{crafting: simpledaisy style}

yes....that's just how I feel!!!

But at least I am out of my funk.
I have been feeling really crafty and will have a ton to share with you....but for now I only got around to photographing this....
cute little scarf:)

I always feel so happy when I am creating things and that's probably why I enjoy making jewelry so much! Soon I will be putting a large order in for some more jewelry supplies...thanks to the simpledaisy readers that recently purchased jewelry!! Thank you...thank you...thank you!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it and I hope you love it!! I know one of my readers loved her earrings!! She left me a really lovely comment that just made my day:)
Anwho...
I like to sew too.
I am not a great sewer but I am at least able to make a scarf or two!
If you sew....this is a super simple craft! Time consuming but simple.....

Just cut out various sizes of about 4 different but coordinating fabrics. Sew all the pieces together...then sew them together and finish with a backing of a plain fabric! I know there are tons of directions out there....so if you are inspired I am sure you can find some OR just let me know and I can try to give you exact directions.
I am just not good at exact directions....you know that by how I write my "recipes."After you finish your cute little scarf you can get creative in how you photograph it..... OH...and did you notice the little daisy necklace in the photographs?!!? I made it...but was wondering what you think about it?!?! I am thinking about making some for my shop???
I knew I could find a million uses for this charming frame I bought last weekend!
Well....let me know if you decide to whip up a happy little scarf like this.
Hope your week has been going well and just think there's only TWO days until Friday..... :)

{Amy Butler love}

Happy (freezing cold, gray skies) Sunday to you:)
I am sitting here enjoying a simple breakfast of oatmeal with blackberries, cinnamon and hazelnuts and a nice hot cup of joe!
What are you up to this Sunday morning?!?!?

Anywho....
Spring is now less than 50 days away!!!
In anticipation of Spring, I decided to treat myself to a little pot of daffodils and they definitely make me soooo happy~
Their blossoms are just so cute and happy!

Now...on to
Amy Butler....
you must know by now how much I love her!!
Just check out her styling....
Vintage feeling...but still super simple.Plus....I know you can probably figure that I also LOVE the colors in her fabrics!! So charming...

Now I wish I were a much better sewer....because this is what I'd make~

Love that shirt!
Or I could make an apron....but who am I kidding...I doubt I would ever actually use it!
Here's my take on Amy Butler styling......
{wish I would have picked up the cord underneath the buffet...but owell}

That is just a piece of fabric that I tied on myself this morning!! But I am going to make that dress out of it.....as soon as I get up the nerve to try:) I usually stick to pillows...but I am determined to try:)

Ok...NOW...I am getting ready to break out my sewing machine! So stay tuned b/c I have a lot of projects up my sleeve!!!!!!!

Do you sew?!?!?!?
If you do.....could you give me few pointers on how to sew a dress without a pattern?!?!?
