Crafty Sunday!

This is a new little feature on the blog where I post about other crafts not including my paper or sewing! You know, like stuff I do with the kiddies or little trinkety things I try!

First up is these cute little rings...

I got this little resin flower off etsy and the ring base came from The Art House (locally).

This is a Maya Road Resin Flower!

A little crazy glue and I wore it all day yesterday! Abby couldn't even pull it off!
Also, I thought I was too chunky for wrinkles but apparently I was wrong... gross!

Sewing Saturday!

Sorry a bit late on this post but I made these little coffee cozies for my sisters cause I love them... they had no idea what they were or were in a state of shock that I actually sent them something! But it is the thought that counts, right?

After I told them what they were, they loved them! :)

Please come back tomorrow for Crafty Sunday!



Edited to add...



I used THIS tutorial from The Cottage House!

Now that I an home and chillin on Sunday, I decided too have a look at what I bought in the madness!

Yes that is the Teresa Collins stamp maker you see there... exciting! I see some naughty sentiments in my future! Some corregated and some bamboo paper. Kaiser mini cards. Paper from Pink Paisley, Cosmo, American Crafts and Girls Paperie. Some funky Thickers and White on Kraft Alpha stickers by Jillibean... brilliant! Masks for mists and paints. New funky Bella Stamps and a MFT little girl... can't believe I don't have one of those yet! Kewl flower trim and some Kaiser paint that I have been looking for! Those Melissa Frances mini white frames.... GORGEOUS! I bought them all! Maya Roads wood embellies, bottlecaps (more, see me project tomorrow with the others I had!) and some turquoise glitter ritz! Delish! Oh and yes, those Martha punches which I have been looking for forevah! I also picked up some papers by a new local designer and some feathers... more on those later! Success!

Little Red Wagon!















Rosanne gave us an inspiration photo that is beautiful but very tough for me! She also asked us to use gold... holy smokes, I don't even think I have anything gold! So I improvised... I used some inking in a gold tone!

Sewing Organization!

For the little bit of time I do have to sew I thought I would create this book of tutrotials and patterns of projects I want to try! So far so good! I have made the monster pillow, the owl pillow, the coffee cozies and I have the faus chenille blanket and a little purse started!

I just used some purple stampin up cardstock that I would probably never use otherwise and a circle punch and stapler! Easy peasy!









































I added a little pouch to the back for the pattern pieces once I cut them out!
