Leg Warmers from a sweater

Remember leg warmers?

Way, way back in the last centrury, we girls used to wear them for exercise, to keep warm, or just to pretend we were sporty.

This super-simple tutorial shows you how to make your own from an old sweater.

Hey presto, you're back in the 80's!

Children's Fleecy Fish Hat

This hat is absolutely adorable.
Just wish I had someone at home who was young enough to wear one!

But then again, I'm kind of glad I don't have to go through that stage again ;)

Shoe Inserts

These are a great idea for keeping your tootsies warm in winter.

Try washing them by hand in warm water, with a couple of drops of lavender essential oil. It's a great relaxant, smells good, and has wonderful antiseptic properties.
