After a long break over the summer, Amie (Kitty Cats and Airplanes) finally met again for a long overdue crafty afternoon. On the menu: Fall wreaths. Amie had bought a great wreath at one of our Goodwill expeditions but somehow it stayed at her place so the first thing we did was to run to Home Depot to grab a couple of pieces of pipe insulation to make a low-cost support. Not perfect but it does the job.
Amie helped me to turn out fabric tube after fabric tube so that I could get started on my project.
Sewing a length of yarn inside each long tube made the job way easier
Amie loved learning a new trick ... and making silly faces for the camera.
Then she went to work on her wreath ... twisting gazillion yards of yarn.
That's a LOT of yarn
and this is what I did with my fabric tubes. Yes it's braided around the wreath support. Since I'm stashbusting, I couldn't buy ribbon but the fabric tubes worked out great.
And for the final touch, a few felt rosettes
We had a great time as usual and finished the day sharing a pizza and ice cream with the hubbies and Bug of course.
Another long overdue project finally completed thanks to Stabusting September: I've had this grey fabric in my stash for almost a year. It was time to make a skirt that Bug could wear at school when it gets cooler. It is already getting that way. Another little corduroy in a mousy grey that I girlified with a colorful ruffle.
