Book my Face!

Hey everyone, come check out my facebook fan page!   I'm in the process of moving, so all my craft and sewing supplies are packed up and I wont be able to use them for a few more weeks, I'm a little bored.  I have started searching for ideas for greeting cards.  I found some really cool links and have a few that I have already made.  I have pictures on my facebook fan page.




The following are really great websites for card making ideas:


and of course, this following website has TONS of links to other websites for about ANYTHING you can think of!  From cleaning your house to building a cabinet.  From games to DIY beauty products.  AND of course a big section on crafting, crafting about ANYTHING!

Viva La Rhinestone

I have been messing around with rhinestones a little bit.  I have made a few pins with them and when I am done with moving my stuff to our new place, I think I will try rhinestones that need the special heat tool to glue them to fabric.  I'm not too sure what I will put them on, but I'm sure I will find something, then go nuts from there.   Here are the two brooches I have made so far:


This is the only pic I have of this one, rhinestones on fabric covered button.  Button is on top of a few silk flowers.


This one has rhinestones on a piece of fabric, then that fabric is wrapped around another piece of fabric, creating a bow look.


Both of these have pins on the back so you can move them about the purse, or you can take it off.  They are not too over the top, just add a little sparkle.

Christmas in September

I know they are stockings or socks, but my boyfriend calls them boots; I think its cute.  I found some really cute fabric and decided to sew a "boot" out of it.  I also finished a boot for me =).


Mom helped me embroider my name before putting the whole thing together.

Inside


Outside, room to either paint or glitter paint your own name!

These are perfect gifts to make and send to a loved one who might not live so close.  You can put little things in them to remind them of home.  Candy, deck of cards or a Christmas ornament.  ANYTHING, you can use the boot as gift wrap.  Let me know what you all think! hOhOhO
