day 36 - Button LOVE

 

I am sure we all have a fondness for buttons. In my opinion, the vintage ones are best. I have so many and most are just in jars, not being used but I have this weird habit where I want to make something with them but HATE to use them so most of the time I walk on by and just watch them look pretty in their jar.

 

This time I decided to use them by making something I had already made before in a different color scheme .

 

 

I used a vintage embroidery hoop attached some pink burlap then added some white vintage buttons in the shape of a heart.

 

Sweet right? These are fun to hang in a group setting in your studio or in a vignette for Valentines Day.

I made one in regular burlap and red buttons too - cute and all in a group - I think would make a beautiful addition to my Valentine Décor.

 

Hope your staying crafty!

February Goals-day 35

Just wanted to share my goals for this month.

 

When I say finish January Project Life - I basically want to stay on target. You know not be working on February in October...

 

Ideally I'd like to lose more than 5 pounds but I figure if I start small & lose more then I'll be stoked but if I start low and only lose 3 or 4 pounds then I wont have missed my target by too much.

 

 

Hair Appt - scheduled for Feb 28th -

 

I have always wanted to learn to really sew and a quilt seems basic until the binding - so I think I want to start one but keeping it open to perhaps taking a sewing class and learn to sew my own clothes...either or

 

I am planning on finding the absolute most awesome vacation yet. I wanna do Hawaii but not sure or maybe another beachy destination. I'll let you know how that goes.

 

Keeping up with my business is my number 1 priority so I am hoping to list more than once a week but AT LEAST once a week.

 

O.k. simple goals and totally do-able.

 

Hope you have a great month.

Hey Cupcake - day 15

Oh my another handmade card that could work for a friends birthday card or for your sweet LOVE...I am kind of embarrassed to admit this but I love making cards and always manage to put them aside somewhere after I make and blog them BUT almost NEVER give my handmade cards to family or friends {wah wah wah}...let alone give cards as a general practice. Sad story but its something I want to work this year.

I want to make the effort to show the people in my life that they are special to me. On a regular basis.

Here is my card

 

Love the colors = really make the card look FUN! I just had a thought---you could write on the little banners off on the left, write some things that are special about the person you are giving this to.

!genius!

 

So back to my rant about making people feel special - I know people are all over the web shouting and sharing their WORD for the year...I had previously decided NOT to play along but I think I have changed my mind...I think my word is going to be: PURPOSEFUL {HUH?} I think that's a word? But it's my word, regardless.

To me it means doing things with purpose...with meaning...especially when its someone I love. Giving it my all, exercising all the energy I can give to that person when they need me in that moment...You may think I am usually a real heel to my friends but I'm not, promise. I do however, kind of stay clear of getting "Involved" in others peoples issue...I try not to care. But I do and I think it's time I start showing it. At least that's the plan.

 

what a mouthful...guess I had some time to think today {wink wink}

 

Happy Crafting
