Today I made a flower pot out of another old plastic container. Punched holes in the bottom with a knife, then filled it with my new fern. Fitting end to February Thing-A-Day and welcome to Spring!

Today I made a new scarf.. Spring is less than a month away but really, here in northeast Ohio spring is more like 2 months away. So the scarf is much needed and handy. I LOVE the fabric, it’s so soft and fluffy!

Today I made a sack to put my sewing scraps in out of an old pillow case.
One of my cashmere sweaters was getting raggedy at the sleeve elbows, to the point where patching it up would be noticeable. Normally I wouldn’t care but I decided to cut up the sweater and use the fabric for various things including a pair of cashmere socks. I’ve been wanting a pair for a while!
Today I made a new bottom for my denim kitchen sink skirt.
Today I made another pair of earrings. I wanted them to look like tiny earmuffs. I used the same material that I used for my mittens.

I made another pair of earrings and I like these so much better than the 1st set I made on the 3rd. These were a pair of silver mermaid earrings I liked…added red buttons to them to make them pop. Learned my lesson about using too much glue so just used a smidgen this time. [...]
Today I made a skirt out the bottom of a denim sundress that was too short, and the top of a pair of fleece pants.

Today I made mittens. I had some leftover fabric from when I made the kids; quilts this past Christmas and decided to use it for my mittens. This fabric is so soft and fluffy and warm. I put the fluffy side on the inside. The cuffs I reconstructed from an old jacket my sons used [...]
I’m doing <a href=”http://thing-a-day.com/”>Thing-A-Day 2010</a>. Today I made a new logo for my biz. or rather an updated one, I’m still using the hand-drawn flower motif but in shades of blue now instead of different colors. Will tweak in a bit.
