Meat Tray Garland How To!

I wasn't the one to come up with this but I saw a picture of it somewhere but not sure where to give credit were credit is due so sorry about that~ It was just a picture not a how to if that means anything!

What to do with those handy little meat trays? you could use them for paints but I don't paint very often and they just seem like they could have some other helpful use besides holding Meat but I have yet to find one until now! MEAT TRAY GARLAND!! I believe garland is not just for the holidays but to make every day a festive day!

1)Gather your meat trays ~ they do come in an array of colors but I used white for my first go at it.
2)Now tear the tray up in to pieces, no need to be perfect just tear away, I used 3 meat trays for this one and it fit across my front 2 windows.
3)Now that you have all these pieces floating around time to wrangle them in! thread a sewing needle and start threading the pieces on.


4) once you have them all threaded on you could stop and be done but I wanted mine to have some sparkle so I sprayed the garland with acrylic spray and sprinkled with glass glitter~ I then coated with acrylic again to make sure the glass glitter stuck and was sealed on!

Ta-Da~~


You can use egg cartons, lg McDonald's cups are Styrofoam, etc..

Afghan Completed

I finished an Afghan this weekend~ my daughter wanted to use it before it was finished so that inspired me to hurry up and finish it so I could cover her up with it while she was sleeping! it turned out so cute. I like this pattern because it's quick and thick, it uses that big chunky yarn. It takes 7 skeins and you can get them on sale for $5 so it only cost $35! here's the link for the free pattern;

My daughter and I did some needle felting this weekend~ she's only 11 but good at it and hasn't injured herself to badly yet! I was making felted Mushrooms and she was working on a blueberry but when I got up the next morning the Blueberry was not yet done but this was waiting for me! she made me an egg for breakfast! She sure is a crafty one!

Then there was one!

I am only Blogging here now. I have had a Lampes Lumps blog with Typepad for many years but blogging is something I have floundered at so I decided to shut down typepad and blog just here. So all my fiber news will be here as well as my other love Recycling, Reducing, ReUsing! Now that's straight I hope to get things rolling and blog more consistantly! I just have a hard time doing it without a picture~ boring!

Boo

I found this free Ghost pattern on Lionbrand.com and it whips up quickly! I think next year I will make a bunch of them and hang them from the ceiling!Then I whipped up this cute pumpkin! it was a bit hard to pull the yarn to make the valley's ~ so mine is a bit off kilter but still cute enough for my daughter to want to bring it to school and show off! you can find the pattern here www.Pepperberry.etsy.com
Halloween is upon us and tomorrow brings drinking woodchuck in my neighbor's driveway and passing out candy! I think I will bring some harder stuff so we can make "duck Fart" shots! Crown, kahlua & Bailey's.

Fall Air

We went to our Cabin last weekend to close it down. Can't get back there once it snows because when I say it's back in the woods it really is back in the woods! here are some pictures of the tree's and the Monster in the woods! I will miss the Fresh air and lazy days up there!
