He loves me, He loves me not, He loves me....Yay!

Yes, I've gone a little crazy for flowers the past week. Why? Because for the past week I couldn't get my serger to work. Luckily, Mike came to visit and helped me solve the threading problem (so I'm up and running again!).


Anyway, since I had to resort to hand sewing to calm my crafty itches, I've resorted to sewing flowers. I've used a wide range of materials already, ribbon, lace, buttons, old scarfs, and jeans. It's a lot of fun to mix and match materials to make an assortment of flowers (because no two are exactly the same of course). 

This is a rose I made out of lace. I think I can do better if I keep practicing. I've added a hair clip to the back.

I made this black one from an old scarf that's seen better days.

This red one was made to match my society colors.

This has got to be one of my favorites. This black and white one has a hair clip and a pin on the back so I can use it to dress up anything!

See? Cute hair accessory! 

Coffee Cozies

Ok so maybe I will end up making an update today anyway.

So I love to knit, and I saw these super cute "coffee cozies' on etsy.com and I though to myself "Self...you can make those too!"

Thus the adventure began.

So I knit one for my friend just to see if I can even do it. I was successful yet the colors of the were not the most attractive. (bright yellow and dark green) So I headed down to wal-mart and got some new and fun looking balls of yarn. After about 3 days of knitting I have completed two coffee "sweaters" (I call them) and several more pieces waiting to be sewn together.

I'm planning on making more and selling them on etsy for about 8 dollars each.

Here are the first two I made, I'll get better at it over time.

I'll keep you all updated on when I open my etsy shop and if I decided to make anything else.
