Spruced Up Cardi and Decole Goodies

Ah Decole - a love affair has begun! These are my second and third additions to my budding Decole collection - a mushroom teapot for one with matching cup. How cute are these!? I think that I've decided to start collecting tea for one sets, since we're such big tea drinkers. They're so fun and lovely and they just make tea time special!

Moving on from the Decole gushing - on to some craftiness!

I've been on a real clothes revamp kick as of late. I almost pledged for Wardrobe Refashion this time around, but I opted for quietly revamping on my own without the pressure of having to post about it. Which of course...I am doing right now! I've had this particular cardigan since highschool, and as you can see it's on it's last legs. I patched it up the best that I could and gave it a little pizazz...



Ta-da! A blanket stitch here, a blanket stitch there and my cardigan is as good as new! Well - rather old and worn with some new fancy decorations! I did learn from this project that when embroidering onto a knit with yarn, best to stay away from nubby yarn. This red had little multicolored nubbies in it, and instead of adding interest here and there, the color plops just got all knotted up as I went along. I'm also not trying to be a dorky supermodel in the picture on the left, I just wanted to show that the stitching was on the cuffs as well. Cute, no?

Well Cassie is trying to eat/fight with the cord connecting to my keyboard, so I suppose I must sign off. Before I do though, check out this. Our dear, Dawbis is having a little picture party!

Cheers!
