Oh so Mustard Scarf

I know, I know, I have kinda have been in scarf mode. It's addicting with all this amazing fabric to make such great scarves! I've had the following fabric for quite some time. It is a real interesting fabric. It's lace but yet it's stretchy. OH, and did I mention about the color? Mustard. It's my new favorite color. Yet, another great spring accessory. (This scarf will also be sold at the up coming craft shows {$15}. If you can't come to purchase, please feel free to contact me for an order.)

Scarves on the Mind {Jersey Knit Scarf}

Well, it is finally snowing here, hurray!!! I really do love snow (when I don't have to drive in it). Anyways, remember from my previous blog post found here, I had found some fab fabric finds at our local 2nd hand store. In the event that it is snowing out, I had to go with a white theme. You will see below what I made out of white jersey knit fabric. Super comfy, lots of texture and style!

Neat right? And, it has spring fever written all over it!

If you interested in this scarf, please feel free to contact me. The cost, $13.

Bring on the snow and spring fever!! carla.

Feeling Spring {Infinity Scarf}

So, I was out-n-about at our local 2nd hand store and I ran across some fabric, boy was I in my glory. I found some other fab finds, but I'll post about them later. Any who, I have been feeling a little spring fever, since we don't have any snow here. Below is some of the fabric I found and I just had to make something and an infinity scarf it was. Enjoy the spring fever, even though it's only February.

This scarf will be FOR SALE at the Monte Women's Expo on March 10 and Prairie's Edge Craft Show April 10 (if they don't sell out). If you can't wait until these shows to get your hands on this scarf, contact me and I will set up a transaction through Etsy. The scarf sells for $13.

Baby Gift {loafers}

The next couple months are going to be busy around here since there are so many babies being born.Yesterday was the start of the so-called "baby boom" in our group of friends and relatives. So, to start off the baby gifts, I made some sweet loafers from the Joyfolie pattern, found here. It just so happened I had all the right supplies on hand to make some little boy loafers!

I am sure I'll be posting more of my baby gifts I have planned for all these special people in our lives!

Treat {Shoe Clips}

Well as of yesterday afternoon I finished our taxes!! YIPPEEE! So, to treat myself for all that hard work and baby girl was still napping, I decided to make myself some shoe clips for my new sparkly shoes.

Have you ever heard of shoe clips? They are a fun accessory that clips onto your shoe, that is be a bow, flower, etc.

I made mine from left over fabric I had lying around and it turned out perfect!!!

Pretty cute right!!  I'll be making lots more these for my other shoes. Stay tuned for other ideas for shoe clips. Have a great Saturday!

Baby Room {refashion}

It's Wednesday!!! What a great feeling of another wonderful week with my sweet 1 year old. Well, the next project I needed to complete was done this weekend while I was completing my chalkboard painting project here. I love attending craft shows and I picked up this sweet little number at our local craft show, since this is the prayer we say to our daughter every night before we go to bed.

So as you can see this doesn't look very babyish, but the prayer is oh so important. So it needed a change up. I have it all taped ready to go for a {blue} makeover!

Ta Dahh!

Here is another picture to give you an idea of how it all fits together.

Hope this inspires you to change something with just a splash of color!

Chalkboard Paint {refashion}

I am finally getting around to accomplishing my little projects. The new thing is 'chalkboard paint in a can'. Love the look of it and the simplicity of it. So, I too had to hop on the bandwagon and make some chalkboard paint art.

As you see below I found these two small mirrors at the ol' Goodwill store for $.99 each. Had some white paint in a can from previous project, so I just had to purchase some chalkboard paint. ($4.98)

After some white paint and patience of drying, my project was complete and super simple.

End Result:

*side note: I purchased the stand from another thrift store for $.49 and I got two of them. So, grand total of $8.00 for redecorating my bathroom (as seen above) and kitchen (not pictured).

Have a Great Day!!
