Homework: 2013 Review - My favorites

Happy New Year! I wanted to recap 2013 and re-share some of my favorite projects from the past year. Thanks for visiting me throughout the year and sharing with me at my link parties. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that my little corner of the creative world is still chugging along and that you take the time to stop by.

So here are my favorite projects that I created here at homework in 2013.

Vintage Button Snowflake | A snowflake made out of vintage buttons and delicate seam binding.

Wedding Save the Date  |  A unique “save-the-date” card with symbols of something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.

Stenciled Butterfly Feeder Jar  |  A wine jug becomes a butterfly feeder with stenciled flowers. It hangs upside down with sweet sugar water to give the butterflies a little sip.
