wrightsville beach this weekend

this weekend was gorgeous, these were taken yesterday, i so love living minutes from the beach! we were at the north end and there weren't many people, the last shot has some funky clouds but we didn't get any rain until this morning around 8am and that was only a few minute downpour and nothing but sunshine since!

i made a few wallets

i haven't finished with the snaps yet, as i am planning to buy the snap tool to make things easier.

i made my niece a fabric heaband

and she loves it! I have 3 sizes that I make and i'm getting ready to make more for her older sister!

i made a christmas ornament this weekend

yes, i have started on christmas! that time of year stresses me out to the max, so i thought i'd start early like i use to. i saw this online, don't remember where, i think the picture i have had a shadow on it making the ribbon look tan. i will make more with white ribbon next go round. the letter is sequins, you can't really tell from the photo. i think it's pretty self explanatory of how to make, but if you have any questions let me know. are you getting ready early this year? if so, what have you made so far?

vintage shelf for F R E E

i got this for free because the owner said it had been exposed to mold. well i know that a little bit of bleach can remove mold in an instant so i gladly accepted it! growing up in charleston, sc has many benefits and combating mold is one of them! she also said her grandfather made this and i could never give away something my grandfather made. so here's what I've done with it. The 2nd photo are palm bark, the 3rd are all shells I found and a cool candle holder I also found for next to nothing. The 4th are finger starfish I purchased to use in wrapping at Christmas!
