Today, instead of watching Football...

Hey :)

Happy Superbowl Sunday!

Ahhhhhhhh!

I secretly don't understand football. Shh. My family didn't even stay at the party we were at to watch the end of the game... So I don't know who won.

On a different note, I made another necklace today!

I had a simple necklace with lots of random recycled pieces in mind and I'm really happy with how it turned out.



I found the creepy little jester when I was antiquing on Saturday and I knew he was destined to be on my necklace!

I've got a semi-big project coming up this week, let you know more about it tomorrow. :)

Happy Sunday!

Look what I made!

So remember how I said I wanted to start making jewelry again?

Well over the weekend I was hit with inspiration and I made this pretty necklace. :)

I'm pretty proud of how most of the materials are recycled. I like to re-use stuff, not as much because of the whole "go green!" thing, (which is still awesome) but more because I always see new uses for things and can't bear to throw them away.

Now you think I'm a hoarder.

I'm not, don't worry! I most definitely know how to clean stuff out. Except maybe fabric. I have trouble throwing that stuff away, I currently have three suitcases and a cabinet full of it.

Anyways, most of the chains are from old necklaces, as are the jumble of beads. I did buy the leather for the rosette, (yes, it's made of leather!) but I bought it at an outlet fabric store so it's sortof recycled.

The new week starts tomorrow! I hope you are as energized as I am :)

Current Projects

Hey. :)

So as fellow creative people, I'm sure you all know how it is to have fifty billion projects going on at once. This is me, so I decided to narrow it down to five.

Project #1. Sewing a pretty scarf for my Aunt with chocolate brown velvet and this gorgeous vintage trim.

Project #2. Going through my wardrobe and re-inventing/altering things that may be a little too loved to wear. :)

Project #3. Making jewelry again. This isn't really a single project as much as a group of them... I used to make jewelry a few years ago and filtered off since sewing became bigger. I have a ton of pretty vintage necklaces that my grandmother gave me (yay for grandmas with vintage things to give you!) and am looking forward to finding a brave new use for them.

Project #4. Re-doing my room! Found this chair at a thrift store,

 which will be my color inspiration, and this stack of suitcases which I desperately wish I could use in real life.

Tomorrow I hope to get my shipment of this (courtesy of fauxpanels.com)

                                                        up on my walls. I'm really excited.

Project #5. Turn these vintage tablecloths into pretty spring dresses for myself. (Spring is only two months away! It's important to be prepared. )

Hope you had a lovely day!
