LETTER

I was at Michaels today looking around and found this cute white letter with a hook in the clearance rack for $.50! It was kind of boring, so i grabbed a piece of scrapbook paper while i was there and spruced it up a bit!!

NECKLACE

I made this a while ago, but thought that i would add it on here! I've seen these washer necklaces all over and decided to make my own! I borrowed my mom's letter stamps and came up with this!!



AMA - Alax (my husband) Marlee (my daughter) and Alyssa (ME)
I was later informed that this is also an acronym for American Medical Association...hmm..maybe i'll make a new one :)

FLOWERS

After knitting the ear warmers, i really wanted to knit some cute flowers for my daughter, so yet again, i found a video on youtube, and came up with this!! It was super easy. All you need to know is how to knit, purl, and cast off. Really simple!










I used the same yarn and button as the ear warmer. Now we match :)

FAUX CURLED ROSEWOOD WREATH

I found this faux curled rosewood wreath made of recycled book pages and fell in love! This will be my next project!!

FIRST ATTEMPT

Don't mind the horrid picture, but this is what i came up with.



It looks okay on me, but it's a little bulky.. I bought some thinner yarn and started working on it tonight, so I will post the results soon!
