my aunt joyce sent me such a cute article, which was in country living magazine.

she knew, i'd jump on this quick craft as soon as i could! and i did.

all you do is........ gather a few clean bottles, bowls, even a lampshade! find interesting

knit sweaters that you no longer need or purchase at a thrift store. plug your hot glue gun in.

then, slide the sleeve of the sweater over the bottle. measure, cut and fold the bottom to

the bottom of the glass... hot glue it into place.

this is how my finished project turned out!

i need to venture out and pick a winter bouquet of dried weeds

to stick in the bottles! i think dried goldenrod should do the trick!

i just love this bowl.

i used an old knit hat from the gap.

i wiggled it on the bowl and made a knit rosette!

and topped it off with a vintage button!

it sits on my coffee table...

holding my rug hook, scissors and sewing odds and ends.

so now, why don't you meander into your closet... pull out that shrunken cotton sweater that you never wear... rinse out a soy sauce bottle

and make a vase!

it's fun.

it's addicting.

it's a fun-addiction!

smile, wink, nod!
