HAVING SOME PLAY TIME

Many of you who know me well,

know that my creative outlet is crafting

knitted wreaths from rescued sweaters.

I've been at it for several years now and I can't think

of anything I enjoy more.

Today I had the itch to do something creative,

so I went through the few crafting supplies that I brought

with me and found this colorful sweater.

Right before I left Johnson City

one of my friends left this sweater on my porch.

She said I could use it for something,

and today I did.

Thanks Betty Ann.

It's a very big sweater and can easily make

two or three wreaths.

Today I only used the sleeves.

I started by covering my wire frame.

Then cut some strips and made some roll-up flowers.

Voila`

I have an etsy shop called Nanniepannie, but

alas, my creations do not sell as fast as I want to make them.

I've been forced to slow my creating down

due to limited space in the basement.

Such is life.

I think this one will just hang in our little kitchen.

The Christmas decorations come down soon

and we'll need a little color and whimsy.

This one makes me think of the circus

for some reason.

Thanks for stopping by.
