SPC Day 2, Sweater Pillow


We had a long night in the Bee household. One toddler was up every few hours before she passed out on our bedroom floor and wouldn't be moved and another toddler rose with the sun. 
And let me tell you, the sun gets up waaaaay too early.


Today's photo-challenge is probably one of the hardest on the list. Seriously, where are you going to see a Rhino?
I got lucky and realized (4 hours after I dressed him) that Boy Bee had a rhino on his shirt today. I told you we had a long night.

(AH! I see you have been blinded by the sun glare from my dining room window!)


I had the urge to destroy and remake something today. I through my old "clothes to upcycle" box and found a few options; an old cashmere sweater to dismember and turn into a large pillow for the stairwell, a tunic to make into a toddler maxi dress and a long sleeve shirt that would make great toddler winter leggings.

I went with the easiest. Three cuts, three quick runs through the brother, a half hour of hand stuffing.and twenty stitches by hand later and there you have it.
Lime green, cashmere floor pillow.



I just said "cashmere" and "floor" in the same sentence. That's a first.
Happy Labor Day!
Ironically, it's also National Beheading Day... hurrah?
