Sleeve Cap

stuff 017

I know what you’re thinking–“Of course the cap is sleevless. Sheesh!”  Sure, sure. But wait. That’s not what I mean. This stripey cap that’s a sweet little cross between Wee Willie Winkie and Captain Jack is made from a SLEEVE.

Back last Christmas, I was making a valiant attempt to be frugal and creative at the same time. Often that can go quite badly, but lucky for us–it turned out surprisingly well. The bottom left piece of this shirt was made into rice pillows. The bottom right piece was made into night caps for the bald kid–he didn’t even mind the flowers. The neck piece is still in the creation stage.

Ok, fine. Leave them all where they are and my life can be nearly complete and everyone will be happier…

and less crowded.

Sheesh.

Stepping out…

Mama told Lily, “It’s time to go,” which usually means–tidy the toys, find your shoes, get your hat and head for the door.

This is what we got…
