What do you do with hundreds of yards of soft grey fleece after it is taken down from an exhibition? Give it to other artists to make things. This fleece project came about after an exhibition at Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art called 90 Days Over 100° by Atherton and Keener, was taken down. This is the result of the scraps re-styled into a functional rug.

Now is the time to pick up pull-over sweaters on sale at bargain prices. I wondered if I could re-style a pull-over into a cardigan because even though it is about to heat up in sunny AZ it is also about to be the season when it is freezing in movie theaters, restaurants, and everywhere indoors. This grey pull over sweater was a steal at Target for only four bucks!

Does a man friend in your life have a drawer full of scrap, leftover hardware parts and pieces? We’ll dig in because those abandoned washers and such can turn into a super stylish piece of neckwear. This piece using hardware supplies was inspired by the re-styling projects created over at P.S. I Made This.

The gifts are all wrapped, the stockings await the stuffing I declare it to be time to settle in for a sip of spiked eggnog. Yum! See some of my gift wrapping favorites, crafty style. I used everything from newspaper to school writing paper, paper table cloth, legal ledger paper, contact paper and wall paper. I stamped many of them with rubber stamps and ink. The bows vary from ribbon to tinsel to chair canning and bakers twine.
So the baker’s costume will work for some events but a girls gotta have options. So I also created this recycled umbrella jelly fish costume.
