I have a string of these lights in my living room. They would be so cute if I pompom'd them!

DIY Baby Bib
via Prudent Baby
This is just too easy and too cute not to make. I don't have a baby, but I have some pregnant friends right now that I can make this for as gifts!!
I am always finding awesome amazing projects out in the interwebs, and I'm going to try to regularly share a few here. Not just for you readers, but for myself ... I need a way to keep track of all the stuff I'd like to do someday! Currently I just mark them as "unread" in Google Reader, and forget about them. Now I can blog about them and forget about them! ha!

Anytime someone claims something is the best (especially homemade cookies!) I'm there.
Rag Quilts via Craftaholics Anonymous
I guess since I started "sewing" (I use the term loosely), I think I can do all sorts of things. I'm going to try out the pattern for this rag quilt from A Vision to Remember.

Jeepers, I can't get enough of eternity scarves.
Jewelry Organizer via Homemade by Jen
Yes, I need to organize my jewelry. Too many tangled necklaces & missing earrings. Besides, this is way cute.
Here are a few other projects I don't think I've blogged about here...
A pitiful little decoupaged puppeh.
Another decoupage project...
Bought the plain white wooden letter at Michael's, and used Mod Podge & scrapbooking paper to decorate.
A decoupaged tote bin... started as this:
Ended as this...
An eternity scarf...
Another eternity scarf...
Something similar to an eternity scarf... (*tutorial here)
(I adjusted this later to be wrapped more uniformly. I'm planning on making another with a thicker yarn, too.)
I sewed a camera strap cover. (*tutorial here)
Washer & ribbon necklace... (*tutorial here)
And, I'm really trying to get back in the habit of cooking more.

Ok, so I'll try to be more diligent and blog when I make crafts. Mostly I make things inspired by others, that ends up saving me from having to take step by step pics of most things I make. :)
I have been on a crafting binge lately, and I am loving it. I guess I should start showing more of my work on the blog...
Today I made fabric bracelets. They are so utterly easy, and so cute. You cut 3- 2"x12" strips of fabric, sew one end together, braid them, sew the other end, then sew it all together, done!
Ok, so I know you want more details than that. I got the idea from Craftaholics Anonymous, and she has a great tutorial for it.
I made 2 tonight (I would've made more, but I was actually busy with non-crafting stuff today, too!)
For this one, the strips were actually 1" wide instead of 2". I made it with 3 different fabrics, and ended up cutting the length shorter. My son likes it. :)
I finished up Week 1 of my 365 photos.
(click any photo to view the larger version...)
The eyes are the window to the soul.
This is my first self portrait of the 365 project this year.
I am really enjoying the project at the moment as it is ... as it's not filled with self portraits. Self portraits are so much more involved, and it takes so many more shots just to get them "right". I enjoy selfies still (obviously), but I like the ease of taking spontaneous photos, too.
I've got photo editing to do tonight. Have a fantastic Friday evening, everyone!
Less than an inch of snow, and our city went into chaos. My son was out of school today, but I had to work. The snow has almost all melted this evening, but we're in for a cold night. Time to fill our bellies with warm food, throw on a few layers of clothes and hide under the blankets until spring.
