Crafty Goodness

So I have been thinking about trying to dye my own yarn...   Have you tried to do this?  I really don't even know where to begin but I have seen some beautiful yarn that was hand dyed.  Maybe I need something like this?  Any tips or suggestions?

Last night I spent my night making these little embellished bobby pins :)  I like them!

week+end= fun

Relaxing weekend?...not quite!  2 different craft shows in 3 days!...well technically one.   One was a vender show and we were the only true crafters there!  It was an...interesting night!  The other one was fun but hot!... Today while I was bored out of my mind I came across this great blog that everyday posts links to blogs that have giveaways.   You need to check it out here :)  I entered a ton of giveaways....I'll let you know if I win any!

here is a pic of our booth at one of our shows :)  we set it up a bit differently than we normally do!  

Fun weekend :)

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary this weekend by going to Orlando.   We both have been reading the Harry Potter books the last couple of months so we decided to get passes for Universal.  We had lots of fun!   Here are some pictures :)

2 years :D

On Monday it will be two year's since we got married!   Sometimes it feels like it's been forever...somtimes it feels like yesterday.   I've loved every minute of it :)

weekend!

So Wayne and I went to the Pics on Promenade last night...the weather was perfect!   At Lake Mirror they have a big screen that they set up and they show a movie for free.  There are people who sell food and drinks.   Last night was the movie Hook...which I hadn't seen for a looong time!  Next month they are showing White Christmas...I really want to go and see that one!  Here are a couple pics from last night :)  Hope you have a good weekend!

oh and here is a book that I found when we were thrifting this week...my plan is to make it into a bag like this

Thrifting...

So I went thrifting with my sister this week and I found a steal!   This clutch, which was supposed to be $1.50, was only $.50!   It has a place where it looks like it once had a strap but I am just using it as a clutch.... why don't I go to thrift stores more often???
