Paper flowers…

I’m feeling so tired and I wanted to take the day off from crafting. But I promised myself I’d make something daily this month and I refuse to not keep a promise to myself. 

I wanted to make something easy and so I started pulling fabric for key fobs when I realized I have no hardware for them. I quickly put the iron down, and figure out something else to make. 

I was flipping the pages of this book to get some inspiration. Nothing seemed to work. I just wanted to be lazy lol


Then I saw half a tutorial on Instagram.

I quickly plugged in my glue and pulled paper. Maybe I could figure out how to make the flower center from just the tail end of the tute.


So I have it a try…


It looks okay! Right? 

Then I made another 


These are supposed to be for flower centers. But I’m thinking of making some sort of center piece with them. 

It’s a beautiful day out and the nieces want to hang out. I’ll be back tomorrow with more goodies.


Happy day <3

Doll flower crown…

Is it just me or did this week drag on? I’ve also been feeling a little drained so that might be why I think it’s been a long week. 

I decided to name another flower crown. But this time it’s for my doll Starkiss!!! 


I used mini foam flowers for this one instead of paper flowers. 


I didn’t have a model for my other flower crown, but I do for this one.

My Starkiss looks so beautiful.



And now I might have to make one for my Martini.


Have a great weekend. 

January monthly favorites…

I’m a firm believer in everything you do on the first of the year, you will continue to do all year. I have a list of things I have been doing on the first, for many years.

I spend time with Mother Earth, I go to the yard, I always craft something. I buy something handmade. Several other things that I want to do all year. 

Here are some of my favorites from my personal Instagram.


I hope you accomplish everything you want this year and cheers to an awesome 2017.
