DIY recycled rosette cardigan

diy rosette cardigan step 5 close up
Happy Wednesday everyone, I thought I'd share a little something of what I have been up to lately. Today I added a little flair to this boring old cardigan I never wore. I saw this and this on anthropology so I decided to cut up an old t-shirt my husband was throwing away and made these adorable little roses to attach to my cardigan.


here is a step by step tutorial


step 1: Cut a strip off an old t-shirt


step 2: Twist it


Step 3: Roll in a spiral shape and stitch in place.


(Finished rosette)

step 4: Stitch rosette(s) to cardigan

feathers




I love feathers and have been collecting them lately. It helps that we have eight hens living in our yard. I Love how these pictures turned out, I took them using one of the camera filters I made the other day. Pretty fun.

Today all I did was play with my boys. I cuddled kissed and hugged each one. Including my hubby! Don't worry I didn't forget my little girl too. What a great day!

Quiche

This is a documentation of the first quiche I've ever made.
quiche prep

First I had a passion for photography, then came a passion for photographing food, and then a passion for cooking! Ha! Funny story right?! I have always hated cooking! I usually wait till my husband cooks out of necessity because, well, we have to eat. OK, so, I'm not really that bad, but I have done that kind of thing a few times. Now, all I can think about is the pretty things I can cook so I can take photos of them! Ha ha!

Another reason I baked Quiche today is because I just bought this pretty rectangular baking dish for $1 at the thrift store! I am always at the local thrift stores, looking for my next favorite thing. I never know what it is till I see it, though. (Maybe I should start a thrift store addicts anonymous group! Ha, ha! I bet a lot of my friends and sisters would have to come, too! My mom for sure would have to come; she's the one who taught me that if it's not a really great deal I can live without it.) I have to say that I am not one of those people who stands in line waiting for the doors to open first thing in the morning,
though. I'm not that bad. :)
