Some of my necklaces, most of which I've made. I don't make jewelry very often but I will tell you that I love it! Instant gratification (at least with my very basic beading skills :) and something pretty and all your own to wear around your neck.

I didn't think when I started this macro challenge that I would be able to post a photo everyday, so far I'm keeping up--much to my surprise!

You'll never guess what I did yesterday! With the help of my sons I made a video tutorial! After seeing Cassie's on how to make a slip knot and Amy's on machine sewing bias tape , it gave me the courage to try one when I discovered a nifty little tip while sewing last weekend. I'll get that up here soon...

It rained this morning. I'm pretty sure my daisies were happy about that.

raveling + bows = new love

I'm feeling a little obsessed these days with ravel-y fabric bows, I want to stick them on lots of everything! Just for the record, I'm not a bow person. I probably sound like a liar because this new tote I made over the weekend is sporting not one but three!!  Maybe the fraying edges make them seem not so fluffy and sweet I guess. Whatever it is, yay!! for fraying fabric bows! This tote will eventually make it into my shop, possibly by the weekend.

Karin of Orange Flower has started a 30 day macro photo challenge that I'm taking part in. It's been so very long since I participated in any group thing--feels good to jump in with the others. I know I won't be able to post a photo everyday and sometimes I'll combine my photo with other posts because I like to talk a lot--but I'm going to post a macro shot as often as I can for the month. Here's my first one--a tad trippy but I like it.  And I have never taken a macro shot of my face by the way (not really a good idea when your 42..ahem..speaking for myself of course) but, this is a challenge so I'm trying new things.
