my creations

So I have always wanted to find a hobby I can be passionate about (other than shopping :)) but I never had the time or felt confident enough to try something new. A few months ago I was hitting a rough patch between morning sickness and having mixed feelings about being a stay-at-home mom. My always encouraging husband told me I should learn something new and see if it turns into a good hobby. I decided I wanted to learn how to sew and create things. After several hours of researching ideas and several trips to Joann's and Michaels I finally came up with some fun ideas. Pinterest also helped me a bit :)
So far, I have made a couple burp cloths for our daughter that is scheduled to arrive in April. I also am considering making her crib bedding if its not too complicated. I also started making fabric flower necklaces which I found tutorials for on Pinterest. I gave my sister and one of my best friends one each for christmas and they were a hit! I have had a few requests for necklaces in a variety of colors already! Below are some pictures of the first few necklaces and other fabric flower creations I have made. I will be selling the necklaces at $18 a piece, just let me know what color and which flower design you want. I have a few other designs I plan to work on and I will post those pictures when I am done.
