WHoooooooooooo Smells.....

My Owl does. She stinks as a matter of fact.

When I say Stink, I truly mean wonderful. Meet the Owl sachet. She is stuffed with yummy vanilla smells!

Even my puppy Grace thinks she smells sweet.

That is, until she felt her snoozing spot had been invaded by the owl.

So she nudged her off the couch. She's a sweet heart.

This was a fun little inventive idea. I have a lavender sachet in my pantie drawer. I saw it this morning and thought how darn funny it would be to have an owl hanging out in there.

She was easy to whip up and took me about 30 minutes!

You too can have a little owl hang out in your pantie drawer, or you know anywhere you would like to have a sweet smelling owl hang out. :)

Whooooo Says You Can't Have Cute Grocery Totes?

This was a feat for me! I'm actually really proud of this bag. It has been the best piece of sewn something I've made. Yay for overcoming a hurtle! I saw this fabric in our local fabric store and fell in love with it! Whoooo cares if its kind of boy-ish; Dana over at MADE is celebrating the boy month! Whooot for boys! I will be creating multiples of this bag!

You can find how to create this bag in the Tutorial section, or if you click on the picture below it will take you there too!

Until Next Time,

Owl Always Love You.

I {Heart} Owls.

This week I am celebrating my love for Owls. I think they are the cutest little buggars.

I started off with designing my owl little owl friend! I can stick him on anything! I can make some cute stationary, Gift Tags, Cards, Address Labels, Sticky Notes the list can go on and on.

I am a card giver. I think sending someone a card is much more personal than sending an e-mail. Don't get me wrong, I love technology, I just think there are somethings it can't replace. Needless to say, I send out a lot of cards! Thank You's, Congrats, Happy Birthdays, Thinking Of You's, Get Wells, Happy Anythings ect. Meaning, I go through a lot of address labels. I have a lot of family to send things too and can't stand writing my name and address out all the time; plus I'm kind of particular on how I address my envelopes. 

I used this little Owl friend to create my very own owl address labels!

See...

I also made some simple, but cute owl stationary! 

                                                                    

         

I used some of my hand made paper and some cute stamps I purchased from Stampin' Up. You can find my paper tutorial HERE and the cute stamps from Stampin' Up HERE

I have made that cute little Owl available for download, Check out the Tutorial section for the download, or click the Owl photo!

Until Next Time,

Peace & Love

crafty crafters

I have been so inspired by all the wonderful crafters out there. My thanks to google images. :) I was inspired to create my own head band and I did it! Yay! I made up the pattern and everything! Today has been eventful, I made 2 dish cloths, 2 scrubbies, a cool scarf, head band and flower. Now that I have the pattern down, I can make them in mass! Here is the pattern for all you crafty crafters out there!!
I used a size G hook.

Chain 8, Ch 1 and turn.
Row 1: HDC in each ch 1 space. ch 1 turn
Row 2-10: Repeat Row 1
*Row 11: 2 HDC in first HDC. HDC in each ch 1 space until end. 2 HDC in last HDC. Ch 1 Turn (12 HDC)
Row 12: HDC in each ch 1 space. Ch 1 Turn.
Repeat from * 2 more times
*Row 16: HDC in each ch 1 space. Ch 1 turn.
Repeat from * 15 more times
*Row 31: DC2tog. HDC in each ch 1 space until 2 ch left. DC2tog.
Row 32 HDC in each ch 1 space.
Repeat from * 2 more time.
*Row 37 HDC in each ch space. ch 1 turn
Row 38-43: Repeat from *
Row 44: 2 SC in first HDC. SC in each HDC until last HDC. 2 SC in last HDC
Finish: From row 44 SC along edge and join with SL ST. Fasten off. Join edges by sewing yarn between the two and weave ends into work.




















Then the flower pattern I used a size G hook as well.
(Leave about 1/2 -1 inch tail)Ch 47 (this is going to determine how big your flower is. So the longer the chain the bigger the flower.)
Row 1: skip 1 ch, SC in each ch space until end. Ch 1 turn.
*Row 2: skip 1 ch, *DC, ch 1 repeat from ** 3 more times. Skip ch 1 space SL ST and repeat from * until end.
Finish: Roll the scalloped end and manipulate it to look like a flower. Sew in tail to keep the look.


















TADA!
I had to share, and now I'm going to go have a craft night with my Momma!

















Until Next Time,
Peace & Love
