SHE-SHED OF THE MONTH
Like modern , funky-style houses ? Then this she-shed of the month is sure to please ! Anyway you want to decorate can be as unpredictable as St . Louis weather . The hammock makes for a nice place to rest when the weather is warm , and then go inside the next second when it changes to watch out the glass walls come rain , snow , or shine on a sleek but comfy couch . At night put out chairs and tables and light the bonfire with your friends and family , or host a girls ’ night out to enjoy yourself and show off your little getaway .
SEW CUTE
By Theresa Colombini This month we are focusing on a half-apron . These are super fun , super cute , and super easy to make , so get out those sewing machines and let ’ s go !
What you need : material preferably with a fun pattern on it , size depending on the person ; 1 in ./ 1 ½ in . ribbon , depending on which you think looks better ; and possibly a fringe to put at the bottom .
First off , hem the edges of the material so there is a clean edge . Next , pleat the top by folding over small sections , pinning , and sewing . To cover the funky looking top , sew ribbon on to make a sash , leaving plenty on each side to make a bow . Then sew your fringe onto the bottom and there you go !
Teddy and Me : I also made a mini one for my stuffed animal Anna Marie , and you can do the same if you have a doll / animal .

The accessories for winter are hats , which can be worn in so many different ways . They can be tilted on your head , all the way on , or whatever style you like best . You can have all kinds of different jewels , like diamonds or circles or most any shape . You can put lace on them with jewels . You can put all colors with them . To make it festive , put Christmas colors together , like red and green , or orange and black for Halloween . This is a very affordable kind of accessory .

The new winter fashion is putting jean jackets with a hat and scarf with some stylish jeans . You can put all colors and / or patterns on the scarf . Because in winter , you most always want a scarf or hat . Plaid scarf and striped hat would go together . Jeans can be any color if they go together with the accessories and same with the shirt . Be careful about wearing red with red , however , because it is hard to match reds and the various shades do not go together that well with each other .
