Snow..

 All the snow recently had me thinking about one of my 
favorite books as a kid..

 

Do you ever do that?

Read the books that hang in sweet memories
of childhood?

The original 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs'
..'Wacky Wednesday'..

SNOW!


I've been dreaming about this little Japanese
out-of-print book that I came across on Pinterest
quite a while ago.

Lisa from 'This and That from Japan' was able
to track down a copy!

..gasp..

(Lisa is totally amazing and I can't recommend her shop enough)


Weaving with reclaimed fabric.


Many of you know how much I love sourcing
reclaimed materials.

Thrift shops, estate sales, random things
given to me from folks who know I love yarn.

Even though there are at least three proper looms in the house,
I still love to just "weave with what I have".


Cardboard from a shoe box,
reclaimed sweater yarn,
take-out fork,
and a
plastic darning needle from thrifting...

a fun little mug rug!

..or..

a custom patch to decorate a plain bag.

So if you are suffering from a bit of the greys or cabin fever,
maybe you'll want to try digging out these..

~ a cheerful read that will make you smile.
~ some odds and ends in your stash and craft happy.

..instead of digging snow..

: )
