This weeks craft projects. This week I made toddler capes http://www.momsrising.org/blog/how-to-make-a-superhero-cape-by-lara-from-howdoesshe/
Two blue and red, and one yellow and green, they turned out pretty great, they just need Velcro.
And I made a leopard fleece blanket, finally using some of my stashed leopard fleece.
And I made a pillow for Trixie, using an old squishy pillow and a newer squishy pillow, I made a larger, flatter, deeper pillow, and a .... Fleece pillow cover, for the winter.
And that's the project I was going write about for a minute, it makes me a bit sad I'm too lazy to do this on my computer, so the pictures will be in willy nilly.
First up, the tiny little styrofoam pellets, are unmanageable! I cut a little hole to move pellets from one pillow to the new, and the hole on the new pillow was too small, so, that was... a challenge, in the end, I just worked the old pillow into the new, I thought I would make it easier to get the pellets out... It did, but then I couldn't get the old pillow out of the new with out a pelletastropy, so it is in there still.
I took a little break in that project to do the other projects for a bit, and when I returned to it, I remembered I had one of those canning funnels, a regular funnel would not have worked, I thought about it. But the canning funnel worked fairly well actually, and I emptied 2/3 of a new squishy pillow into the other new pillow (I'm making myself dizzy) then as I was trying to stop poring pellets, the canning funnel pulled out of the pillow and pellets went everywhere!!!
Bu the pillow is a success with the cats, both the one it was intended for and the other one, its never not been occupied for the 24 hours its been complete.
The best decision I made though was to finish the pellets right before I planned to vacuum.
Enjoy the photos
