Latest Craftiness

I've been inspired by my friend Karla of Soap Addict to expand my crafting. She started making soap full time. Soon, Karla and I are going to do a craft show together and I need to get stuff ready. I've beaded for years and made stuff for myself, gifts and sold a few things.

I expanded into hair bows and have made a few for the girls (which they won't keep in their hair) and some for friends. Now, I've decided to move into making rosettes out of fabric. I made a necklace last night and tonight I made some clips for friends' kids. I'm going to try my hand at headbands soon. I just started so everything is practice at the moment.

Below are some pictures of my first attempts.

    Cute rosettes! I found thin metal headbands at the Dollar Tree. Rosette headbands would be cute!
