Cozy Cowls

Here are a few cowls that I have knitted in the last month. The cold-wet weather makes for a great time of year to be inside watch a movie, have a glass of wine and Knit. I have woven scarfs that I collected from secondhand stores which make it so you can tighten the scarf around your neck, protecting your neck from the wind. All you need: 1 or 2 spools of yard, large round knitting needles; cast on 35knits, knit in a circle. Thrift stores are a great place to find a colorful scarf to add.
Have fun!!

Re-New Necklaces






I have been slowly putting these necklaces together over the last couple months, when I am feeling inspired. The collection of pendents I collected from secondhand stores and my mothers old jewerly collection. The chains range from approx. 30inch-45inch. They are ment to hang low; however, you can adjust to your personal preference. Click on individual photo to see in larger view, Enjoy!

White antique inspired necklace stand. This is a DIY project. I found a secondhand frame $3, painted 2 coats of white paint, let dry for a day in front of the fire. Then sanded the frame with meadium and soft  sand paper to give it that old used look. The back is foam board with black fabric hot glued to the board. The hooks were also painted for they were gold and did not go with the color scheme. This is an easy fun project, it does take a bit of time. Try experimenting with different colors, and lace or chicken wire to make an earring stand. Have fun!
