Enjoy your Saturday, Lucy is sure enjoying hers!
Here’s a little something I played around with this past weekend. I saw these cute headbands on various blogs and thought they were pretty cute. Then during a routine visit to the fabric store I noticed lots of knits on the half-off bargain rack… who could resist? I caved and promptly purchased some knits to make some of my own!
I had plans to do a whole how-to spiel on making one of these, but I haven’t quite nailed down how to finish the back yet. The current method isn’t that great, and I’m determined to master a better way. And now, since I have my new toy with me I can get right on that and whip up a tutorial for you in no time! (well, let’s hope that’s how it goes…)
In the mean time, here are some views of the headbands on…no commissioned models this time…bear with me and my poor modeling skillz:
p.s. I’m slowly learning how to actually code some things on this blog. I made cute little pinterest and twitter buttons on the sidebar. Check ’em out and follow me!
Besides coming back from the T.O.L. with tons of fun creations, I also brought this lovely machine home with me!
My mom got a new sewing machine which bumped the others down a spot in the line and this one became mine! It’s the machine I’ve really learned how to sew on, so I’m already familiar with it. It’s been waiting for me for a while now, I was just reluctant to bring it back to Columbus with me because I really don’t have a ton of room for sewing here. But I’ve decided to suck it up and figure out how to make do with little available space I have.
Now to figure out where to put it…
My sibs and I used to get National Geographic’s kid-version magazine, “World,” remember it?
from wikipedia.com
Anyway, I remember at the back of every issue there would be a page called “What in the World?!” (I can’t guarantee that the punctuation was really like that, but you get the idea) where they would take close up pictures of a frog’s skin, a Popsicle, broken glass, etc and you would have to guess what it was.
I went to Toledo this weekend and had a craft extravaganza with my mom working on several different projects that I had been thinking about/in progress/wanted to start. We got a TON done. I mean, it’s almost ridiculous as to how much craftiness went down this weekend.
Unfortunately I can’t blog about it all right now; some of the things are gifts that I have yet to give and I can’t ruin the surprise on here! Until I get to blogging about all of the awesome creations, I’m going to give you your own dose of “what in the world?!” with little snippets of projects that I worked on this weekend.
what in [steph’s] world!?
Stumped? Super excited? It will all be revealed in good time, so make sure to come back and find out!
If you’re really stoked about all the great stuff to come and haven’t already subscribed, go ahead and click on the link to the right and subscribe to the blog! I’m also on bloglovin’ so you could do it that way, too (there’s a link on the sidebar) Thanks so much!
Happy Monday! This post is going to be short because there is another one coming in just a few short hours! But I said I was going to stick with Music Monday, so I’m going to keep my word.
Brandon is really into Foster the People right now. He likes every single song on their album, Torches, which is really rare, (there’s more to them than just “Pumped Up Kicks” and “Don’t Stop” which were the two songs I originally thought of when he started talking about them) In light of his enthusiasm for the band, this week I picked one of their songs. Enjoy!
