Tender Rose Earrings

I couldn't help myself when I saw these little rose buttons at Jo Anns!! I HAD to make earrings!! They are just so pretty. I was going to just cut the button shank off the back and put them on posts, but I decided to add some little green fabric leaves too (which I painted with fabric glue so they wouldn't fray). Here's how they turned out:

As you can tell Idon't wear makeup very much when I'm home!!

AND REMEMBER, ONLY A FEW MORE HOURS UNTIL I PICK THE WINNER OF MY HEADBAND GIVEAWAY!!! When I post the winner tonight, I will introduce another one up for a giveaway!! Tell your friends :)

Braided Jersey Headand WIth Bow GIVEAWAY!!

*THIS GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED*


Okay, I finally did something, even though small, for my first giveaway!!! This braided headband is made from a thrifted Tee, and the bow is from my scrap fabric. Finished off with damask ribbon accents. Hand sewn, and some hot glue for durability. Who says hot glue isn't couture, right? It's neutral with a little pop of color. The bow is set back toward the ear a little bit more on purpose. This way, when the hair is worn up, the bow is right at the side of the head instead of sitting all " wonky" right on top! Maybe that's just my opinion??? Made to fit a wide range of heads, and yes, that is a brand new no slip elastic pony tail holder at the bottom for the adjustableness :)   And I might also say that I HAVE NEVER been able to wear these kind of headbands. They slip right of my head. For some reason, this one does NOT do so, it stays right on... How nice...

The giveaway is going to last until Wednesday night, March 24th. Simple rules are as follows:

1. If you like it, leave me a comments saying so!!

2. If you really like it, leave me two.

3. Extra points if you become a follower!

4. You cannot win if you DO NOT comment!

Enticed yet?? Hope you like it!! Once the giveaway is over, and winner is chosen, I will contact you by email shorty thereafter (like my big fancy words?) for an address!! Have fun, and good luck!   - Becca

PS. Sorry for the BAD modeling pics, I'm not a natural model, especially after a long day, and NO MAKEUP!!!

A New Necklace/ Recycling Idea All In One!

Last night I dissmantled a necklace I bought from Forever 21. For my stature, it was to much... AND ahem, I'm on the busty side, so too much necklace looks bad :) I took half of the chains off and the longest strand of pearls.

It looked much better just like that, but I decided to add some emerald jersey rosettes on the side, and matching earrings from the leftover chain/pearls.

It's nothing to flashy, but a litte more dressed up than I normally wear. I love looking at jewelry, and sometimes I enjoy making it, but wearing it is rare for me. So that's all I did, and If I can get a few comments on this post I will do a rosette necklace tutorial/ giveaway!! Yep, that's right, my first giveaway!!

And to cap this post off, I just got this monster print flannel  from Jo Anns, and I made My son a monogramed toy sack (freezer paper stencil) and a changing pad from it. Notice the inside of the changing pad is a recylced plastic shower curtain, so it's wipeable. When my old one got moldy at the bottom, I salvaged the top 15 inches that was never touched by water, wiped it clean just in case, and used it. Wala!! Another way to repurpose and recycle!!!
