Friday - best day ever!

Mandy and I had a super crafty/inspirational/productive day Friday :-)! We spent the morning walking around a pretty chic cute part of Little Rock. Then we went to the sweatshop and made lots of frankensteins!

Mandy made this super cute hat complete with tiger ears!!

I successfully completed this necklace from an old tshirt and some beads. I want to do another with more strands and more beads.

I also attempted this with the other half of my old tshirt...but I don't have any pics of it. ...and it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped.

It was so much fun! I'm really glad we helped get each other back in the crafting groove.

Thanks Mandy! Love youuu :-)

Friday progress :-)

I've been slowly making flowers...I don't know why I'm making all of these for my frankenstein when I have a rubbermaid tub full of odd  mismatched flowers. I'll probably end up using some of them anyways...but I really wanted to make some super cute flowers. Here are a few of the ones I've already finished :-)

Sorry for the kinda poor quality of the photos...but I think you get the idea. I've got plans for embellishments as well. It's going to be super fun I think! :-) 

p.s. Is anyone else super relieved that it's Friday??! I would have posted the Rebecca Black - Friday song...but I love you all so I wouldn't want to subject you to that.

Accidental Inspiration

OK, I accidentally came across some bouquets on Etsy while I was searching for a bridesmaid's dress bc my roomie is getting married soon. I know what you're thinking, "Bridesmaid dress lead you to bouquets....how did that happen?" Honestly, I don't know...I think it was fate, because it inspired me to try out a new idea -- crocheted flower bouqets! I hope my Frankenstein will be cute...we'll see I'm going to start crocheting flowers now!

p.s. here are some of the items that inspired me!

You can find these in RBK Creations Etsy shop!

And you can find these in muscariwhitesflorist's Etsy shope :-)

I hope you're having a good week!

I Live For Weekends!

Three fabulous things happened this weekend:

First, I got to use my vintage 1965 KitchenAid mixer that my wonderful boyfriend gave me! I made some home made buttercream icing for a cake I was making.

Thanks Joshie!!

My best friend in the whole wide world since Kindergarten, turned 20 last tuesday. SO, I made her a cake. It's a smiley face cake because she loves smiley faces :-) and I love her!!

Happy Birthday Lauren!!

ALSO, my awesome family and I spent yesterday at my new house putting down new flooring. It looks like a different house, I'm not kidding. Here are some before and after pics.

Before

After

So, now I have to say goodbye to the weekend and fun and freedom...because I have three big tests this week, which is why I can't even go to craft night at church. BOO for church activities on Monday nights. Perhaps I'll find a second to be creative this week, we'll see.

be crafty!
