Big Cartel Account Activated!

Well...I did it.  I created and activated a Big Cartel account.  And it is free!  Woo hoo!  I only have two products listed, my interchangeable necklace, and a set of tie onesies.  Be sure to check it out, and if you haven't heard of Big Cartel take a spin around their site, it is full of fantastic stuff.

Now I can't leave this post without noting that my bestie, Cara Crowley, and hubby, Jelly Man Kelly, are the ones who have encouraged me to take this step, and I want to say THANK YOU!

Love ya,

Bib Necklace

T-shirt bib necklace!  I love these.  They're so much fun, and I can't stop making them.  I have multiple versions now.  This is the latest and greatest made from a mustard yellow polo, a royal purple t-shirt, and a few scraps from a pair of jeans.  I added on a few buttons, and voila, a fabu bib necklace! :)

Changeable Necklaces

This tutorial gave me inspiration for making braided upcycled t-shirt necklaces.  You basically braid, and braid, and braid some more until you have a long rope.  You loosely wrap it around your neck until you get the length and layers you want, secure it, add a scrap of the same shirt to cover your stitches, and voila, you have a fabulous necklace!

So far I've made a grey one, a white one and a brown one.  Basic, easy colors.  Now comes the fun part, making pins/broaches to pin on to the necklace.  Here are some shots of some fabric or ribbon flowers I've made.  Enjoy!
