Getting crafty.

I blame Pinterest.

I've been on a sewing and crafting kick that shows no signs of stopping.

I keep hearing how all these people have no time to DO any of the things they see on Pinterest because they're too busy pinning, but I seem to have the opposite problem.  I don't have time to pin or blog or clean my house or do laundry because I'm too busy crafting.

See?

I've been making pretty photo canvases:



And adorable cup sleeves:



Some amazing iPhone cases:



Booky shoes:



Ruffled tote bags that are to die for:



And I've even tried my hand at some nerdy book lover jewelry:



Oh, and don't forget the velvet bookmarks:


 Fair warning:  If you are a person who normally gets gifts from me, you WILL be getting some of these things for Christmas.  And since it's still January, remember I have 11 more months to continue the crafting madness.

Scary, isn't it?

    1. I may have lost my mind a bit. For some reason I can't seem to make just ONE of anything...

  2. We need to live closer so that we can get together and craft it up! Also, I just got an iphone and it didn't even think about making a case. I'm on it.

    1. Yes, just get a case with a clear back, then you can cut out as many different inserts as you want. I used scrapbook paper for some, but my favorites are fabric that I spray adhesived (is that a word?) to some cardstock, then cut out. Viola! A new case for every day of the week... or month!

    1. When you're ready to get started, I can email you some more pics :-) These are from pages of Little House on the Prairie, and were a gift for my friend Natalie. The totebag on the left has matching flowers, too.
