Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Crochet Snowman Video

Happy New Year to everyone!! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. With that said let's start up some new projects to ring in the new year. Snowmen are part of the Christmas season, but what is nice about them is that you can carry them over to winter decorating. 

Let's start with sewing a crochet snowman. This video from Teresa Richardson is a little long, but she really shows you how to make the snowman. You can make several of these and have a whole family of snowmen. :)  Give it a try. 

Happy crocheting

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Upcycle Those Christmas Gifts

I know Christmas is getting close, but there is still time for a few of those last minute gift items. Why not do a little bit something different this time and give an upcycled gift to that special person. Let's jump on over to Etsy and see what we can find. 

Do you know someone who likes to grow their own herbs? If so, PottingShedCreations has this really neat idea of recycling wine bottles. 

Need something for the "computer geek" of yours? Take a look at this hard drive clock from pixelthis! I thought man what a different idea. LOL!

How about a recycled pair of corduroy pants. I know you have that person that needs a new hobo bag. BagsByMiller has this one available.

And who couldn't use another pair of mittens. Especially if that person lives in the north country like I do. Always have to have my mittens on. SewingAtTen made these out of an old wool sweater. Pretty good idea.  

Lot of nice recycled and upcycled gifts available. 

Happy shopping!

Colleen :)
