Spring Peek!

Hello there! The snow has melted (again) and I'm definitely in the mood to create! (aka not grade papers and edit, boo...) 


Salvador-Vintage Lace Grey Linen Bib Necklace

What do you get when you take recycled scraps of linen and antique lace to a party?

I'm in love with fusible interfacing right now!  I promise to post a tutorial soon.  All of these necklaces are no sew.  The one on the bottom is inspired by a necklace on Anthropologie.com and the one on the left from the depths of this crazy brain of mine:-)  Enjoy!

What are you doing to celebrate Spring?

Preparing for the Show Friday

Well, the count down has certainly begun.  With t-minus 2 days and counting, I've been crafting up a small storm.  This storm may or may not involve feathers, which makes for quite the flurry!

Not quite like this day in Fargo a couple years ago though:

So, the lilies in my yard are officially poking up and to celebrate I started making some flower clips.  What do you think?  Only for little kids? I don't think so! I normally avoid fake flowers, but these will last forever and who doesn't want their orchids to last forever?

Also my friends are all talking about the growing trend of putting feathers in your hair.   They even wrote about it in the Fargo Newspaper. Apparently, you can glue them in and they stay for weeks, all the while withstanding washing and styling. I don't want to pay $20 so I made an alternative version that I can take out whenever I want. I'm hoping they'll be a hit in such fun colors!

And of course, I couldn't help but bring out my stash of gray linen to even out all these hot colors.  I'm thinking about also making these in a itsy bitsy teeny weeny version.

Which is your favorite?  Is it time for a giveaway?
