Should I keep/give/sell?

What to do with these little clippies? I saw some for sale on the blog MADE, and knew that I could make them myself. So I did.
They're really cute, but I'm not sure just how far I can go with wearing them because they are for little girls. The cactus rocks & the heart is great for Valentine's. What do you think?

I decided my plain canvas school bag needed a bit of decoration. Here's what I came up with.
It's not I just used some scrap fabric for a decorative top band and my Yudu to put my name & a bird on it. It was supposed to have a lot more than this, but wouldn't you know it? This canvas joker broke my sewing machine needle, and my back up needle! All within 5 inches of each other. I ended up hand-stitching the top band just so I could call it finished. There were supposed to be pockets and everything, but alas. I'll just have to go to JoAnn's soon. (Like I needed an excuse!)

I'm getting really good ......


I'm getting really good at stealing other people's ideas. I mean, like exactly. Here is my version of an awesome jersey scarf: <---- ----

And here is the one from Make It and Love It. The only difference is theirs is significantly longer. I think mine would've looked better longer, but I didn't want to buy the extra fabric. What do you think? The tutorial to do it yourself is at Make It & Love It blog, or you can just click here.

I told ya...


Here's my version.... I'd say it's probably 99.99% the same as the one featured earlier. I love it... and so does the hubby. He keeps putting it in the middle of the living room couch... even though the living room furniture is moss green. :)

Check out this snow...


There's so stinkin' much snow, that I haven't been to work in a week. And more snow is predicted for Monday. This stuff is getting ridiculous! Check out a couple of neat photos I've snapped during my time off. And check out these icicles!! They're deadly!

Luckily, we've had electricity during this whole blizzard adventure, and do you know what that means? I've been getting some serious crafting done. Posts to come!
