Crafts, Please!



So I have gotten a bit crafty lately. And I started an Etsy store! It all started last Christmas when I really wanted to make something special and homemade for my small group girls. I had bought a cute feather headband at a store and realized I could totally make them! I started experimenting and after a trip to Hobby Lobby, I found a fun cathartic activity! Since then, on and off, I have made some fun creations!

Here are a few pictures of what I have... all of them are on sale here

One Year Later

Hello 2011! Wow, it has been almost exactly one year since I posted on my blog last!

A lot has happened.... and a lot hasn't happened. I enrolled in, suffered through, and finished my TESOL certification to teach English overseas! I have a new (almost one year old!) nephew! Isn't he the cutest??


I had a boyfriend, didn't work out, now I'm single! (yay? no.) I am involved in the church I have gone to my whole life through being a small group leader to some AWESOME girls. I am an ESL tutor at a local English Language School where I've been investing and making friendships with many Saudi Arabian women. (yay!)

And I have also found a heart and knack for creating! I have started my very own etsy shop to sell my handmade feather headbands, custom coasters, fabric hair clips, and fabric covered journals! Visit my shop here.

Here's a little taste of whats up there! :)

Here's a Magenta Hair Clip modeled so beautifully by my sista.
