I'm no fOoL!

First off, HaPpY foOls daY! 

Hope you're all enjoying your day of tricks, and remembering to watch your back :)

I pity da foOl today.

Alright, I haven't really got any new tricks up my sleeve to tell you about, so I had to go and borrow some. 

Have you seen the Pleated Poppy's handbag redo yet? 

Now, I'm no foOl. 

I know a good idea when I see one, and I know when it is absolutely necessary to steal these good ideas.

So that's exactly what I did.

I picked myself up a bag at ON.

Went through my scraps.

Made me a ruffle.

And a few flowers.

And ended up with this.  (I made all my flowers pins so they are interchangeable/mix and match...fiCkLe)

Even blinged up the coin purse a bit.

This one is fOoL pRoOf.  Really, easy.  And fun.  And springy.  I'm lovin' it.

For much better instruction, go here...she'll tell ya exactly how to make yours.  Don't be a fooL, go...now!

fuN with fLoWers

I started making these little flowers and I just can't stop!  I'm putting them on EveRYthInG.  Pillows, shirts, necklaces, gift bags...even babies!!  They're fun.  And quite trendy at the moment.  Seems everyone is flowered up these days.  This all kind of started when a neighbor asked me one day if I thought I could make these silly, shabby, twisty (I don't know, what would you call them?) flowers.  She had been to a baby boutique and purchased a few and I almost dropped dead when she told me how much she paid.  Seriously!  Lots of $.  Hers were a bit more fancy than mine.  But I'm hoping to get fancier, I'm still practicing.  The possibilities are endless here, and people...DO NOT pay the boutique prices for these!  They are so easy to make and you can find tutorials ALL over the place (try this one)...making your cost a LOT less.  Go try them, have fun with these silly, shabby, twisty flowers.

On Pillows

On necklaces.  I made the blue one, the white one came with the necklace.

I was selfish and made myself a shirt!

These are great in place of a bow on packages (this one is a pin).

And of course, headbands.

Okay it's been a while, but I'm back. And I'm in a mess...

I've made a whole mess of these

I'm thinking these would be fab to dress up a plain tank or tee...







Also fun to add to headbands...

























I'm selling these now for $8.00. I can do them as pins, hair clips or headbands. Or if you would like I can do two of the above (pin/clip, clip/headband, or a headband/pin) for $10.00.
