I did a sewing project for a friend this past Christmas that consisted of making some old, 80's looking hand decorated Christmas sweatshirts into pillows. These sweatshirts were lovingly created my her mother who is suffering from Alzheimer's and can no longer sew. She couldn't bear to throw them away, but neither could she bear to wear one, so we decided to make them into pillows of all shapes and sizes. I had a blast making these and being creative! Since then, ugly Christmas sweaters have come out from their hiding places and people want them made into pillows. I am starting to think that I could make a career out of recycling these old things! What is it about these hideous things and why can't we just throw these them away when we know that we need to?
Because....this ugly sweater made a pretty cute pillow!
Here's another...The owner of this ugly sweater was particularly concerned about losing this angel in the "recycling" process that was on the back of the sweater. Never fear, I just cut her out and made her the back of the pillow!
This is Miss Julia showing us tonight that she really can walk even though she hasn't made it her preferred mode of transportation. Crawling is still much easier and faster! She puts her arms in the air and looks like a robot when she walks!
Funny Julia, always keeping us entertained and smiling! She and John agreed that the best part of the Superbowl was the 3D part! Of course, my favorite part was sitting on the couch with Julia!
