Some Fancy Pictures From This Weekend.

I went to a 16th birthday for my friend's daughter this weekend.  The party was held during the day at Busby's East in Los Angeles and I never noticed much of the decor (mostly because the few times I've been, it was dark and crowded with drunkassery).  But wow!  I was in hog heaven with so many photo ops.  These are just a few of my favorites from the party.  I couldn't decide for two which looked better either in color or black and white so I'm sharing both versions.

More Rick Rack Rose Rings!

A while back for my now failed craft challenge, I made some rick rack ribbon rose rings based on a tutorial I found on Pinterest.  You can see my original post here. For a custom order, I wanted to experiment with mixing different colors.  I have to say, I'm really love the black and white one!

I also made some smaller ones and glued them onto flatbback hair pins.

I have to admit that the 30 Day Pinterest Craft Challenge didn't go as well as I had hoped.  Out of the 30 days of crafts, I managed to do 15 (not including two or three unfinished projects).  I guess it's still not too shabby considering that I work full time among some other stuff I had been dealing with.  I definitely learned a lot, making things I might never have, content with staring at the projects on the screen.  I also learned a bit more with sewing and rediscovered my love and joy of making a new garment or bag.  

To conclude this Craft Challenge, I am ending it with the rick rack rose rings I made.  The tutorial from The Ribbon Retreat can be found here.  I've actually (and am also in the process of making more) made a few more which I will post later (I haven't taken any pics yet).  But overall, I loved how they turned out and already sold a few.  

BTW, it's never too early to start shopping for Christmas! :)

It's Springtime!

I made these Kawaii Springtime magnet set recently to celebrate the warmer weather even though the weather is currently bipolar. Can you see just how happy the Daisy is?
