On my worktable today...vintage lace

With two more weeks left before the show and a million things to do, here's a look at what I am creating today...

What do you think?  Since I live in the South, I have to offer more crafty than artsy items to sell enough at festivals to make it all worth it, and so I come up with these ideas that I think are super brilliant, but sometimes wonder "is it just me?"  I made them with scraps of dyed linen overlayed with vintage lace pieces left over from my artworks.  I think they are adorable, but I also have a soft spot for lace.  If there is lace on it, I will look twice, no matter what it is.  I got the idea from this etsy jewelry artist, whom I have spent many days ogling her vintage lace necklaces and wishing I could splurge on myself.  Any lace lovers out there?  It was totally the "in" thing last season, I think the world has moved on to geometric shapes in clothing and jewelry design in the present though.  How people keep up with changing trends, I couldnt say.  Large expendable income I suppose, or a deep love for accessorizing.  I am still stuck on lace.  Any thoughts about these are welcome, I could use some perspective, other than my obliging husband's "its nice hun."  Anyway, I do promise that Saturday coloring book pages will return very soon.  It's just a bit hectic around here right now.  Hope you have a wonderful Saturday!

DIY Saturday!! Fabulous Fabric Flower Necklace

Hello Hello, good Saturday to you all.  I am in an especially good mood today because for the first time the Florida humidity and heat that normally greets me first thing in the morning has been replaced by the most glorious 70 deg breezy sunshine.  It is amazing to me how much weather can affect our moods and energy levels.  We instantly opened every window in the house, shut off the A/C, and had a sweet little family breakfast on the porch.  Now with the little guy playing happily with his sand toys and daddy mowing the lawn, I get to spend my entire Saturday CREATING! YES!!  I absolutely adore Saturday projects.  I am kind of locked down with craft show preparations; however, I have a guest post DIY up on Mano Metal's blog that I'd love for you to try.

This was a seriously easy and super cute project.  I am planning on making these for several friends for Christmas.   Also, my first Gigundo Sponsor Group Giveaway has ended! Thank you all so much for participating.  I will announce the winner tomorrow.  Have a wonderful Saturday everyone! Leave me a note and let me know what fun things you are getting your hands into today.
