Hey peeps! Catch me over at Me Sew Crazy today with a quick and easy necklace tutorial.Update: reposted the tutorial below! "Bib" necklaces are all the rage, are they not? Yeah I'm kind of behind the times, I'm sure. Anywho-I found some of this vinyl stuff in the remnant bin at Joann's-in a lovely shade of mustard...so of course it hopped into … [Read more...]
felt dahlia flower
January 12, 2012 By 45 Comments
I've been wanting to make more of these flowers ever since I made one a few months ago, but my plans always fell by the wayside. (along the wayside are also my plans for world domination and the best chocolate chip cookie recipe in the world, but what can you do?) When I asked Sadie if she liked this flower, she said,"yeah...? It's a circle." … [Read more...]

So I've been making some more pretties to wear! (plus some for gifts!) I found most of the findings on Etsy, and glued, jump ringed, and wrapped my heart out. I have been having so much fun making them while watching How I Met Your Mother. (which is hil-wait for it-arious!)I'm on a bit of a jewelry making spree, and loving it! These wrapped … [Read more...]
jewelry organizer

I found this idea on Pinterest-using a thread organizer for necklaces and rings! I got it at Joann's-40% off, plus a 20% off total purchase coupon, so it was only $8. Sah-weet! And it fits all my necklaces, and it's so nice to get them off my dresser.The layered look is only nice when they're not tangled. … [Read more...]

mini scalloped felt flowers

Another felt flower! These are easy and so cute. I made them by first cutting out flowers with my Go Baby! Rose of Sharon die. I loooove the accuquilt cutter! (affiliate link) I use it so much for felt work! You could cut a flower shape out by hand easily, too. Mine were about 3" wide. Then I started cutting a spiral shape like … [Read more...]

While on my latest felt flower making kick, I also made these easy rolled flowers.Cut a long strip of felt, I prefer wool felt (my strips were about 18" long and 2" wide) then fold over and glue lengthwise...just along the edge. Then cut little slits however wide you like, and end them about 3/8" from the bottom. (notice my awesome new scissors? … [Read more...]

I made some jewelry. (plus a guest post)
November 15, 2011 By 36 Comments
I use the word "made" in a very loose sense. If I can make jewelry, than anyone can. These consisted of gluing stuff, opening and closing jump rings, etc. That I can handle. Although I did once take a jewelry class in high school where I actually soldered and stuff, it was quite fun but I made the ugliest stuff. The two necklaces on either end … [Read more...]
only-the-essentials felt wallet
October 24, 2011 By 17 Comments
So whenever we go to Disneyland, I hate bringing my wallet into the park. It's big, cumbersome, and I don't need half the stuff in it. (really, just my annual pass card or ticket, ID, debit card, and some cash.)I also hate grabbing my bag whenever we go on rides because I'm afraid someone will take my wallet if I leave it in our stroller. I do it, … [Read more...]
