Knitting Dragonflies

I got one of these for Christmas several years ago. I loved it, and have been searching for a pattern for one. I finally discovered a close imitation here . (lots of other patterns also) also see another photo of it here at Eternal Arts & Crafts . Upon looking at it I would use cotton yarn, but my everlasting scrubbie is done in acrylic, it dry's quickly and is a tuff little guy, but will not scratch. My husband has it now, using it to clean bugs off of his windshield. I found this on Frogginette Makes Things , which is a great blog. She links to the tutorial, it is recycled yet fresh and pretty dress!! Tutorial by Clevergirl , thanks! This has me rummaging in my husbands closet, (he will never know). She also has another recycled shirt idea for a top, very cute and casual and clean looking. Check out her blog and her refashioned shirts here (she has more ideas!) Clever girl indeed....

Off today and have a list of "things to do". I've been in a cleaning mood lately, so I'm going with it. Clearing away and decluttering, I have found I can not be creative if my house (especially my sewing room) get too messy. I clean and this room ends up, well a catch all for everything that does not get to its proper place. So, needless to say, no knitting has occurred yet. I am working on a gluebook .

Off this weekend and spring cleaning! There is nothing like cleaning out and tossing the old. Making way for the new and fresh. Both in life and in your house. I was drinking coffee with my husband this morning and I overheard a man talking to a women. He says "I was weighed down by his physiological aura ", well I'm not sure what he was talking about but I have felt like I was in a big funk for several months. Last night I had vibrant dreams, I was a person who had been hoarding in my house for years, trying to clean it out. I woke up, finally...., and decided this morning I needed to spring clean.   There is nothing like cleaning the dust and dirt from the winter out. Opening up the windows and clearing out clutter! Good smells and fresh air. I don't consider my self a especially organized person or a clean freak. However, after these dreams and my BIG funk, I have been thinking........my beloved grandmother was a hoarder. I didn't realize this until
