Fairy Treehouse

Inspired by Swiss Family Robinson, Mommy Blessings made a whimsical fairy treehouse for her daughters' bedroom. The details and design are outrageously cool. Will something like this find its way into your home?

Help For a Plunging Neckline

With today's styles, it is difficult to find a shirt that doesn't have a plunging neckline! Shannon Makes Stuff has this brilliant idea to solve that problem. It is just a strip of t-shirt across the front. Find out how it stays in place HERE.

Buttons and Badges (AND Giveaway)

I'm totally in love with these buttons!!!
And these ones too! Aren't they beautiful?!?!?!

I feel so lucky to have Buttons and Badges as my newest sponsor. They offer definite eye candy in the form of buttons...and badges. (Just like the name of the store suggests.)

Who doesn't need amazingly beautiful buttons to accompany all their crafts projects? Each set comes with 25 assorted 1" (25mm) flat back buttons. Perfect for scrapbooking, card making, necklaces, rings, bows, hair adornment, holiday decor and other crafts.

How about these darling ponytail holders? Are you drooling yet?

This Amy Butler print pocket mirror would be oh so nice (and pretty) in my little purse!
I want to jazz up a boring jacket with these darling zipper pulls! Button And Badges has a sister shop called My Button Boutique where gorgeous pony tail holders, pocket mirrors, bobby pins, earrings and zipper pulls using the stunning buttons can be purchased. Great for personal use or for gifts. Everything is $4.00 or LESS!
These shops started as "uh-oh, I didn't think I would win" purchase on eBay. In order to pay for the cost of the new crafting tools, the Estes girls quickly got to work creating all things buttons. Slowly it evolved into a small family business in which all six Estes girls (ages thirty-something to three) help keep going.




Until Friday, there is a CHRISTMAS IN JULY SALE!!! At Buttons and Badges, you can buy one set of buttons and get another set for HALF OFF! (Stock up, ladies!!!!)

3-D Fabric Flower!

I don't know what you call these types of flowers. I'm sure they have a name. I'll call them 3-D flowers. I love them and want to make some! Once again, these would look stunning in hair or a clip attached to an article of clothing or bag.
Visit I'm Topsy Turvy to learn the secret of creating these 3-D Fabric Flowers HERE.

Paint Chip Mosaic!!!

This is an awesome idea!!!!! Hope Studios made this colorful mosaic out of PAINT CHIP samples. Can you believe that? I'm a sucker for reusing items that you will most likely throw away. Visit the paint chip mosaic tutorial HERE.
Or if you don't have many paint chips in your possession, you can use some scrapbook paper to make a mosiac or quilt-looking art. See this paper quilt HERE at Meet Virginia.
