Tie Dye Skirt





















This is a simple a-line skirt that I made from tie dyed fabric. It is ankle length and has an elastic waistband.

Patchwork Circle Skirt




















This is the patchwork circle skirt that I made. It consists of around 300 or so 6"x6" squares. It took me almost 2 months to sew and cut the fabric patches. It's about shin length.

Handmade Cards

Here are some cards that I made using random scraps of paper and embellishments.














































Happy Days Card



















This is a card that I made for the weekly challenge for The Crafty Cat. (thecraftycat.blogspot.com) I used random scraps from a glitter paper pack for the layout. I also used strips of leather and buttons to accent the card.

St. Patrick's Day Card














This is a card that I made for a weekly contest for The Crafty Cat. (thecraftycat.blogspot.com) I used light green cardstock for the background, green striped paper for the edges and white ribbon. I also punched holes to create a swirl design in the middle and then set eyelets in random places. I used glossy accents to make the word "Lucky" stand out at the bottom of the card.

Patchwork Messenger Bag



























This is a patchwork messenger bag that I made. It is the first bag that I've ever made. The outside of the bag is made out of corduroy patches and the inside is made out of heavy khaki material and camo material. On the front of the bag I added velcro to help hold the bag closed. I also made a long shoulder strap to carry it by.
