next up: MOBILE!

I didn't make this mobile. I am not sure exactly what I plan on doing for mine, maybe cranes? abstract shapes? who knows, but I found a nice tutorial on how to make a moblie (not that it is rocket science) on this website! Here comes my next baby project! Who knows... if it turns out well, maybe I'll start making these for my etsy shop (yeah I haven't been doing much with that lately because of my obsession with making things for baby, and the orders I fill for local stores).

how to use your vintage clip-on earrings!

I love vintage clip on earrings. one problem. they hurt my ears. a few weeks ago I got an idea... why not put them on a chain and make a necklace??

supplies needed:

clip-on earrings
long chain (or two short ones linked together, like I did)

1. put chain around neck and switch out whichever earring you feel like wearing that day! It looks super cute on!

new favorite blog and person?

So, meet Lesley. She is the sweetest person, and my new friend (I gave her a note that said will you be my friend, check yes or no, and she checked yes.... just kidding, but it was kinda like that)! She writes this great blog called Homemade Grits, which has all sorts of wonderful things like how-to's, baby goodies, discounts, home decorating, just a wonderful site! She also writes a blog for Pregnancy and Newborn magazine, and was a model for their baby sling spread in this month's magazine. In it, she wore my headband! yeah! so cool! (If you click on the link she is the redhead with the green headband.)

Love these embroidered delights!

These are meant for the wall, but I think I would like to make one to wear! Esp. love this pink and green one. Hmmmm should I do something along these lines for the baby's room? Oh the possibilities!

cool styrofoam

Love these art pieces I saw on design sponge by artist kwangho lee. Gorgeous! And they are made out of styrofoam!!!!!!!! SO COOL!
