cashmere : a challenge

I was digging through one of the piles of wool in my workspace this week when I found a bag with the remains of 3 cashmere sweaters in it.

I had previously used the arms from these sweaters to make socks and I decided that this week I'd use up the rest of them too.

I started with the cute argyle one.

I turned it into a little skirt for my daughter.  I lined it with a brown t-shirt, also from the supply pile, and gave it a little lettuce edge.

Cute and cashmere?  My model approves.

More cashmere to come...

This weekend I gave my tired old pair of Chucks a makeover that's decidedly "me".

These shoes are nice and comfy, and still in good shape, but no longer come clean after washing.  With these grey winter days I've had enough of dingy white so I got out my acrylics and some fabric medium and got to work.

A bright green suits me fine.

At coffee break time I admired my green nails.  Nice.

To finish off my kicks, I added some star moss to the heels and just like that I had a new pair of shoes.  They're sure to be one of a kind, and already worn in, bonus.

I kind of love them.

How are you bringing some green into your day today?
