Ugly Sweater Party

I went to an Ugly Sweater party Saturday night. Do you have any idea how challenging it is to make a sweater U-G-L-Y!! The daughter ran into Goodwill and came out with me a red fleece pullover that had snowmen sledding on some snow on the front. Well, that wasn't ugly... I tried a few things but it sure didn't win any prizes!!

I hotglue gunned some polyester filler over the snowdrifts....


I had a reindeer hiding in a palm tree...


I put fluffy balls and fringe around the neckline, sleeves and hem...


And, here is how it turned out. I sure hate that I used the hotglue gun on it... that fleece is warm and I might could have worn it but alas... when you hot glue it stays!
 
Oh and did I tell you that I found my Christmas merry-go-round that I hadn't seen in several years! It's on the hutch in my kitchen now. Sure brightens things up with the red, yellow, green and blue. And, the music is so obnoxious! But, I love it.
