Hottie...

I was lucky (or quick enough) to be one of the first 20 people to comment on Cam's blog post and nab a spot in the Hottie Challenge.


Mine is finished and being Express Posted tonight to Melbourne with the hope (fingers crossed) that it will get to The Hottie Challenge/CurlyPops Headquarters before Thursday.

So here it is.  I had lots of fun doing this and thinking of what I was going to do.  I felted a thrifted vest that I picked up whilst opshopping last year (with the plans for big things) 


Blanket Stitching and a  crochet flower, complete with original zip that doubles as it's opening. 

This hottie is functional and hoping that it will keep someone warm on a cool night.

I am going to have to head back to the opshops and see if I can find another one so I can make one for us.

The Hottie Challenge is raising funds for The Margaret Pratt Foundation, which raises funds for Heart Lung Transplant Trust.

If you are in Melbourne, I would suggest getting yourself down to the opendraw between  Friday July 1 to Sunday July 24, 2011 to check them all out.  They are going to sold - fingers crossed someone likes mine to pay $$$ for it:)

  3. Wonderful idea! You are so very clever and I don't think that hottie will have any problem raising some money for the cause.
