College

So originally this was just going to be a blog about all my crafty stuff but tonight I just feel like writing. I have some mixed up emotions right now. Life can be so crazy, especially when at college. Most of the time I am just having a blast (minus all of the studying) but it's those moments when you're all alone that you feel so alone (ironically). Sometimes you just feel like there's no one there for you. It makes me think about how amazing my family is. They are just incredibly supportive and I am so thankful for them in my life. They are the ones that are my best friends in my life, the ones that are always interested in what I'm doing no matter where I am at. They love me unconditionally and that is an amazing thing. I know that whenever I feel utterly alone I can always think about those people back home that are the ones that truly matter the very most. I love you guys!

Miss you guys so MUCH!

Love, Abby

Fancy Fabric Flowers Continued

 Then take the fabric off of the cardstock by pressing on the fabric with your hand and forearm to ease it off. After that get a pencil and roll the fabric up moderately tightly

 After it is rolled up slip the pencil out and use tweezers to tighten the center. Just grab the end of the fabric that's in the middle and twist.

 Then hot glue the rose onto a piece of felt and cut it out.

 To add the second strip to make the flower larger just hot glue and wrap around the already glued flower as you go (I've found that you get a bigger flower if you do this rather than starting out with an extra long fabric strip).

 And there you go!!!

I embellished my new scripture case with this flower by adding a pin on the back. I also put some coral tulle around the flower and hot glued it.

Fancy Fabric Roses

After Cutting out two 1-inch thick strips that are about 22-inches long, iron them in half.

Then then pin one of the strips to a strip of cardstock paper.

Then wrap the strip diagonally on the cardboard strip










Iron the fabric that is on the strip as shown below and repeat the process with the second fabric strip.

Just Starting!

So here we go! I'm so excited for this blog! The main thing that I want to do is share the little creative things I make. Right now I am really into making AdOrAbLe headbands and am excited to post those!
