Project Restyle - Week No 5

This week's Project Restyle is about my favorite Purple Beanie. It had started to worn out and the edges were fraying so I've decided to give it a makeover.

I have crocheted around the edge with a light purple yarn, just to keep it from fraying more and I have also added two of the flowers that I've made following the instructions of my new book.

Doesn't it look cuter now?

(I'm a mess in this photo, sorry!)

Project Restyle - Old Creations

Project Restyle has already begun and it's on its second week. Unfortunately, I haven't made anything new yet. All I have to show you are some of my old creations that are made with unwanted, damaged and used items. Some of them are also under my blog's category Tutorials - Creations.

cross stitch to paper making. But the great crafty loves of hers are
scrapbooking, art quilts and jewelry. And she likes to combine
all three of her favorite methods of expression into
mixed media creations.
