Crafty weekend!

This is what I've been doing on my weekend to kinda get out of the kitchen mess and take my mind off things in there. It's going well by the way.
So this first pic is a pom pom necklace I made, it's from the same material I used in Linzy's room to make her fabric board. I had left over scraps so I got to use them.
This pic is just some fabric i got in a grab bag from the DI, I put the floral fab in the pic so you could see what it looks like before it's turned into a pretty flower! I like the colors, not the fab. This purple combo would be cute on a white t-shirt or a cardigan... endless poss!
This material looks like Jean material but it's really silky! This would dress up a t-shirt and jeans! I still need to trim off the white felt on the back so you won't see any of that, and add either chain or ribbon ties or clasps to them...
This is lace w/feather cuff, These are really popular at the boutiques here in Utah. I found a tutorial on how to make them.
This black and blue on we made to match a sunday dress ashley just got. She loved the idea so we made this one last night.

So when we came up with the idea to make our own, we decided to go to the DI, we found a bag a little bigger than a wal-mart bag full of mostly lace and a little bit of fabric! We were so excited! Then we went to Savors and found quart size bags of just lace and bought them all! 5 or 6 I think. We also found a few pieces of vintage looking costume jewelry, beads and necklaces to take apart. We still need more so we'll keep our eyes open for more.
What fun we are having!
