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. 
Vintage Button Snowflake | A snowflake made out of vintage buttons and delicate seam binding. 
Old Sweater New Storage | A giant coffee can covered in an old sweater makes a great crayon bin. Put the cover on for easy storage.
Lemon Sugar Cubes | Lemon and sugar combined into sugar cubes ready to add to your tea.
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.

Dyed Speckled Eggs | Dyed eggs get a speckled treatment with gold Sharpies.

Faux Felted Acorns Made Without Wool or Water | If you love felted acorns but don’t have any wool, these little balls of yarn are the perfect felting “cheat”.
