Make Your Own Bow!





  Bows are a great accessory for any outfit!  Making a bow tie for yourself is much better than buying a new one!  There are some fun and easy steps you can follow to make your own amazing bow!  Special thanks to the Fashion Diva Design Blog for these great ideas! 
 
1.       Find some fabric- The thicker the better! You don’t necessary have to go out and buy material. You can use denim jeans or an old dress!
2.       Cut the fabric into the shape of a rectangle. Normally 6 inches is good. The fabric will be folded over and bunched in the center.
3.       Create the Bow. Fold the fabric halfway.  Sew the three side remaining sides (if you want). Leave a little hole so you can turn the piece inside out—so you will not be able to see the stitches
4.       Make your bow. Find the center of the rectangle and push the top and the bottom of the fabric into a bow-like shape. Sew it down the middle to hold it in place. If you’d like to hide the stitching, sew a small band around the middle.
5.       Extras— You can use a rubber elastic at the back of the bow to secure it. Also a ribbon or button. Let your imagination run wild!

My Unhealthy Yarn Obsession

 Some people collect shoes...I can't help myself when it comes to cotton, wool and alpaca!
 Those who know me-- know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE YARN.  I started crocheting at the age of 7--and since then I've been crazy over yarn.
 I live in a SMALL Miami loft--with very little room for storage--so I've resulted to putting my yarn in the kitchen cabinets!! I'm a little crazy.

But, I do have some good news out there for other crazy "Hookers" like me-- there's a great yarn sale at Micheal's Craft Store THIS WEEK!

A ball of cotton yarn--normally $2.27 is only $1 this week--so stock up!
 
What's your obsession?

Night Owl Market Looking for Vendors


Looking for a place to sell your crafty goodies!  The Night Owl Market is searching for interesting vendors to displace crafts, art and other retro items at their next event January 26, 2013,

The best part of the event is that all the proceeds from the vendor fee and customer donations will go directly to Flager Garden. The Flagler Village Community Garden is set to open in the Spring of 2013!  The goal of the park is to promote urban gardening for recreation, education, food production and beautification. It’s also a place that will foster public awareness for the uses and values of gardening and other green spaces within the community.

Also—should we add that there will be free alcohol at that event! Need we say more!
 Apply as soon as you can! We're booking as quick as possible!
