A brief sampling

Here are just a couple of the things I could find to show you all... I'm in the middle of packing up my life to move from Clive, IA back to Maple Grove, MN for a week and then I'm moving out to start grad school in Denver for 2 years!
Needless to say, my life will be pretty crazy for the next 2-3 weeks or so until I am settled in Denver!

Some fabulous (but kind of fray-ing) burlap placemats. My no sew fray gel didn't work so well... I'm going to get a sewing machine to these babies once I get home to MN!

Made this last summer... but it's a piece of old barn wood that I treated and added hooks to! (Oh, and that awesome coat? A $4 Goodwill find!!)

A quick (and bendable) bracelet. This one is mine but I also gave 1 to my mother and 1 to my aunt for mother's day!

Some earrings, I've made about 4 pairs of these... the other 3 I have as gifts

Made this last summer as well... and please don't mind my packing mess... but this was a cheap $5 Target mirror at one point. I added an old closet door to the back for support and some painted trim as a frame around it! Good thing my family was doing a house remodel at the time because all the materials were free! 


As I said, I have a few clothing pieces that I will be making once I get back to MN. I am looking to buy a sewing machine of my own eventually, but I'm pretty low on cash (thanks AmeriCorps!!)

I really hope someone reads this because I truly love these little side projects of mine even though people think I'm crazy sometimes! :)
