I didn't die...

I'm still here :) I just haven't been able to update for a while! I got busy with school and I just got back from Canada.. etc. So: I've been making LOTS of button stuff. Like lots. I've branched out and make bigger bracelets with more buttons and I've been making earrings and all kinds of stuff. 

Hopefully I'm going to be able to get a stand at the Farmer's Market this summer and be able to sell some stuff. In the last 3 days of school I made $90 selling stuff! It was pretty cool. Of course I've already blown the money on more buttons and other stuff. Hahaha

Sooo here's some pictures:

I've made this kind of dangle bracelet in EVERY SINGLE colour imaginable. Seriously. These are just my favorites :D

SO. I will update more later.

Ciaaoo

Clothing?

Sooooo my stepmom gave me this cheap white babydoll tee that she didn't think fit her well this weekend.. and I decided to spruce it up. I HATE wearing just white, I must add colour. So I dyed and accessorized. Yup.

I could have killed myself because I accidentally deleted the before picture of the shirt, but just try to imagine it looking white and with plain pearly buttons. Here is what I did to it:



I still have some purple dye on my hands.. I hope it comes off! But it was pretty easy. I just bought some purple powder dye at Wallyworld and then added some cutie little buttons in place of the booooring whitish ones.
Can't wait till it gets a little warmer so I can wear this with some capris and sandals! Gah. Right now its 37 degrees. Buuuut my dashboard temp gauge says it will be 67 on Wednesday and 71 by Thursday.
Let's hope the weathermen aren't lying. I'm so sick and tired of winter!

Oh by the way.. It's my last day of Spring Break... :( But, I guess my SB was boring so I'm kinda looking forward to seeing everyone at school when they're finally home. Seems like I was the only person that didn't travel anywhere. It's killing me looking at everyones fun pictures from Florida on Facebook.. Grr.

New Obsession.. BUTTONS!

Well, its not really a new obsession.. I've always loved buttons. But now I cannot stop buying packs of random buttons at JoAnns. I'm spending all my money on bags of buttons and I don't even use half of them. Thrifty, right?
So I've been making button jewelry, and so far so good! I think I'm going to start a branch off of From The H(e)art and name it Button Up! Clever? Hehe. So here is almost a whole freaking gallery of new button stuff I've made!


All of the button bracelets laid out on my messy bed haha. I have a whole rainbow of colours!




Earrings that I've made. The apples were buttons but I cut the back loops off and sanded them down.

Sooo I really want to sell these! I can't wear earrings cause I'm allergic to metal or anything like that in my ears, but I still do anyway.. but my mom yells at me when I wear them, so I have nothing to do with all this jewelry!! I'm thinking about making a Facebook album that shows them all and lists prices. Whoever comments the picture saying they want it gets first dibs.

..But that means I should make multiples of things. Ohh boy. I guess I'm gonna have to do some labor for the money. I'm not kidding, pulling apart those jump rings and looping them through the buttons gave me blisters! Ah it hurts. But no pain no gain, right?

For days when you can't decide..

You can be both! I made these earrings today with these word beads I have, some hot glue, and earring backs. So easy!
They feel big on my ears, but my ears are weird and I usually don't wear earrings anyway.. but here are some action shots with me modeling them.. As always click the pic to make it bigger.

Sorry that I'm pale a yucky looking. More earrings laterrr I've been busy all day making tons!
:D

T-Pain + Miley Cyrus = Monday Night Playlist..

Yeah I'm definitely weird. I dunno why my taste in music has been so strange lately.. Maybe cause I have nothing else to do on Spring Break? Everyones gone!! :(
Anyway- Moving on..
I have some new JEWELRY and not felt stuff! Well, actually, I'm lying. I have more felt stuff, too..


This necklace was random.. I had the charm and a necklace and kind of made a Tiffany style necklace with the clasp at the front. However, I doubt Tiffany's would ever put a tusk-lookin thing on one of their necklaces! haha.


Simple green necklace! Yes, that is my hand and my scared birdie ring. Never take it off.



Another bird and a shoe! The shoe looks a little crumpled, but I was going mad trying to set it up straight so its just gonna have to do.

So thats it for today. I'm gonna go do some shopping to try and find a sensible dress for my confirmation this May.
By the way, I have a prom date with the most amazing guy ever.. Seriously. :)

New Felt Stuff!!

So I've been on a felt kick.. I found some cute patterns at.. *gasp* MEIJER. I was surprised.. I didn't even venture out to Michaels or Hobby Lobby. However, I want to complain to the mayor that we NEED a craft store in my area. I hate driving like a half an hour to get clasps for necklaces.
Anyway here's some new stuff I've created! I haven't had time to update much lately.. It's spring break right now and I'm stuck at home, so I'm sure there's more things to come in the next week.

Little felty birds. They are so fun.



More felt stuff!


... I have too many flowers now. haha I really should start selling them!



One of my favorites.. A little ladybug :)



Well, there will be more posts soon! I'm gonna go play Wii with Ashley now.

Birdies!

Sorry for the lack of posting lately.. I dont know what my problem is. I'm really lazy I guess. All I've been doing is making those flowers! They're so much fun. I have like 30 now.. haha
But I got in a creative mood this evening and made this necklace out of a charm from the craft store, and some stray green beads:



Here is a close up of the leaf beads hanging from the branch..




I loved the charm and was happy to think of something to hang it on :)
So.. I will probably post some pics of recent flowers soon.. When I get around to taking the pictures. My camera is being dumb lately.

OH! and my show choir got 1st runner up in our division this past weekend!!
I was pretty proud.
