Tuesday, January 31st, 2012


Here’s an easy little DIY for you to spread the love with.

What you need are pipe cleaners and some embroidery floss or yarn:

All you have to do is bend the pipe cleaners into the letters LOVE  and reshape them as needed….




Then you take your floss , thread your pieces…

And you’re done!!!

If you make one I would love to see it so post a link in the comments !

Have fun and Happy crafting =)

Let’s DIY.

I was looking for the perfect bowtie for Jackson to wear on Christmas but couldn’t find one at any of the stores I went to. I did find a bunch of cute ones on Etsy but it was hard to tell the true colors and if it would go with his shirt. So what’s a mama to do? Bust out the sewing machine and make one herself. And that’s what I did.

In my journey of teaching myself how to sew I have about 50 tutorial’s bookmarked. My goal is to be able to make Jackson clothes as well as myself. So far I’ve made 5 zippered pouches with 3 different tutorial’s. This is my latest , and my best…if I do say so myself, that I made for my mom as part as a birthday gift (we got her a new camera and it fits perfectly in the pouch). I got the tutorial from NOODLEHEAD. It was pretty easy to follow and being a beginner the pictures helped.  This was also the first time I used interfacing and put in a tab for a keyring.

It’s not perfect, hello crazy zipper, but I like how it came out. I’m gonna see how many I can make before Christmas to give as gifts. Wish me luck =)
