iron craft challenge #2: stay warm

Iron Craft #2

so. challenge #2 was to make a "draft dodger" or a "door snake". score. we totally needed one (or a dozen) of these in our 1904 unheated beach house!

materials for iron craft challenge #2: stay warm:
-fleece
-felt
-dried pinto beans
-liquid stitch
-stitch witchery*

okay, it really lives by the door because those windows don't open and are probably one of the more sound features of our home, but the view's prettier. the door, where it's better suited? not so much.

I LOVE your draft dodger :) When we lived in the Midwest I saw them in B&Bs and always thought how homey they looked. Yours is very So Cal and modern ~ nice.

BTW Molly is so big now!!!! Such a cutie.

I could really use one of those draft dodgers. Especially because I have a view of snowbanks out my window not lush green plants!
