My photography schedule has been so slammed lately I haven’t been able to post many fun projects…so I combined some I previously saw online. They are in my “to make” file….which probably won’t happen until Nov. when things slow down. I am thinking of trying to do a post like this every so often, but I don’t want to unless there is an interest. So…if you would enjoy something like this more often, leave me a comment (even you lurkers that never comment). Thanks!
How About Orange’s Fabric Decals for walls, doors, you name it
BluePrint’s super cute Bangle Bag made from scarves and bangles…so easy
Design Sponge’s Birdie Serving tray and Wood Clock – I bought a wood burning tool for these
My Lifetime’s Retro Bottle Cap Clock – this one is seriously cute
Inspired Idea’s Making Memory Candles – great for old pictures
If only there were more hours in the day to make all these. I am thinking of doing some for Christmas gifts, but my taste is sometimes too ‘out there’ for some…we’ll see. I always second guess making stuff for friends – ya know don’t want to be that awkward friend that gives something that others feel obligated to keep or put out when I stop by!

i know exactly what you mean about giving hand made gifts.
it has to be for just the right person you know? you really put yourself out there if you give something hand made.
these are all very fun projects!
