Returning to My Crafting Love

Well I admit it I am a craft-a –holic.  I love decorating and crafting in anyway possible.  I enjoy using my hands to create so much.  But lately I have found myself doing or starting all kinds of various projects and never getting them done or not doing them as well as I would like.  So I have decided to try to focus myself a little more!  My most favorite projects of all are in Jewelry making.  So I have returned to my first crafting love and and working on creating some wonderful Jewelry.

Below I am featuring some of the first pieces I have completed since I started re-focusing.  I love them.  The earring don’t have french wires attached because quite frankly I made this set just for me and I have to wear clips.  So I have some sterling silver clips that allow me to interchange my earrings.

Anyways I hope you love them as much as me! Thank you for letting me share them with you.  Happy DIY Day and I pray that as you create this week your heart is full of joy that just as the Lord has given us hands to create He himself delighted in creating us especially for His master plan.

Sensational Sweater Upcycling Ideas

I am on a bloggy roll today! I have found so much cuteness around the web today!  Also previously I have been sharing all my favorite links on facebook and since now I have my blog totally linked to my facebook I will just start sharing them here!

On to the good stuff!  I was looking through the Country Living Magazine today the Feb.  Issue and saw the cutest thing to do with old sweaters! I have seen lots of cute upcycled sweaters from all you gals and so I thought I would share these ones!

How amazing is this!! They used an old sweater to cover an old lampshade for new look for a dining room light fixture!

Here they use old sweater sleeves to cover vases for an added look of texture and to make possible mismatched vases look cohesive!

Lastly the covered cute plastic bangles with sweater scraps to cutesify the wrist of any trendy young lady!  Sooo adorable! And yes CUTESIFY is my new made up word for the week!

For all the tips on these projects and a couple more sweater ideas, not to mention loads of other cute ideas! Check out the newest edition of Country Living or check out there website at http://www.countryliving.com/.

Scrabble Letter Fun Feature Friday

I have been so inspired lately as well as intrigued by the use of scrabble letters for decorating your home and yourself!  I have a few projects to share with you that others have featured on their blogs that are super cute and super simple! 

This adorable valentines frame was featured by a sweet blogger at For What it's Worth.  She has so many cute projects on her blog but this is one of my faves! The black and the reds accent the letters so well!  You could find frames at the Dollar Store and this would be a perfect way to use up some scrap fabric.Check out more information on this project here.

The next project is featured at a blog named Twice Remembered.  Her kitchen is to die for !  This is a cute way to use scrabble letter to make wall art.  This is actually a magnet board so the letters can be moved around for different quotes! Check out her project here

.

This project is another one from For What it's Worth!  These are the initials for someone's grandbabies.  But you could make bracelets that spell any special words! I am personally going to be making some of these with our youth group gals!  Check out this project here.

 

This last project comes from a totally cute blog called Tatertots and Jello!  This is another crafty way to use scrabble letters to accessorize any outfit!  The youth group and I are going to be working on these too very soon!   Check out how easy these are to make by clicking here!

 

 

I can't wait to make some of these and to find even more Scrabble Inspired projects!  Happy Crafting!
