Pebble Haze Yarn | Blossom-Circle-Square | Jumper Vest

 Yay! I finished my first article of clothing with the fabulous Pebble Haze yarn 

A great big hug of thanks for this generous gift is being sent via this instant 
worldwide communication option. 
Hoping there is enough bandwidth and radio frequency to cover 
how grateful I am for this consideration.
I love this DK (#3 light) weight 67% cotton 33% acrylic yarn! 
It is soft and airy but is structured enough to hold up for clothing. 
I like it so much that I have purchased more if it!

I had a hard time deciding on sleeves, 
but I thought no sleeves would be nice for springtime. 
Plus it can always be worn over a blouse with sleeves...

Springtime Crochet | Apple Blossom Wreath | Mixed Media

Currently, we have 3 feet of snow on the ground...
but that doesn't stop me from remixing and hanging a spring wreath.
🍃🌸🌸🌸🍃
The old silk flower apple blossom wreath needed a little something...🌸
...and we all know what little something was needed...🌸
Before                                                         After

I love remixing media.
Let's remix, recycle, reuse, repurpose, redecorate, and reinvent!
