tie-twist-tac

I got a little crafty today...

A few weeks ago I was out shopping with my friend, Jessica, at an antique store and the girl working there was pretty crafty and making these cute tie broaches. They were pretty pricey, so I decided to figure out how to make it myself.

I found this super cute men's tie at a local thrift store up here in WA where I've been visiting the last couple weeks. It's Italian and made of pure silk. It was a steal of a deal at $0.99!! So I crafted this cute tie into a flower-like broach and topped it off with a vintage clip-on earring. Im absolutely in love with my new broach!!! :)

I will continue to make more, if you're interested in having one of your very own, let me know. I will be listing some on Etsy here soon! :)

Flea Market Style

I'm sitting here in the basement (when I should be sleeping) reading my favorite magazine, Flea Market Style. Its an old edition, as I haven't been able to find the newest one that just came out on shelves this month. I hope I find it soon...I'm so anxious!! :) I just get so excited looking through these magazines, getting ideas and tips...I can't wait for my next treasure hunt!! I just wish I had oodles of money so I wouldn't feel guilty about shopping! Hopefully the life of unemployment won't last too much longer so I can shop again. In the meantime, feel free to let me know if you have anything you'd like to part with for free...I LOVE hand-me-downs!!! :)

Pillow Case Project

At my craft class this evening, we sewed our first in-class project. We made pillow cases! We ended up staying about an hour past the end of class so as to finish our projects, but it was worth it because I have a finished product! Its cute and Christmas themed...too bad I'll have to wait a whole year to use it! lol :) Anyway, its fun learning to sew and I can't wait for my next project!

Cupcake Zipper Bag

My 2nd sewing project ever was completed tonight!

At my craft class tonight, we were learning more about our sewing machines and how to use them properly. So when it was over, I was very motivated to make something. So I went home and got everything out and organized, and then started my 2nd sewing project.

After a couple hours trying to figure out what I was doing (lol), I finally finished my little zipper bag. The zipper was a little hard for me to figure out how to sew on...but I did it!!! Hopefully with a little more practice I can figure out how to sew zippers on faster :)

Anyway, I'm pretty excited about my new finished product...I think the little bag is so cute! Here's my super cute cupcake zipper bag (I'll probably use it as my makeup bag in my purse)...
