Watermark Tee by Sweet Verbana - StumbleUpon. Hello U-Create readers! I am so excited to be guest posting here today. It just so happens to be my first guest post and I'm still a little shocked that it's here at Ucreate, one of my favorite blogs! A little bit about me.. I'm from a little town called Keller, Texas. I'm a junior at Texas A&M University (whoop!). I'm working on my education degree and expect to be an elementary school teacher in just two short years. When I'm not busy studying for classes, I love to sew. I just started blogging in May and have already met all kinds of wonderful women, I hope you'll stop by and say hi too!

I've had a lot of people ask me how to make my scrabble pendants, so I thought I'd just make a little tutorial for you. It took me quite a while to figure it out myself, gathering bits and pieces of information here and there. This is my first tutorial ever, so I'll give it my best shot! Here we go! First I'll go through all the things you'll need. Scrabble pieces of course! Jewelry Bails I got mine off of Ebay, from Art Glass Decor. Diamond Glaze I also got mine from ebay. Mod Podge You'll need this to coat your little pictures that go on the scrabble piece. Gorilla Super GlueThis is what I've been using lately, but there are plenty of other adhesives that will work.
Now that you know what you'll need, on with the actual process. First you will need your image. Now you're going to give your picture a protective coating of Mod Podge. Now attach your picture to the scrabble piece. Center the picture and press down all edges. Fill in the middle with Diamond Glaze. Enjoy! ORANGE RIND VOTIVES. Embroidery. ***i have a new post here with some updates and announcements, please take time to read!
*** here are some embroidery projects that i've been working on over the past little bit. i got the idea for this first one when we saw a tree at the tulip gardens with some initials carved into it. steven told me that when we own our own house, he'll carve our initials in it. so in the meantime, we have this one to hang in our house. i tried a brand new stitch on it, and i think it turned out rather well. i'll need a bit more practice before i'd say it was perfect, but it's not bad! Also, i'm not sure if i want to get a very, very light tan color to embroider woodgrain on the rest of the circle. and i'm also not sure if i want to finish it off or leave the ends sticking out like that. i kind of like the rustic appeal it has, but i'm not sure if i'd like it better the other ways...
[[what's your opinion? I'd love to know!]] Anyway, here's my second project. [[do tell!]] <3katie. Vacation Memory Jars - Martha Stewart Crafts - StumbleUpon. 12 Fall Kids Crafts.

I enjoyed every minute of reaching into the closet and pulling out soft cozy blankets, snuggling up on the couch with my blanket and laptop to check my e-mail this morning... Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of temps below 40 degrees, but a high of 65, I'll take it! Anyway.... on with the tutorial. Here is what we are making today! What you need- Thick hair tie Six 1" strips of fabric Bulldog clip or safety pin Sewing machine (or needle and thread) Fabric tac I ripped my fabric strips so they were a bit frayed on the edges, personal choice.
Tack each end of the braid just enough that it doesn't come undone . Then tack both braids together on each end, be careful not to twist the braids. Cut your hair tie so it's one strip of elastic. Sandwich your elastic ends between the ends of your braids on each end, again, careful not to twist the braids. Sew over the elastic so that it's secure. Your done! Enjoy!
