Winter is upon us and it is chilly outside (unless you live in California where it feels like Spring).  An easy thing to make and give as a gift, or keep for yourself, are fleece scarves.  No sewing skills required!  You can purchase fleece at any fabric store.  I use my coupons at Joann’s and get a great deal, or wait until fleece is 40-50% off.  1 yard makes approx. 6 scarves, assuming the cut is straight.  I lay out the fleece, measure 7 inches wide using a yard stick.  Cut the fleece, preferably in a straight line, from end to end of the bolt, not where the fleece was cut at the store.  Then cut fringe on the end.  It’s that simple!  Quick, easy, inexpensive, and toasty warm!

Adults & kids both love them!

Happy cutting…

“Wonder what I will come up with next”…

I made these felt purses for my favorite Southern girls…you know who you are.  Auntie Weezy is gonna do some spoilin’ when she comes to the Big D!!!  The purses are darling and were very simple to make.

Do you ever say to yourself, “What am I going to give to her for a gift?”  Oh, and by the way…I need it NOW!  We have all been in that situation.  I like to keep a few generic gifts on hand exactly for those situations.  If you like making gifts, I have made these beaded key chains for several people.  They are very simple to make, and QUICK.  All you need are 3″ headpins, beads of your choice, key rings, and round nose crafting pliers.  Each key chain take about 30 seconds to make…no joke!  Happy beading…
