Leather Cuffs

Ok, this one is a Pinterest Fail..........so far.  But I may give it a try again later on down the road.  Cause I love the look.

I bought belts from thrift stores and then got the necessary tools to make the cuffs.  First I cut the belts to the length I wanted the cuffs to be. 

But I couldn't get the holes to punch through the belts.  Maybe they were too thick.  Maybe I need a different tool. 

Spring Wreaths

So, I ran across this wreath on Pinterest and thought I might could pull it off.  Some of ladies from ACC got together last Saturday at Kathey's and gave it a shot.  I think they turned out great!  A super easy project. And really not very time-consuming.

Pat Harkey, Glenda Conner, me, Julie Bloxom, and Kathey Graves

so focused

Pat  went a different direction with hers....really pretty

Julie supervised

these girls don't have the hang of "making a face". Yet.

I'll have to give them a lesson

my finished product before leaves

after leaves -- glad the girls talked me into adding them

Kathey added a lily and a bow

Pat made a big ole pretty bow for hers

looks great!

Glenda got a bigger wire wreath - I may try that next time

Really a fun DIY and a fun get-together!  Below are the directions from Pinterest.

3-19-19:  And today in a Michael's in Wichita I saw a wreath (below) they had for sale for $70 with the same size wreath and hydrangeas.  With the coupons and sale prices I caught, I spent less that half that on mine.  I love a bargain! Plus it was more fun making it than purchasing it already made!

Trendy Newborn Baby Hat

I had enough yarn to make an infant hat to go with a cocoon for one of my peep's new grandbaby.
