Found it.

After a year of not knowing what to do for my headboard, I've found it!

I've always loved the look of these pieces, I just needed a good tutorial and a little push.. Where's my phone? I need to call my dad and tell him I have a new project for him to do.

Bouteniere, Boutonniere, Buttonear?

I'm pretty sure that's the hardest word to spell without using spell check.

I made the boutonnieres for our wedding:

So my friend Natalie asked me to make some for her wedding. I'm doing them almost the same way but I'm throwing a little fake flower in there, using a button, and sewing a big leaf instead of having two bendy leaves:

They're really fun for me to make.. I'm trying to figure out if I think there would be a market for them on Etsy?

We're leaving for a camping trip with the Porchs tomorrow, coming home Wednesday, leaving Friday for the lake with my family for the entire next week, then coming home just in time to deliver these bouts and get to the wedding!

....Just writing all that kind of stresses me out.

Necklace DIY.

Eee this was SO fun to make!

I followed the tutorial from Melissa's blog and it only took about an hour.. I'm planning on making it for my friend's birthday presents (uhh.. so cover your eyes) and I think it'll only take 30 minutes when I get the hang of it.

It's awesome because it's cheap (I paid $1 for the tshirt from Goodwill!) and there are a lot of ways to customize it.. color, thickness, how many braids, etc.

I hope you all make one and have as much fun as I did!

Here's the tutorial.
