A Load of Shit

A Collage of my pass time hobby.

Two Chemo Hats with matching cuffs, Slippers out of squares, baby shoes out of felt,

1 black seamans' hat, 3 alpaca hats, one puffy pink scarf,

2 baby sweaters, the beige one is beautiful with front buttons, as is the
very soft white and bone newborn blanky that can be used for a Christening.

The blue and white blanky is also quite special at least for me and the white and pink little sweater is also quite cute.

I love making collages.

Have a nice week end.

Slipper Squares.

 

These little buggers were sooo much fun to make.
I almost felt bad when I ran out of squares.

I began making random squares for a blanket.
I saw Michaels asking people to throw some into their outdoor box to make blankets for the poor, but mine were not 8x8.
Seeing I didn't have enough for a blanket I decided I would try something else and ended up with these.

All you do is sew up the squares and then if you want to make them soft warm souls just crochet another small patch to sew on the bottom.

I have a lot of them and even added a few for grown ups
Very handy to give as gifts and to keep for visitors when they visit.
Also when you visit some one just pop them into your purse.

I noticed the nice ballerina type purse slippers I always used to buy for a few bucks in the store to put into your purse to wear in other peoples homes sell for 32 dollars today.
Oh well mine are much better, much cheaper, softer and warmer.

Knitters delight....

These little guys were so easy and fun to make I could do them forever.

What happened was, I began making squares . Then I decided against making the blanket I wanted to make, but I had all these squares. I tried to think what I could do with them and then it dawned on me that I could make slippers.

These are for children.

All you have to do is close up the front and sew up the back and any crochet or sewing method can be used. After all its your slipper.

I alsodouble sewed the sole so as to make it warmer, softer, and cushiony, to step on.

The yellow one on the far right, has a mop bottom so when you walk you can mop the dust off the floor lol

Oops they are separated. The other one is beside the yellow and black slipper.lol

They are easy to wash and wear again.

The white pair, is from my first boy who is quite old now but his little bootie is still here.

Those were knitted from scratch, when knitting was a novelty to me.

One ball of thread can make enough squares for 3 pairs of slippers for a child.

Then you can use left over thread from other balls to play with, to finish the slipper with pom poms, little animals faces, etc....

I had so much fun making them,I was sorry I ran out of squares.
