Hand Knit Beanie


I don't knit that often and it's been a while since I pulled out my knitting needles. A friend's favorite color was orange, so I gave it a go!

I learned to knit when I was thirteen years old from my friend who was left-handed. I'm right-handed. From her instruction I became a left-handed knitter! Guess I'm a bit ambidextrous !

Just an FYI ... that's a Vintage Tailor's Pressing Ham that the beanie is propped up on 😉

Fabric & Paper Mâché Vessels/Pots

I handmade several little paper mâché pots/vessels. Two in the lower right hand corner I used handmade papers that had been digitally printed on from my discard pile, others I used fabric strips and Modge Podge as my glue.

Measure 3"- 4" in diameter and 2"- 4" in height. Handy little storage containers for a variety of items.

Many DIY's online, or you already know how because you happily created paper mâché items as a kid 😉

Fabric Mâché Boxes

Supplies left over after my making my fabric/paper mâché pots/vessels. Grabbed boxes I had laying around (shipping box & empty notepaper box) and used up the rest of my fabric scraps to transform them with more 'fabric mâché' !

And voila! Handy for containing sewing supplies and deck of inspirational quote cards!
