Homemade T-shirt Blanket for my hubby

Hi there…..here is my latest creation. A homemade, t-shirt blanket made from Shon’s older t-shirts.

The t-shirts were just piling up, but he didn’t want to get rid f them, so creativity set in..let’s make a blanket….

This blanket tells many of his stories…from all different times of his life.

Some of the shirts, he designed. Some he just loved and others have lots of memories…

neat, hau?

the back of the blanket, I used some old camo curtains that were hanging in Shon’s work…they were just throwing it away…why?

I’ll take it…and MAKE  SOMETHING!!!

Thank for your interest and letting me share…

Attention All Inalnd Empire People – Urban Fruit Harvesting

Hi all….
first, thank you for taking the time to read this post.

I watched a short YouTube Video on Urban Fruit Harvesting…

I am inspired…

We have an abundance of fruit growing on trees in residential areas of the Inland Empire. But every year, this delicious organic food drops without being harvested. Meanwhile, many people living on low incomes have limited access to fresh fruit, vital to a healthy diet.

I would like to get together and gather the fruit before it falls, and make this valuable resource available to those who need it.

So, if you know of anyone who has fruit tress, please let me know.

Even if it’s just one tree, it’s okay.

I am going to gather up places to pick trees and then organized a volunteer outing to start harvesting. Bring home what you want and the rest I will give to local food banks, homeless shelters and other organizations who may need fruit.

Are you in? You know of anyone who has trees, do you want to help harvest? Volunteer a truck, containers, pickers, people…..???anything you can help out with would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your support.

Making a difference, lighting my footprint….
Krista

Handmade T-Shirt Toddler Blanket made with Used T-Shirts

Handmade T-shirt Blanket made from Raleigh’s old t-shirts, blanket and receiving blankets…

This is my first attempt at any kind of blanket, patch work or quilt. I sewed this blanket with a sewing machine and tread. I cut the t-shirts into equal squares and then cut the blankets to fit around. I had a great time with this project. However, it feels good to be done!

I just winged this one…not measuring very carefully, but I have learned. The next blanket, which will be for Shon will be a bit more precise.

Now, I have all those memories, smells and feelings all rolled up into a blanket he can use and keep forever.

🙂

thank you for looking…

Bird’s of a Feather, Flock Together

Bird Mobile..

I got this wonderful idea from Spool Sewing Blog.

I pretty much just copied what they did. However, it turned out a bit different….

The balancing act was difficult and was taken over by my husband, who did a wonderful job.

This bird mobile is going to my brother and his wife who live on a farm

with three horses, two dogs, two cats, fish, chickens, roosters, goats and many other little critters.

These birds will be a beautiful addition to their home.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Healthy New Year
