If your month of May is anything like mine, it is BUSY! I’ve been MIA from the blogosphere lately (sorry)…I just haven’t had the time to do anything crafty lately. Well, not exactly nothing, just not anything big or truly blog-worthy.
Here’s a few things I did do:

I made those awesome Cheesecake-stuffed Strawberries from
The Sweets Life that were all over
Pinterest.

I made a batch for Teacher Appreciation Week with a “berry special” tag. They were a hit! BTW, my son also thinks these are awesome!!
I made some more
washer jewelry too!
One for the neighbor girl who helped us with some yard work:

And, I was able to get a smaller font (lowercase) set from Hobby Lobby…I’m super excited that they are now carrying this stuff!! So, I used it to make a Mothers’ Day necklace for my aunt. Each washer is imprinted with the initial of one of her children:


Then, I made a piece for each of her daughters….an initial necklace (not pictured) for one and a ribbon/washer bracelet for the other. I made the bracelet using some pretty ribbon I found in the $1 bin at Michael’s.


To wear it, you simply tie it in a bow.


Then, I made one for myself using the same technique. It started as a necklace, but I ended-up changing it to a bracelet after making the above one for my cousin.
These are photos of the necklace:

I used this cool jute ribbon. Isn’t that fun? And, it looks so good with the copper.



Now that school’s out, I’m hoping that life slows down a bit and I’ll get my craft on again!
See ya soon!
