Create!: my recent creations

i know, another blog???!!! i was sick of taking my photos from my downstairs laptop to my upstairs computer, compressing each one, and re-emailing just so i could show them to mom. so i decided to throw them all on here. just for my mom and my sisters eyes only!

i made the above to hold my earrings/ be some art on my bathroom walls. cute huh? (i wish there was better lighting to show how it really looks.)

i didn't make this jewelry but i did buy it for a bargain! my friend went back to visit her family in st. louis where they have a dollar store that sells this awesome jewelry. so she got me all this for $20!

i made the wall art on the right myself.... i also made the little tree and birdies to the left.

i've been making bracelets out of thrift store ties.

I painted this red on my wall a long time ago but i just barely put this ribbon around it to make a frame.

i just painted this yellow on the top of the entertainment center. i just bought the yellow vase from the thrift store. and i painted yellow dots on the flower sculpture thing (it holds votive candles.)

are we noticing a recent obsession with yellow? i got this bench and another one for $15 total at a garage sale recently. so i painted it yellow and put it in front of my house.

i made her hair clip out of felt. i can't do the fancy cool ones nikki makes, but i've made a couple of these.

i found another use for the yellow paint. i had some strange creative urge one day to paint on my walls again. i made the art from cardboard and a shirt that never fit me right.

another bracelet out of a tie.

i made this cute caterpillar for my friend's baby. really cute and easy! it somehow got to climbing up in my tree. here is the tutorial. p.s. i am totally obsessed with this blog! it has some easy stuff even i can do! http://www.rufflesandstuff.com/2010/05/toy-caterpillar-tutorial-with-pattern.html

i was so proud of myself for learning how to make a ruffle and putting it on the bottom of my dress that was a little too short.

a skirt i made from a shirt i got from the thrift store that i loved but was way to big for me. i also used some of this fabric in the wall art at the top of the page.
