Two days at home can be a lot of (crafting) fun!!!

I had a wonderful stay-at-home weekend filled with hours and hours of uninterrupted crafting!

It started early Saturday morning when I finally decided to try my hand at turning a pair of too short (black) jeans into a skirt pieced with black, brown and ivory mudcloth. I'm quite pleased at the results; I just need to decide on the length for the hem which I plan to leave with a frayed edge. This was a project I'd been meaning to do for over a year. I can't wait to do another one.

Then yesterday, I started knitting a black wool vest with yarn I found in my stash. I ended the day by working on a crochet project which I plan to write about in an upcoming Handmade column, probably in early December.

Hmmm, could there be such a thing as too much crafting in 48 hours?

Happy Crafting!!!
