Revealing My String Art Project - Remember that string art project from last week? Here is the final product: I was finally able to get it out the door, to the mailman, and safely delivered to my cousin. It was a little housewarming gift, and yes, I'm a little sad I couldn't keep it for myself. We have no "e"s in our family, but I felt like I did such a great job and it turned out so nice that I didn't want to let it go. Oh, well, I guess I'll have to make another. :) This D

I've been eyeing some lovely string art projects on pinterest for the past few months and all I have been able to accomplish thusfar is pinning them to one of my diy boards. This is one of my favorites, and has been gaining a ton of new likes on Pinterest. I finally got to try it out last weekend.I was commissioned by my cousin to make a monogram key holder and I knew this would be the perfect project for me to try out some string art. .....................................

Oh, man, I loved this project! It's always fun to make something and give it away to someone. They love that it's handmade, and you know it's something so unique and personal that they can't hate it! This is my secret project: a crochet baby blanket made for a very good friend of mine. She has two twin boys at home, but just had her third, a girl. She wanted to be surprised at the delivery, and she was, but I just had a feeling it was going to be a girl and would tell her at

I have some serious catching up to do! ................................ Here's a cowl scarf I whipped up with some remnant yarn. A friend sent me some extra yarn she had, and said " I know you can find somthing to do with this." Well, I did. I used it to make a cowl scarf, then I sent it back to her! I think I want to try making a mobius cowl next, they look so fun, but maybe a little challenging too. #100craftydays #yarn #crochet #gifts

My Secret Project is finally done! I can't say it was easy, it was definitley time consuming, and frustrating, but it was something new I had never attempted before, so that was kind of expected. The colors are awesome, they look so great together, I will have to go back and figure out what kind of yarn I purchased, because it was super soft and a really nice heavy weight. I'll post pics of the whole thing next week. See all secret project posts here. #100craftydays #crochet

This week I decided to start a project that I am not ready to share with everyone quite yet. It's my secret crochet project, and it's about halfway done. This little corner is all you get to see of it for now. It will be end up being a gift, but for now you will have to wait a bit to find out what it is! Any guesses?

I serioulsy love to wrap gifts. It's a sickness. I spend so much money around the holidays with all the ribbon, tags, and fun gift bags. They all have to be color coordinated and everything. For this package, the inside was the fancy part. I saw this pin, along with several others, on how to wrap baby clothes like a cupcake. So easy. This gift will soon be shipped off to a friend. #100craftydays #craft #diy #gifts

This is another super simple craft involving two of my favorite things: mason jars and chalkboard paint. Martha Stewart has a brand of paints that includes black chalk paint. It's a tiny bottle, but I only needed it for a tiny project. Plus, it's full coverage, so I didn't have to spend time putting on a million coats of paint and waiting for them to dry inbetween. We all know how I have no patience waiting for these kinds of things. Materials: mason jar - your favorite size
