Zipper Necklace

I know, I know... all I ever blog about are my stupid crafts. But until I have children, and who knows when that'll be?!, y'all have to deal with it. So here's another...a zipper rosette necklace.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hate that Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday this year...you can't really go out and do anything on Sundays. And Ryan didn't really say what day we were celebrating it on, so this whole week Ryan's been doing random acts of kindness for me. On Friday when I came home from work this is what I came home to...


Ryan's so funny...I got a craving for Sour Patch Kids about a month ago, so he bought me this big A bag.

This is the card I made for Ryan. Of course I'm not creative enough to come up with this idea on my own, I have to steal people's. :) I copied this from a site on Etsy.

And then here is my latest project. I saw this shirt refashion tutorial on Ruffles and Rosettes (there's a link on the right side of my page about half way down). Hers is FREAKIN cute and I would pay for that shirt. Mine....eh. I don't know if I'll really ever wear it more than once. Even if I don't, I bought the shirts at Forever21 and they were only 3.50 a piece, so I'm only out 7 bucks.

I don't really like the ruffle around the top. I wish I just would have done the rosettes on the bottom. Those, I like.

Burlap Bag!

I saw this on Etsy a week or two and ago and thought I'd make this my next project. Burlap is everywhere right now and I just happened to have some in my fabric stash. The etsy site I saw this on was selling it for 40 bucks...total cost of mine...including the $9 stencil I bought off etsy...$13. :) I'm feeling pretty frugal.

Before I added the handles....I realize the stencil isn't perfectly centered. :)

The finished project...my mom made the flower pin a while ago. Thanks mom!
