A Trio Necklace

I made this the other day.

A necklace: with sihlouettes of the boys.
It turned out better than I expected.
I love when crafts do that.

Vintage Book Journals

My latest craft project has been making vintage book journals using old books.

Kyle bought a tub of them at a yard sale, 

and even though they really were worth nothing, the book covers were so cool.

They have the best titles and cover art...

So rather then collect dust on a shelf in my garage, I turned them into journals.

I used to write in a journal every night before bed but then I started blogging and well, now I'm thinking I have a great reason to start writing again, insert cute book journal with a cool title like: O' Doctor!

Fast towel upcycle

The other day at my friendly neighborhood thrift store, I ran across these very bright and oh so amazing vintage towels.

Normally I don't trust buying linens at a thrift store (I'm just not a huge fan of bed bugs) but these looked like they had never been used so I went for it. I live dangerously.

Plus I wanted them for decoration, not to wipe my wet fanny after getting out of the shower, so I spent the $2.00 they were asking for the set.

And I love them, but they needed more.

So I sewed on some white pom-poms.

And now I love them even more!

Plus it took a whole 5 minutes to do and those are the crafts that I love the most.
