A new look for an old brooch.

If many of you are like me, then you have seen your mother wear at LEAST a few brooches in your lifetime. And when you were young, you probably thought, there is no way your ever going to catch me in a brooch." Well my loves, times, they are a-changin. I have recently turned my attention to learn more about the 'brooch'. I have in fact learned that not all brooches have to be in fact huge, shiny, rhinestone-y monstrocities. In reality, they can actually be quite fun! I have those AWESOME chiffon flowers in my supplies case and i couldnt help but create some of my own. WITHOUT any influence from my mother :)

This one is my favorite, which is why i decided to share it with you :) Not only can you NOT go wrong with either Ivory or Coral, but throwing them both together just makes everyone happy!!! So go out today, find some supplies, and get yoru brooching on!

DIY Personalized Mugs

So I did it. I finally ripped one of those diy craft pages from a magazine and actually did it! Luckily, I did have most of the supplies I needed already at home, and the rest were easily purchased at the 99 cent store. Not joking. These diy personalized mugs cost me a whopping 99 cents each. Not only are these so easy to make, but they make an amazing gift for absolutely anyone! So ok, heres the supplies list. Needed : Sharpie Permanent Marker (choose your own colors) Ceramic Mugs( I bought mine at the 99 cent store for GASP! .....99 cents) Oven Oven mits and a little helper to assist with the art aspect of this DIY :) Take your mug and decorate it with the permanent sharpie marker. Let your imagination run wild! Let your little one decorate it for their grandparents and give them an awesome 'just because' gift :) Then put your mug in a preheated oven (350 degrees) and bake for 30 minutes. Take out with OVEN MITS and sit on counter to cool. DO NOT use your hands to take out the mug. You WILL get a nice litle burn! Need a valentines gift but cant think of any? Well this one is perfect! Just make the doodles Valentines-ish, and put a red and pink ribbon around the handle and BOOM! You have your personalized Valentines Day Mug. Or fill it with a certain someones favorite treat. Either way, you cant beat this simple and awesome DIY.

Welcome :)

I am so excited to finally be the proud new parent of my new blog site! Ive decided to come out of the stoneage and officially join the club :) If youve purchased from my shop before, you know how much love and work i put into the creation of every single handcrafted accessory. It makes my heart happy hearing feedback on how much someone loves a product that they bought from me. Its what keeps my creative juices flowin'! Since spring is not that far away, Ive decided to start experimenting with new product. My new obsession is stretch lace! There are so many things to create with this material and im so excited to see what i come up with. xoxoxx, Kim
