|smile|more|: Recent Craftiness

Thought I would bring you all up to date on some of the recent fun I've been having :)

I bought a carafe at Target the other day.

Isn't it cute? I feel like a real grown-up, now :)

I've also been slowly building up my embroidery hoop collection in preparation for something Jess and I are planning for next month :)

Aren't they pretty? I almost don't want to use them so they can stay hanging like that.
I've finished a few new embrioderies, too! (pictures coming soon)
Also for what Jess and I are planning ;)

Speaking of embroidery--here is that case make-over I mentioned in an earlier post :D

Isn't it cute? I'm really happy with the way it came out! The red case works well to hold my portable hard drive and iPod, but it was just too plain for my tastes :)

Here is another update on a project mentioned in an earlier post.

Remember the clock I got in Kansas City while visiting Jess?

Well, I finally got around to fixing it up! The clock mechanism was MUCH easier to fix than I thought. Turns out, once I got access to the hands by taking the back off of the clock, I just had to pop it back in place and it worked!

All it needed was a coat of paint :)

The outside is a bright teal color and the inside between the frame and the clock face is a dark purple. I broke the glass while trying to tape it off for painting, but I'm not too upset about it. Just adds charm :)

Last, but certainly not least, is this little t-shirt make-over. When this shirt came out of the drier, it had a bleach stain on the front. I didn't want to get rid of it, because it's so comfy and fits so well, so I put a little applique on it, instead!
