Tomorrow Is A New Day--The Honey Bee Paperie

Recently, mom and I were watching the Anne of Green Gable movie with Megan Follows--It never seems to get old.

While watching it, I realized there are so many wonderful quotes to be remembered. 

 One particularly stuck with me and I had to share it. 

 I went perusing through Pinterest to find the exact quote and ran across a beautiful watercolor with the just quote I was looking for. 

To purchase this print--check out this lovely Etsy shop--TheHoneyBeePaperie
And while you're there check out her other beautiful watercolors.

  

--Tomorrow is a new day--with no mistakes in it yet-- 

  

 What a wonderful thing to remember. Tomorrow is always fresh. Always new. Always another chance to start again. A chance to try again.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Repeat

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I'm doing a repeat post here. 

Sort of. 

Remember the camera scarves? 

I'm happy to say that I sold out of my listings on Etsy. 

So I wanted to share a sneak peak of the new scarves I just put up.

Hair Ties. Hair Bows.

It's been a rainy day here in Tennessee. 

Honestly, I just don't feel like being crafty on a rainy day. 

I'd rather be lazy and maybe read a good book or watch a movie.

However, I did want to feel somewhat productive today, so naturally I started browsing Pinterest.

That's the productive thing to do. Right? 

Right. 

 I did come across these cute hair ties that I've been wanting to try. 

It just so happens I had picked up more elastic ribbon the other day, so I had a nice assortment ready and waiting to try out.

If you're looking for something cute, easy, and inexpensive -- this is it!

 

 

 I love how versatile these ribbons can be. You can tie knots on the ends or bows. Or you can make super cute headbands for your little ones!

 

Here are a couple links with easy instructions.

Hair Tie Tutorial 

*HINT* Cut the ribbon with pinking shears to eliminate the frayed ends.

 I decided make some headbands for my niece, then the rest will be as thank you gifts for my Etsy customers!

Camera Strap Scarves

Want to know one of my weaknesses?

Scarves. 

I love them! 

I know this isn't exactly scarf-wearing weather right now, however, on occasion you can find lightweight scarves to wear even throughout the spring. 

Sometimes in my thrift store hunts, I am able to find all sorts of unique scarves for great prices! 

I will admit, I don't just buy them to wear anymore. I buy them to make into lovely little camera straps. 

Just type camera strap scarves (or click here) into your Pinterest search bar and see what I mean.

So this has been my latest DIY project. 

You can make these straps out of fabric scraps, but I found a scarf to be much faster. It was suggested to me to even try men's ties. Definitely going to try that one next!

P.S. If you're interested in any of these straps, you can find some of these in my Etsy shop!

 

 

 

A Little Coaster Love

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I've been working on some coasters lately and wanted to share them with you today. I found a pack at the local Goodwill and thought I'd give them a makeover.

 

These were already gold when I bought them, which I loved! So I  just added a little more pizazz with my paint pens. :)

 If you really like the coasters you can find them here also.

Here are some really neat DIY coasters I found on Pinterest.

Enjoy!

1. Natural Branch Coasters
2. Corkboard Coasters

It seems I am always having ideas about something. Lately it's been ideas about crafting and Etsy.

I enjoy crafting and sewing, but you can only give so many of your creations away before you run out of people and you're left with a whole lot of stuff. 

 --Can I just say Pinterest is no help whatsoever there. I am continuously drawn to the Craft/DIY section, wanting to try out something new.--

For the past several months I have considered the idea of starting up my own shop on Etsy. 

In the shop I want to offer things I've made myself--completely from scratch--and things I have refashioned from thrift stores and such.

The plan is by starting up an Etsy shop it will help me be able to continue my crafting, while at the same time finding another home for the new creation.

I started it up a few weeks ago, so it's still very fresh. It is also slow going at the moment trying to get things listed. However, I have managed to list half a dozen items. 

Here are a few thing you can find in the shop. To see more you can check it out here.

Thanks for stopping!
