crochet refashion

I couldn't pass up this $1.99 100% lambswool sweater in a dark green color but the collar was coming undone in places. I embellished it with some crochet flowers made out of thrifted wool/acrylic yarn and I have an instant new favorite sweater!

My favorite part of the birthday

I love creating birthday treat bags. My 6 year old did me the favor of inviting only girls to his birthday party (except his brother) and decided to have it at Fairyland. I LOVE creating birthday treat bags with girls in mind!

These treat bags were filled with a crocheted flower necklace (medallions for the boys), recycled TP name banners for each of them, and a small journal made out of cereal boxes and a hand carved castle stamp. So much fun to put together and very well received! :)
