Gifts from Friends 2013

Pin It Now!

I've said it before and I will say again:  I have some very talented and crafty friends of whom I adore.
This year for my b-day I received a lot of wonderful gifts from the heart.  Here are a couple of the handmade variety.

Stephanie Weber is an amazing seamstress.  The things she does with fabric is absolute perfection.  For my b-day she made me two of adorable potholders.

The fabric is amazing.  She said this is a great project for using up bits of fabric, vintage or otherwise.

Another lovely gift I received was from my dear friend, Liz Flint-Somerville, who crafted this bunting with a positive message.  I have it hanging above me right now in my office where I spend a great deal of time.   What a wonderful reminder.

If you can't read it, it says:  You are not a drop in the ocean.  You are the entire ocean in a drop.

And with that I say thank you!!!

Well, it turns out that January 1 is my b-day.  This year I hosted a game night for NYE to celebrate with a fun group of friends.  I decorated with fun paper lanterns and New Year's banners that I found in free boxes or at SCRAP, my number one decorating supplier.
The dress theme was fancy knits, hence the gold sweater and the super cool felted scarf that a friend of mine gave me for a previous b-day.  I did make the festive fascinator that you see in the photos.

I am getting ready to pour everyone champagne to ring in the new year with lots of cheer!

~I wish everyone the best and lots of creative reuse inspiration for 2013!
