I am so happy for Baltimore! I can’t imagine the energy in the City tonight. I love it when people come together like this.
Looks like I’ve got two weeks to find something purple for the big game. Go Ravens!
fleece football scarf
This weekend was filled with birthday celebrations. Saturday we attended a surprise party for my friend Wanda, who is a serious Green Bay Packers fan. She loves scarves so the decision to make her a football scarf was an easy one. I knew exactly how I wanted this to look and it turned out just right. I love when that happens.
I bought the fleece new from the fabric store. Wow! It’s been so long since I’ve done that! The Packers-inspired gift bag fabric came from my stash.
This was one of two mystery gifts I was working on last week. I’ll post the other one tomorrow.
thrifty thursday
Last weekend I hit a few church sales that turned out to be a total bust. I decided to stop by Goodwill on the way home just to window shop. (Hey, I was in the neighborhood!) Not only did I find this great sweater, but when I checked out it rang up half price!
I have been thinking of making some Nebraska football inspired (i.e., red, red and more red) accessories for my shop in the Fall. I really like the black and red plied yarn for Husker Blackshirts fans.
recycle: The sweater is a super soft cotton/acrylic blend with perfect seams for unraveling. Score!
