brown walls not so bad?

maybe I don't have to hate the color of the walls in my nursery.
maybe all I have to do is rethink the complimentary colors.

Mini Stocking Garland


I do some of my favorite sewing while recycling sweaters.
 To create this garland I sampled 18 sweaters.

I started the process by drawing a loose pattern on paper.  Then I cut out stockings from washed and dried sweaters.  I embellished a couple of stockings before sewing them up with my sewing machine.  I didn't need to use pins - which I loved because it made the process go faster.  Last I used an upholstery  needle to sew string them all on chunky cream yarn.  I tied loops on each end and hung it up!
