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.

Found at a recent clothing swap held at Blueberry Deluxe Boutique in the Melrose District: 1 Marimekko Dress.
Dilemma: Short girls (i.e. The Thrifty Maker) can’t wear full body floral prints.
Solution: Restyle it! Marimekko dress meet scissors because your are about to have a makeover. This Marimekko dress retails for more than $100 and a Marimekko bag alone is about $89. (Check out Finn Style for proof.) Cost for this skirt and bag (free), around ¢25 for thread, ¢30 for binding tape and ¢60 for a silk ribbon. Total cost: $1.15.

Since I am working on spiffing up my entire office area I decided I needed to make a new mouse pad.
This little number is so super cute stuff! I used my Cricut and the Create-A-Critter cartridge to cut the hedgehog design out of layers of felt and fabric that I then sewed together to make a perfect desktop companion.

I made a cute little chicky Christmas Stocking for the Smallest One (my 1 year old) using the Cricut with the Create-A-Critter cartridge for the birdy and the Tie the Knot cartridge for the crown. I pared these with wool felt and a few fun embellishments to make a cute little stocking. When my oldest daughter, The Short One, was born four years ago I made one for her too so now it is a tradition. Oh what fun!
