Crafting Along with needle and thREAD

This past week, I made another pair of upcycled/repurposed wool longies!  Using the sleeves of a thrifted 100% wool sweater, like always. I really like the bulky texture! Cuffed for lots of growing room!



I am so IN LOVE with this little nine week old girl!


Really! I mean it this time! I will start reading again. I just got a new reference type book and will show it off next week.  Daily I read many, many books to Bunny! Between new baby, active two-year-old, The Hubs working lots of over time, me back to the playschool 40 hours a week, all that goes with all of that, AND the neeeed to be creative (I made a ring this week too and put snaps on bibs for the playschool and.... ) reading just hasn't been a priority... unless you count the numerous blogs on birthing, natural parenting, creating....  Next week!

    Those longies are so precious....or is it the cute little babe wearing them....must be the babe :)Don't wear yourself out! You are still a sort of new mama, so get plenty of rest!

    This is such a great idea! I pinned it on my recycle board. Good to hear from you. Been crazy busy but sounds like you are even busier! Take care and thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Yeah! Love the wool. I love the process involved in using longies (and shorties). There's something that feels good to me every time I wash and lanolize them in a pot in the kitchen!

    And when you think about it, it's wild how much we love someone so new--your 9-week old, my 6-week old...a person who's been on earth such a tiny pinch of time. Then again, we kind of did get to know them in the belly, didn't we? :)

    I have made many pairs of these over the years and they really are great! And that little girl is so darn cute!!!!! I wouldn't be able to get anything done with someone that cute around! I'd be drooling all day.:)

    So freaking cute (the baby and the longies!) I've been pinning sweaters turned diaper covers like a mad woman lately (Though I have yet to make one) and now you've got me hankering for a cable knit one. Good thing a trip to the thrift store for wool sweaters is already on the agenda for the weekend. Did you felt the sweater first?
