Adorable dress

Searching through projects I came across this one ~

I think my friend picked up some of this fabric in blue for her 30th birthday party, but this dress is too cute!

Earing inspiration

I want to do something with dragon flies... these earings caught my eye the other day and i just had to have them (and a matching bracelete too)... Now what will I do with this thought?.... what are your ideas?

Unveiling memories...

Goodbye Sweet Dragon...

I came across this guy in my mess last weekend. I painted him sometime in high school (dare I say almost 20 years ago?).

It was time to say good bye, he'd suffered a hip injury sometime in college and had to have a complete replacement which didn't heal too well and was never repainted. But before he left to a better place I took some pictures to remember him.

This weekend...

(before new hem)

What did you do craft-wise this weekend?

I hemmed a raincoat that has needed mending for probably 10 years now. It also was missing a button and since I didn't have one of the same I moved the top button down and replaced it with a simular vintage button I had in my collection. I'm happy to actually be able to wear it again. The forcast is rain you know!!!

Also, I mended a leather jacket for a friend, it was lost in my horrable mess until I found it last weekend! Now I just have to give it back. ;)

Yes I'm back, back again....

nah nah nah nah... ok I'm no Eminem but I'm back! Here to share my creativeness with the world (or at least the 4 people who might actually read this blog).

This weekend I spent the entire time gutting my office/craftroom, organizing, labling and putting back the necessities. A truck load went to good will, bags of trach went to the curb and the barbies, prom and wedding dresses went to storage.

I'm ready to create again! See you soon!

THIS SATURDAY!!!

I'll be there selling Vintage clothing, crafts and T-shirts, so come on out & say HI!

Recycled Valentine’s Day Cards (or any cards for that matter)

If you’re anything like me you have a box of old, used (and some unused) greeting cards from over the years that you just can’t bring yourself to get rid of. Well, here’s an easy, inexpensive, and fun way to recycle them! All you need is some cheap card stock, envelopes, scissors, glue and whatever art supplies you have lying around the house (like glitter, markers, paint, etc…). Be creative, take elements of the old cards and cut them out. Combined them, re-arrange them and glue them to a folded piece of card stock (cut to the size of your envelope when folded in half), then decorate the rest any way you want. Add a fun Valentines Day poem on the inside and tah dah! You’ve created a whole new card from an old one.

Cute as a Button Box

An inexpensive box from the craft store (or any you have lying around the house)Craft or Acrylic PaintSealant (either spray or modge podge)Extra ButtonsGlueFelt (optional)First paint the box a pretty Valentine’s Day color. You can be creative with the paint, mixing colors, swirling colors, adding a “whitewash” by brushing some white over the color and taking it off again. Anything you want to create a festive box. After it is dry seal the paint with a spray on sealer or modge podge.Take your extra buttons and glue them in a heart shape on the lid of the box. They don’t have to be matching buttons; it’s more fun if you have a variety of colors, shapes & sizes.For an extra something, glue felt on the inside of the box to make it that much more finished. Let everything dry overnight and you’re finished! A great Valentine’s Day gift for kids and adults!
