31 Days to Branch Out: Day 27

Now, I never want to be one to rip off someones hard work and creativity but I'm also an artist who loves a good challenge! I found these and I just HAVE to try it! Especially when the totally awesome dollar flippy floppies come around at Old Navy!! Plus I have three pairs of Yellow Box that no longer fit me around the foot because of my pregnancy and my permanently swollen foot.

31 Days to Branch Out: Day 15

So, I'm super tired today so I'm sorry but this is going to be a short post! Luckily it's still SUPER cute!!

The Train to Crazy

It's not an actual tutorial but it's got a really great explanation on how to make it. 

Plus, my daughters name is Madeleine and I love her so there ya go!

31 Days to Branch Out: Day 11

OMG!!!! I SAW THIS TODAY and I wanted to die!!

It's a ring holder! Plus, the best part is it's easily DIY!! The tutorial for something similar was found on The Toasted Coconut. I think this will be great if you have a pair of shoes where one gets injured (broken heel...it does happen) but the other is in good shape or some super cute shoes you find on sale that just aren't in your size! Keep them around to love while making good use out of them!

I love that she used  fabric and pillow stuffing but I rather like the foam and how professional it looked. She spent 4.00 on the shoes at a garage sale and the ones in the picture are from Ruche and cost 18.99! So, cheap if you don't want to DIY but even cheaper to DIY!

31 Days to Branch Out: Day 7

Today is the last day of paper crafts! But tomorrow starts fabric crafting! (One of my new favorite past times!)
So I thought I would post a wonderful tutorial from Bloesem Kids that I'm totally going to do for my M&M's room...as soon as I can get outside and gather some sticks. I really should get on that.

I'll be having one of these for me please!!! I can't wait for Madeleine to be old enough to wear something like this. I hope Nautical stays in style for...8 years...

Pleated Mary Jane Booties

I finally finished my M&M's booties for her halloween costume. Now, part 2 of 3 done! I have only her little onesie and I'll be finished!! :) I used this really great (surprisingly easy) tutorial of these adorable Pleated Mary Jane booties. Perhaps once I feel a little more handy at the sewing machine, I'll try the Abby top. But thanks to Shwin & Shwin for making such a great tutorial!! Here are my finished shoes for M&M!

Check out Shwin and Shwin!! Be Inspired!!!
