Two Repurposes in a Day: Fingerless Gloves and Yogurt Pops

Fingerless Gloves and Yogurt Pops

First, Buy yogurt and itty bitty paper cups.
Next, scoop yogurt into itty bitty cups.
Then put your popsicle handles or just plain popsicle sticks into the yogurt. Freeze.
While you wait for those yummies to freeze, grab an outgrown or outdated sweater. I bought this one for 25 cents at a yard sale. Turns out it's too big for The Artist, but too small for me. Soooo, I'm turning it into fingerless gloves and a pillow. The full tutorial for the gloves is on A Foothill Home Companion. Make a paper template of your hand (full or partial... this is to show you where and how to cut & sew the sleeve for your thumb. Cut off sleeves, and turn inside out. Using your template as a guide, sew, and then cut out the little middle triangle area. View the tutorial link for better pictures! ;-)Turn right-side-out and wear! You can roll the cuff, knit around the top, or embellish with buttons, which is my plan.

(The pictures are in black and white because the gloves so did NOT match my clothes,
and I didn't want to change. I'm all for setting style trends,
but this just wasn't going to cut it.)

See? Cute!!

Cozy!! I left my sleeves long. For the love of fashion.
(My dear sisters, you can bet you'll be getting fingerless gloves in your stockings this year!)

And, now that you're all cozy, go grab a yogurt pop.
Mmmm... yummy, healthy, cold.

Remember to share with the little people.

We spent the weekend in Springfield and Branson, MO, and then Huntsville, AR... pictures coming soon. :-)
