I decorated rompers with two of my mommy friends today! Check them out!
The painted ones I used a stamp and fabric paint. I painted the paint on the stamp, stamped it, and then painted more on the romper so it was darker. The dog bone one is felt, sewn on with thick thread.
I made some earrings, a lariat necklace, and another necklace inspired by something I saw JLo wearing in the movie "Monster In-Law" (I didn't watch the movie, only caught that one scene with the necklace). I like working with chain these days. I haven't been selling very much, so my production has slowed to making things for myself or friends. Check out the latest!
My dad made this for our house. Check out Santa trying to get on the roof! His hands hook over the gutters. He rules!
Will's family is coming here for Christmas, so I want it to be festive for them. Just as it usually is at his parents' house. I made stockings for everyone who will be here. See...
I also made some Rudolph ornaments from wine corks. I'll be colloecting corks all this year, so I can have even more of them!
I made these earrings yesterday! They are brass, copper and sterling. I cut out the circles, filed them, sanded each side (for the the matte finish) with 3 grades of sand paper, hammered each disc into a concave (convex?) area, drilled holes, and attached with jump rings (which I also made with wire). I'm going to make a pendant to match!
Sorry for the poor photo quality, it's from my cell phone:
I made 9 more necklaces! I am doing a market tonight in Gulfport. My neighbor Simone is doing it, too. It will be fun! Here are the latest necklaces. I have to get them on my website!
My favorite is the one with the green pendant and the yellow stones.
I'm doing a market on Saturday in Gulfport. I have a lot of stuff to make this week, so I have a full table! I just made 10 rings. Check a bunch of them out!
Here are my Ernie and Bert pumpkins! They're a little rough. This is the first time I've done this in many, many years! I'm off to toast the seeds (pepitas!) now! Happy Haunting!
The past couple of nights, I've been making jewels! I've made 9 new necklaces so far. Two are gifts, but the rest I'm going to add to what I have "in stock" to sell at a craft fair in November AND in a store in Venice, FL. I need to continue to make 4 or 5 a night, and then make earrings, brooches and maybe bracelets (for you, Shelly!). Here's what I've made so far...
My sister-in-law Julie is having a baby soon! In 2 weekends, Will and I will attend her baby shower near DC. I made some crafts for the tables and the favors. Check them out! (click on any picture to see a bigger view.)
Here are the lifesaver/jelly bean pacifiers for the table! I know that if I stuck them together with frosting, they would be edible, but I trust hot glue way more than I trust frosting. And this way, I wasn't eating frosting while making them!
Here are the favors. I made 18 brooches! The blue with pink sparkles is my favorite...
