Hi there! Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Did you watch the game? I kind of listened to it while I was crafting. 🙂 The monkey has been sick all weekend and needed an extra dose of mommy time, so crafting went out the window until his bedtime. 🙂
I cannot tell you how much I have loved all of the comments from the How to Add a Hyperlink in a Comment post!!! I am visiting everyone’s blog, and am meeting so many new friends. If I haven’t made it to yours yet, don’t worry…I’ll be there soon! I just haven’t had a whole lot of computer time since Kason’s been under the weather.
One friend I met is Allison from Thrifty Crafting!
As I was poking around her blog, I found so many cute things. Allison seriously is the queen of thrifty crafting! Take a peek at some of her awesome projects…
How cute is this Upcycled Dinosaur T-shirt? Allison made it from a too small long sleeve shirt and a white shirt that had a stain on it…mix the two together and you end up with this custom T for your cutie.
Hello, Gorgeous! I LOVE this Poppy Bib Necklace! …and I would love to have one too! Allison gives a great tutorial on how to make these poppy-like buds.
I’m all about the industrial, hammered nail look of this $1.00 Store Thumbtack Wreath! How very clever and you could easily change out the ribbon with the seasons or add a few pretty rosettes for the spring.
These Flower Brooch Fingerless Gloves are so feminine and pretty! I love how Allison attached brooches to these gloves so they could easily be removed and popped onto a jacket or bag.
As I continued roaming her blog, I found out that she wasn’t loving her current blog design, so I swooped in to save the day! 🙂
I sure hope you’ll stop by Thrifty Crafting to take a look at her new digs and tell her hello! She would love that…and so would I!
Have a great week! See you tomorrow for SUTCH an Inspiration!
