Solo Mother

If you’re dying for something to do, look no further!

I actually have a sweater–for me–on needles right now. Knitting needles. It’s a neck-down, hooded raglan with a nifty Celtic-ish design on the back. It’s a yoga sweater, and some day, I’ll study yoga, and have a lovely sweater to wear.

I’ve dabbled in needlepoint, latch-hooking, and a slew of other needle and fibre arts. I can make my own clothes… I did make some of my son’s clothes when he was a baby.

But I’ve got nothing on Chloe, resident blogger at Tangled Thread three doors down on the b5media lifestyle channel.

She’s got some beautiful projects for us grown-ups to do… and it looks as though she’s going to be branching out into kid craft, as well. If you’re looking for a fun felt project to do with your daughter, check out this simple felt flower... a wonderful addition to a dress for springtime fun.

I know single mothers don’t have a lot of free time, but if you can find a hand art you can do while watching television or movies at home, you’ll have some beautiful things to show for all that time. Check out Chloe’s blog. She can get you inspired.
