Love...Love...Love

I find it interesting that I am able to create many fabulous Valentine's items that are all about love when I am in fact not in love. :-( Sad I know, but an aspect of my life I am working on. As an avid believer in The Secret my hope is that if I embrace the Valentine's season I will send out to the universe that I am not a hater of love but a congratulator. So bring on the love universe...I'm waiting! In the meantime check out some of these great headbands I crafted up in honor of this day of love! And you thought I would stop at the cute t-shirts! The three headbands here are for your little one! I know my mom always got me a little gift on Valentine's Day so do the same for the fabulous little lady in your life!





And who says that fabulous ladies can't wear a "cool" Valentine headband too! I think the fabric used in these headbands is simply stated and beautiful!




So who knows, maybe Cupid's arrow will strike me and I will have a Valentine this year but for me sometimes it is a lot more fun to share the love which I think I have done with this great Valentine's accessories! Enjoy!

I am Branching out...only a little!

As I was wondering around JoAnn fabrics last weekend looking for fun valentine fabrics to make headbands with I got inspired. I was looking at the conversation heart fabric and said to myself..."I wonder if I could make a t-shirt with a conversation heart on it" Then in my head I went through what I would need to do. I reverted back to the sorority days when we would make our own letter shirts. I figured it was a similar concept except I needed something for the letters. Then I walked past the felt. After a couple of consults with my mom and sister and a quick review of my sewing machine manual to learn a zig zag stitch, I was ready to go. I found it interesting how much of my college experiences came back to me while I was making these shirts. In addition to being in a sorority, I also was an RA and made a ton of bulletin boards which got me pretty good at making block letters! So I can thank my college activities for the creation I am about to unveil to you. My favorite part about these awesome shirts is that they can be customized to include your favorite conversation heart saying! I really enjoyed making these and hope to make one for you soon!

So I realize that the above are shirts and not accessories but what I am finding is that now that I have learned how to sew (I only learned 1 year ago), my mind goes crazy with ideas. And I sometimes surprise myself that I am able to actual create what I am thinking...so who knows what other fun non-accessories I will come up with!
