Woven gift-wrap // pastel edition ^_^ By Kate on August 8, 2012 I noticed that the woven gift-topper I made last year was doing the rounds again on Pinterest so I thought I would make an updated pastel version (pastels seem to be the new neon at the moment).
I bought some quilling strips (0.5cm) to use this time which reduces the labour by about half (I’ve also been working on some more intricate woven ‘things’ for another project…more to come soon). Anyway check out the previous post if you want full instructions.

Keep in mind that handmade items are not just beautiful but special… Asymmetrical necklace} I was at a store the other day that just happened to have a huge clearance on beads.
We're talking 80% off kind of clearance. I checked with an employee to see if I was reading the sign right and then I pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Once I confirmed that this was indeed real life I grabbed a basket and started sorting through the selection. I got some great deals and picked up an assortment of beads that I normally wouldn't have picked up at full price. Once we came home and I tucked my daughter in bed for the night I started thinking about what I could make with my new collection of pretty beads. What you'll need - nose ring plyers - wire cutter - beads/buttons - eye pins - chain - jump rings (4mm and 7mm) - lobster clasp Take a bead and slide it on to the eye pin.

This past weekend was so crazy! We lost our power Thursday night – I’m so glad I schedule my draft post – The bad part I spend days without power in our house, when you work in your computer that’s kind of a vital ingredient hehe. This past storm was pretty big and brought a lot of snow and that caused a lot of trees fall down =[ It was my first time in a storm like this and it was pretty surprising to see a lot of street closed, cars stuck and not being able to cook or have heater (the bad part about having electric stove!) So now that you are all updated in my weekend, I want to share some of my favorite Craft room/Office images, all of them collected via Pinterest!
