Sweatshirt Tote

Ok, I love to find things to make things out of and I love purses and bags.  I found a tutorial for a duct tape bag which you will see in the near future (it sounds awful but they are really cute).  This tote is made from an XXL sweatshirt I got at Goodwill.  It did not turn out at all how I wanted but I actually like it better then it was supposed to turn out (does that make sense? I haven't been drinking.).  I could do this with all sorts of shirts and fabrics tons of options.  I want to add some large flowers out of the polka dot material but never enough time in the day.  I did this last night.  It took about two hours.  It won't take so long in the future because I kind of know what I'm doing. ( Not really!!!)  Take a look and see what you think.

Betsy Bracelet

I found these really cute shabby chic bracelets on Betsy Veldmans blog and fell in love.  She made a tutorial so of course I couldn't wait to make some.  Here are two that I made over the weekend.  Some of you lucky ladies may even recieve one soon.  These are made with paper beads and fabric and a few regular beads too.  My pics are not the greatest the lighter one is light blue and browns.  Super cute.  I had fun making them after I could figure out how to sew them right.  I'm a new sewer so haven't got the jist just yet.  I hope you enjoy.

Hello! This is my first post and hopefully there will be plenty to come.  I wanted to show everyone this hat that I made for my neice Amaya.  This hat almost (almost) made me never crochet again.  I do not like to measure anything so because of that I try to eyeball everything and it took me about six of these before I felt I made one that would fit her.  Now I just hope that it does.  So hopefully you will being seeing and hearing more from my on my latest craft project that I'm obsessed with. 

Have a great day!
