Crafty

I don't know if any of you guys noticed but my sidebar of blogs that I like has slowly been filling up with crafty blogs. I have really had the urge to be creative (and slack off from school) lately. Plus I am really poor but enjoy having a new addition to my look every once in a while so I decided to try and make some stuff. The first thing (and only thing so far) I started on was making these really cute felt flowers for myself and my sister.


Mine are a bit bigger and a little more grown up looking but you get the point... If you want to learn how to make them click here

There are a few things from that blog called A Hoot & A Holler that I really want to make. This lady is amazing! She has three cute girls and is able to make all these darling little dresses and other outfits for them. I am actually trying to convince myself to pull out my sewing machine and make some of the dresses for a bigger girl (like me!)

Another thing I want to make from her website is this ruffled scarf... except I would make mine a light blue with a slight pattern on it.

Its not the best picture but its the best one I could find. It seems pretty easy to make. You can click here to learn for yourself.


The next thing I want to do is make this ruffled except figure out how to make it adult size. The instructions seem pretty straight forward but who knows how good my sewing skills are...

This is another project that I want to take on. It seems really easy and not very expensive. If you want to try it click here.

So there you go... an intro into my journey into being more crafty :-) I'm also taking a cooking class right now as well. Yup thats right I'm going to be a tree hugging, sporty, fashionable, crafty mountain woman chef. Haha.

I'm glad you got creativity and 'craftiness' - it wasn't from me!!! I am craft-challenged...

I just started getting a little crafty myself...when I inherited a sewing machine. I made a scarf last week that turned out pretty good! Come over sometime, we'll have a craft party. :)
