A very productive Friday!

I woke up with my determined face on this morning. I cleaned the house, made a necklace in a new color combo that I love, and made a new dress for a poor, plastic flower pot all before Nicholas got home from work. 

          New rosette necklace in pink and white polka dot and gray with pink apple dots.

Coffee can turned flower pot!

Be happy.

Elastic rosette headband

Okay, so I got started and couldn't stop! I didn't have enough chain [since I usually don't make jewelry], so I made this elastic headband. Too bad I can't keep these elastic headbands on my head! 

I guess I made someone a cute gift!

Fabric flower necklace

I have seen several similar things like this selling online for hefty prices. I finally gave it a shot, and it was easy and pretty quick! I was very pleased with the way it turned out for a trial run!

Valentine Cupcake

I have been wanting to make cupcakes forever now, but not just any cupcakes..I wanted to decorate and have cute cupcakes. Yesterday, my sweet husband bought me the piping tips and bags I wanted, so today I got busy. It took me far longer than it should have, and I think I ate the equivalent of 3 cupcakes in batter alone. But I was pleased with the way they turned out for my first attempt, especially the chocolate hearts.

YUM!

I can't wait to experiment some more!

2011 Calendar

Quite a while back I came across this cute calendar at Ginger and George and I fell in love with it. I finally got the time to get one put together, and I love how it turned out. I used some of her ideas as well as a few of my own. Can't wait to find it a home in my home!

[note: I made it after January was over, and accidentally used the January page for a grocery list. Oops]

My apologies for the terrible photos.
