Catching Up

It feels like forever a lifetime has past since my last craft post. I’ve been having a blast catching up on some crafting I haven’t really been able to do in the past month or so. I’ve been burning my fingers with the hot glue gun, but loving the outcome, so I haven’t been too concerned about my fingers. I saw a post on U Create where flowers were made out of satin fabric and fell in LOVE. I have made a ton few of them and Miss Ellie and I have been wearing them all over.
I bought Miss Ellie a skirt for $1 at Walmart the other day and needed a shirt to match, but couldn’t find anything that worked. I remembered seeing a tutorial for a tuxedo shirt at U CREATE that I knew would work. I did a few things differently like a strip of ruffles made from an old t–shirt around the edges instead of lace and I love the way it turned out. I was pleasantly surprised that the old shirt matched the skirt perfectly. I also made a rosette headband for her using some of the old shirts I used and buttons.

I then attached them to some headband elastic and I LOVE how cute Miss Ellie looks in her outfit.

Last, but not least here's a picture of my two little cuties having fun in their kiddy pool the other week! Aren't they so cute?

Jewelry Organizer

So I was inspired by all the many different types of Jewelry organizers out there, but wasn't seeing quite what I wanted so I went to work. This is what I came up with. I already had the wood laying around from another project, so all I needed was the hardware and the metal. I went to Lowe's where I found the hardware and the metal grand total was about $5.00. I painted and sanded the wood before applying the hardware.

I then measured the roof flashing and cut it to size. Now my flashing was a tiny bit warped after cutting, so I took it to the garage and hammered out the kinks.

I then cut out some cute fabric about an inch bigger than the metal and glued it using E600.

After it dried I glued it to the wood.

While it was curing I glued magnets to the back of my tins and let them settle. I have to say that I love it. It holds my necklaces so they won't get tangled like before and my earrings and bracelets are separated so that's another good thing. I may decide to use something else to hold my earrings and bracelets, but for now these dollar target tins will do.

I hope you like this as much as I do.
