Just when you thought you had enough with all of those summer shirts...
Now a necklace, made with tiny glass pearls and a sweet Swarovski crystal cross.
Inspired by Lizzy and Jane's necklaces during my umpteenth viewing of Pride and Predjudice on a blustery winter's day. Oh yeah--and a little Colin Firth. Oh. my. goodness.
What to do with all of those bits and bobs too precious to throw away? Sweet pendants and charm bracelets using the Martha Stewart Crafts kits at Michaels, of course!
I stood in front of the Martha Stewart Craft isle for hours yesterday, determined to finally purchase something from all of that goodness. I've browsed it many times, so overwhelmed with trying to decide that I'm only to leave the store empty-handed. I want one of everything, please.
Drawn by their simplicity, I finally settled on several packages of the memory pendant and charm bracelet kits, with visions
of tiny circles of fabrics peeking out from the charms. Good gracious,
Martha really has that packaging thing down, doesn't she?!
(pendant back)
An endless source of gifts with just a bit of scrap fabric. Oh, the possibilities! Children's prints, Japanese prints, Liberty prints...
Fabric scraps mixed with photos, tiny rubber stamps, fancy papers...
Goodness, I think I'll get back to those kits now! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend, full of fun crafts and inspiration, too!
