Friday Fun Feature - A different kind of singed fabric flower

Maybe you all have seen this before, but I hadn't until earlier this week. How cute is this singed fabric flower!?! I love it.

I made one this morning and I'm wearing right now. I will definitely be making more of these!!! Photo and tutorial from Craft Snob.

Friday Fun Feature - Wood

It's been a while since I've done a Friday Fun Feature, so today there will be more than one! I've noticed wood being used a lot in crafting lately and I love it! And I don't mean 2 by 4s, I mean wood straight from the tree in your front yard.

This beautiful cake stand from Once Wed


Wood thumb tacks

and photo holder, both from Homework

I'm also crushing on this vase from Tradewind Tiaras.

And the one that started it all for me...carved initial centerpiece from Etsy seller BraggingBags.


I think it's time to bust out the saw and the wood burning tool!

Friday Fun Feature - Crochet Headband

How cute is this crochet headband from You Seriously Made That!?


I love me some headbands, even though I don't wear them very often, so I decided to make my own. There was only one problem...I don't crochet. Not even a little (I'm one of those people who doesn't really know the difference between crocheting and knitting). In some of the close up pictures of Cami's headband I noticed that the strands of yarn almost look like braids. I can totally braid! I got out some narrow ribbon and braided away.

Now, Cami lists her measurements in crochet terms, so I did a quick little google search to find out how long 300 chains is (about 5 feet). So I measured three strands of ribbon about 5'6" and three strands about 3 feet long. If I were to do it again I would make my strands a little bit longer, you'll lose quite a bit of length when braiding. Once I had my two braids, which took just over half an hour, I followed Cami's instructions for assembly and I think it looks remarkably similar. I think the biggest difference is that mine is narrower, which I actually like.
So now whether or not you crochet you can make a super cute, easy and fast headband!

Friday Fun Feature - Skirts I Want to Make Someday

I have this really bad habit of bookmarking websites or sending myself URL's in emails of projects I want to make someday but not saving the pictures anywhere. Which is all fine until the link no longer works (which I've had happen several times). So this is more for my sake than yours, but here are some pictures of skirts and dresses I would like to try and recreate someday!

Friday Fun Feature - Valentine's Crossword Puzzle

How cute is this crossword puzzle valentine?! I want to make one for my hubby (but I am the one who is more into crossword puzzles and we don't do Valentine's day). I found it here at I'm a Mom not a Professional.

Friday Fun Feature

I thought I would start featuring other people's creations once a week. Today seems like as good a day as any to start (well actually better because 1. I don't have pics taken of any of the projects I've finished and 2. I really like alliterations). I'm always open to new things, so if you would like me to feature something you've made send me an email!

For my first Friday Fun Feature I give you this awesome binder wall organizer from Creativity Is.... Lori (hi sis!) uses it to keep her weekly grocery ads and coupons and such organized (and off her floor!). Head on over, take a look, and give her some love. Also, make sure you stop by there tomorrow for her first ever link party!

It is very much like the book organizer I showed you in this post, but using a three ring binder. I thought using a binder was such a great idea that I actually made one the other day, but instead of covering mine with cute paper, I slipped a calendar page into the front pocket so it doubles as a memo board (dry erase markers come off the plastic beautifully).
Happy Friday! Have a great weekend and I'll be back on Monday with something new to share. :)
