Crafty Lately ...

Can I tell you how hard it was to shoot these adorable poms without the glare?! Obviously I'm not a photographer. But I am a crafter! Sort of. If you know me, then you know that I'm usually a self proclaimed DIFM (do if for me) type. First it was these pantone chips that inspired me to make some similarly colored poms for Easter. And then I ran into an ages old knitting project (if you follow me on Instagram, then you know what I'm talking about) that I suddenly wanted to pick up and continue. And here's the doozy you guys ... I took my first sewing class a couple of days ago and loved it! 

So I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the springtime air. Maybe I've found myself with more time on my hands? I don't know. All I know is that I'm going to embrace it. A new leaf has been turned party people. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful and beautiful Easter weekend with family and friends! Group hug:)

Cyanotype Scarf ...

Will you look at what the cool kids over at Yellow Owl Workshop have done? They used sun printing to make this awesome cyanotype scarf! I'm so not a DIY'er, more like a DIFM'er (do it for me) but if I were to attempt a DIY project I think this would be it. There's more from where this came from in Christine's (of Yellow Owl Workshop) new book, Print Workshop. And you can find this cyanotype tutorial over at Martha's craft blog.

DIY Pom Pom Cuteness ...

Work in progress. (Love her bangs)

The wonderful end result.

(Is that a pom pom ring on her finger? I like!)

Remember the Nomad hats from DVF last winter? Well, Jazzi was clever and brave enough to make her own. I think it came out really well and it only took her about an hour or so to make. The best part? It only cost an impressive $8! Now if I only had a place to wear it. Too over the top for Target?

P.S. I know it's gonna start getting warm soon to even think about wearing one of these but just think, if you started making some now throughout summer you'll have some great gifts come Christmas. And how cute would small one's look on babies?!
