Winner of Snazzie Drawers Giveaway

The winner of the Snazzie Drawers giveaway is Linda at Craftaholics Anonymous!

Thanks to everyone who entered!  I totally can't get enough of this shop...The pictures are just gorgeous! 

Okay, I'm done for now.  I'm headed to Ohio this weekend to see some of my favorite family members ;)  My nephew Mason is having his first birthday party!  I can't believe he's one already!  It goes by WAY too fast, especially when you don't live close enough! 

I've got a few things scheduled to dazzle you this weekend.  Hope you enjoy them and I'll "see" you next week ;)  Have a lovely weekend!

Thanks again to Joy for offering some of her beautiful patterns to our readers.  I can't wait to see which ones Linda picks!

Fashion Accessories from a "Comfortable" Mom

My mom used to rock the shoe clips back in the day.  I wasn't old enough then to really think about them.  But, when my wonderful friend Ann suggested we make some shoe clips for her, I was intrigued.  I love the idea of taking one pair of shoes and fancying (I'm sure that's a word) them up a bit...coordinating them with different outfits, etc. 

I'm kind of fashion defunct since my son was born (I know he's too old for me to blame him, sorry HB!).  I also was never so into fashion that my handbag changed for different outfits or that I always ever looked like I stepped from the pages of a magazine (at least not one you'd look to for fashion advice).  However, I have always liked to have something a little fun.  I like fun shoes, sometimes heels, sometimes jewelry, etc. 

My husband will tell you that I dress up too much.  If you knew me, you'd laugh because that's not really true.  I like to wear jeans and a t-shirt most of the time.  I like the comfortable fashion.  Anyway, I think that's the something that makes me LOVE these shoe clips.  They're something that, if unpurchased from our shop, I will smile inwardly because that means I can wear them ;)

Please ignore my hideous feet and my too-long-toes. Someone please tell me if pedicures are tax-deductible as a business expense so I can rectify the situation that is my feet. 

So, ladies, what do you think...did you wear shoe clips in a past life and love them?  Want to get a pedi with me and dress it up with a pretty in pink shoe clip?  I'm totally ready to go when you are ;)

I linked up to Frugal Friday, because clips that make one pair of shoes like several pair are frugal.  I bet even Dave Ramsey would think so ;)

Fabric Yo Yo's Part 2

I wanted to have a few more yo-yo projects completed but I'm already onto something new. I may come back to this because I had a couple of home decor ideas. ...pillows, lampshade, rug border..the possibilities are endless.




Since I am ready for spring, I embellished a few brightly colored accessories with yo-yo's. Flip Flops, a glass beaded necklace, and a fabric wrapped bangle get some pizazz with small fabric yo- yo accents. These accessories will now stand out in a crowd.



I attached these to metal clips so I can take them off for a different look.

OK Spring, I'm ready for you any time now!
