Wedding Day Frames

I recently got a new Cricut (yeah!!!) and have been making tons of projects with it. My sister is getting married this weekend so I wanted to make some fun wedding day gifts for her so I did some frames.

The "Here Comes the Bride" one is to go on her front door since we will be getting ready at her house and the "Mr & Mrs" frame is for their hotel room door. I'll be putting these in a basket along with some other gifts to give to her the morning of her wedding.

Flowers for Spring

To expand the hair accessories I've been making I've started to learn to make fabric flowers. There are so many great fabric choices out there the possibilities are endless for color combinations and looks. There are so many tutorials online for a lot of different styles. So far I've learned how to do the five petal style using the tutorials on the fabricflower blog

Next I would like to learn to do the chiffon fabric flowers, they are so beautiful and feminine. This one if from Etsy seller Nomsa, her color combination is beautiful.

I've bought the supplies and plan on following this tutorial from ReFabulous . Hopefully I'll have some photos of my own to post soon.

Hat Projects

Here are some hats I've been creating, they aren't all listed on Esty right now but any style an be custom ordered to be the exact size and color needed.

The holidays few by

I can't believe its now February! The holiday season seems like it was a blur to me, and I was so busy I didn't get to make my yarn wreath. I did get all the supplies so I'll just have to do it for next year.

I did have a great winter craft show season! I am so glad how my first year turned out. I learned a lot from it and can't wait to use this year to really step up my business. I have my first show of this year on 2/13 and am really excited. I have a lot of new things coming for this year.

Here is a preview photo of a new style of barrette I've been working on to add to the PetitSweets line

I can't believe its holiday time already

It seems like the other day fall was just arriving and now its almost Christmas! I've been super busy this fall with craft fairs and lots of custom hat orders. Over the past few fairs I feel like I've really gotten my display better. I have an event this weekend and hope to take some photos.

Craft Show Set-up

For anyone that needs some inspiration on setting up for a show this is a great blog, Craft+Show Designs . There are so many wonderful booth set-ups in there (plus its fun to see every ones products).

Time to start to think Christmas

It's only the day after Halloween but I should already be thinking about Christmas (well I should have been for about a month). There are so many great holiday projects to make that the month of November really should be devoted to holiday project. This year one of the projects I'm really excited to make is the yarn wreath that Starbucks was showing in their shops last year. This wreath seemed to be very popular this year because there are so many blog posts about making your own, just google "Starbucks Yarn Wreath". She Knits Shizknits has a great tutorial on how she made hers and so does Inspired Kara .

Ryan and I really wanted to make this project last year but were turned off by the high price of the styrofoam balls, and you need a good amount to make this. But this year I was inspired by Dollar Store Crafts to search there for my supplies. Rather than get the styrofoam balls I picked up a few boxes of plastic Christmas balls to wrap (who can beat 12 for only $1). I also found some silver bells to mix in with it. I have some yarn here at the house so I should be all set to try this project this week.
