DIY Bauble Necklace

Create your own Bauble Necklace!  I came across this necklace tutorial and loved it.  Supplies include wooden balls, paint color of your liking, and string to put it together. So easy!

I invited my girlfriends over and we made necklaces in an evening.  This is a great craft night project because it's easy and quick.   One brilliant idea my friend came up with was to paint the balls by sticking them on Qtips.  This will prevent paint from getting on your fingers.  So smart! :) 

"Owl" Sit on You! DIY Floor Pouf

Happy New Year!  
I'm dedicating 2013 as the year for sewing!  I learned basic sewing as a kid (my mom still has a horribly awesome pot holder I made her in grade school) and I also took a class in high school but haven't really sewn since.  I've pretty much forgotten all that I learned except very basic things. I can sew pillow cases envelope style - without zippers or button holes, and basic market totes.  By the end of the year, I'd like to make something with zippers and/or button holes.  Doesn't seem like too hard of a goal...I mean I have one year to figure it out. :)  

In the meantime, I came across this floor pouf tutorial on Pinterest that requires basic sewing skills...right up my alley.  This was my first time using piping so I was pretty excited and I loved how this turned out.

I purchased the owl print at Hobby Lobby and used Hot Pink Maxi Piping Bias Tape.  Total cost of the project was around $15. Not bad.
