this week.  It is lovely and it will probably be a long time coming.  It may just be the last patterned quilt I ever make.  I sort of hate the boundaries of doing what someone else has designed.  I am set in my ways!
