Easy Saint Patrick's Day Earrings and Hair Clips (241:365)

I was at Micheal's recently and saw some green buttons for $1 a pack. I grabbed two packs, hoping to find some cute buttons inside.

I lucked out in the cute department and made some hair clips for myself and the little ladies, and a pair of emerald green earrings for myself and some clip-ons for Dee.

No one will be getting pinched around here on Thursday!

Adding to the Shop (199:365)

I added a bunch of super cute cabochon earrings to my etsy shop, getting ready for a something exciting! On Friday my shop will be featured on the blog A Few Of My Favorite Things where I'll be doing a giveaway!

Come check out some of my latest additions, like these Peachy Orchid Cabochon Earrings.

Getting the Word Out (145:365)

The Nie Nie Dialogues had a call for homemade Christmas gifts and I decided to send her some of my stuff hoping she will like it enough to share it on her blog!

Here are all of the things I sent (it is a huge opportunity!), hoping that she'll find something that she'll love enough to want to share it with all her readers.

Wish me luck!

The Bazaar (129:365)

It's finally over.

All that work and now I can sort of breathe. 

My next project is filling custom orders (yes, I had two!) and getting product up on my etsy shop.

I have put a couple of things up so far.

Check me out here!

Here are a few pictures of my display at today's bazaar.

(Those cute hats are my friend Julie's.)

I wanted to send a shout out to my honey Scott for staying up and tying bows until 1am, my mom for writing price tags until 2am, my sister for going with me to set up and for helping me stay calm, Ashley for encouraging me to try doing a bazaar and letting me share her table, and Julie for pushing my merchandise on all her friends that dropped by our table. Ashley and Julie, it was a pleasure doing business with you both. Let's do it again soon! 

You all rock!

Earrings and More Earrings (125:365)

Well, the bazaar is Saturday, so basically all week I will be posting about my stress regarding it.

I'm cranking out earrings and such like a crazy person.

My biggest stress is how to package each thing.

I've bought some nice textured cardstock that will be home to them all.

That is a project for later this week though...

Buttons and more Buttons (124:365)

Getting ready for the upcoming bazaar again. 

Today I made more bookmarks and earrings.

They are so cute! Need to post a pic soon.

Covered Button Earrings and Beef Stew (106:365)

I made more fabric covered button earrings today for the upcoming holiday bazaar. One pair in particular is hot! I'm totally making a ton of them. Even better, they are made from vintage fabric I got at an estate sale. 

And I made a beef stew from the trusty Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I have to say, I was not a big fan of the stew (my favorite from that cookbook is the Polenta and Beef Stew - Yummy!), but Scott liked it. That's all a wife can hope for, a happy honey bunch.

Also, we had Buttered Rosemary Rolls from The Pioneer Woman website.

They are super yummy and really easy. 

A family fav.

Also, have you tried The Pioneer Woman's Chicken Spaghetti?

I HEART that stuff. Even Scott likes it and there is cheese in it.

Although, I don't think he realizes how much cheese is in it, so hopefully he isn't reading this post or he'll likely stop eating it altogether (mostly out of "principle" or something)!

Regardless, that is going on our menu next week.

I'm already salivating.

Flower Earrings (42:365)

Made some cute little earrings today using this tutorial.
They were kind of really annoying to do, so tiny and hard for me to see, but I think I'll make some more anyway because they are so cute and Jane keeps begging for me to make her some clip-ons.
