Book Clutch!! | conduit press So, I’ve been talking about this ‘new work’/new line/new idea thing for quite some time. If not here, then on Facebook, or Twitter, or, you know, that thing called ‘real life’. And, for a lot of that time I was just blowing steam. Not that I wasn’t really working on this new idea, it’s just, well, mostly I was thinking about it. For a REALLY long time. I would lie awake at night, listening to the fan blow and the baby sleep next to me and think, ‘how can I line a hollow book with fabric without overlayering and keeping it neat?’ I’d already had the book(s) cut (I have three ready and willing to be turned into clutches) and the fabric purchased- all that was left was to line the books with said fabric, figure out how to make the side-panels and pocket and then, well, deal with the closure. First I glued the inside of the book together, just as I do my regular hollow books, and then lined the inside bottom of the book with a bit of felt for cushion. What do you think?

Everyday Mom Ideas: Scrap Paper Tree Centerpiece Tutorial (Featured guest blogger) Hi there! I'm Sharon from Two Girls Being Crafty, and I am so delighted to be today's guest blogger on Everyday Mom Ideas! Thank you so much, Julia, for having us. My co-blogger, Tristin, and I create fun and inexpensive crafts that anyone could do. Our goal is to inspire. Today I would like to share with you all our newest craft. This simple project uses scrapbook paper leaves to create a bright and cheery Spring ambiance for your home. First, drag out your unseemly healthy assortment of scrapbook paper scraps. Cut out a template of your leaf from the cardboard (you can also use chipboard or card-stock). Take your floral wire and cut strips anywhere from 5"-8" long. Lay down some newspaper next to your workspace. Now for the fun part! ...or make them funky. And you're done! Thanks again, Julia, for having us here today!
Will You Be My Bridesmaid? | The Wedding Chicks - StumbleUpon It is more than acceptable to take your friends to lunch and ask them to be your bridesmaids. Or you can get crazy and whip a fabulous little box full of delightfulness like Bethany. Most of her bridesmaids-to-be lived far from her. Bethany had a great “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?” The outside of the box got two to three coats of light ivory to cover up the natural wood aura, and inside was treated to one layer of ivory, too. Bethany used a few sets of playfully calligraphic adhesive letters. Then it was time to tackle the contents. Bethany wanted to lay out all the details about the wedding. In the boxes, she placed photos of an inspiration board and paint chips to show where she was going with her color scheme. To learn about Bethany’s wedding you van visit her blog Rinse.

Wedding Readings From Literature - Wedding Wednesday | The Perpetual Page-Turner Wedding Wednesday is a feature I created here to chronicle my wedding planning journey until August 17, 2012 when I get married! I’ll also be featuring fun bookish weddings and cute ideas I find around the blogosphere. Jeez, you guys. I haven’t done a Wedding Wednesday in a while! I’ve doing a lot of random parts of the wedding planning lately and one of those is picking out readings for the ceremony. “Once for all, I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always, that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. *Sonnet 17 I don’t love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz or arrow of carnations that propagate fire: I love you as certain dark things are loved, secretly, between the shadow and the soul. The moment I heard my first love story I began seeking you, not realizing the search was useless. I have for the first time found what I can truly love – I have found you. “The Velveteen Rabbit
Wedding Planner | Wedding Planning | Ultimate Wedding Planner And Organizer | Paper Flowers – Anyone Can Do That | FindInspirations.com Japanese Kusudama, this tutorial is featured on Craftuts Anyone can do that, I assure you. The proof: I can, just take a quick look at my result below. And, believe me, I am neither meticulous nor particularly patient. Below you can see my very first attempt to create paper flowers. What you will need to make your own Kusudama paper ball? 1. 3. 4. (optionally) I prefer torn paper instead of cut. You have to start with a single petal. Now you have to glue your 5 petals into a flower. Apply the glue to only one side of each petal, except for the last one, in this case cover both sides with glue. Your first flower is done. Don’t glue every petal right after you make it. When all 12 flowers are finished you have to glue them together. When two halves of Kusudama Flower Ball are ready you have to glue them together.
SOUTHERN WEDDING STYLE | lace cake + seersucker suits + the perfect... - StumbleUpon Aright here we go… I believe it was Friday, girls and boys, when we stumbled upon something I believe I will choose never to speak of again on this blog. Something so hilariously in bad taste, something so phenomenally beyond the pale of what should happen on television, let alone in reality… something so redonkulously redonk, that I – well, simply put, I have very few to no words to speak on it. … so instead, I shall quote one of my many favorite lines from it. Oh, what was it? Announcer: “Brooke is an Alabama football fan! LOL. Ok, so other than that, this weekend was pretty packed with happy thoughts and occurrences. … The above magnet is what my lovely sister brought home for me from her week in the Hamptons. Alright ANYWAAAYYYYY… that’s enough about my weekend, right? I’m MODERATELY PUMPED to share today’s feature with you guys. Here’s the killer rundown from Elyse: Being from New Orleans, you come to love the uniqueness of each and every street corner! He loves his cousins. xoxo!
