TGF's Farm Fresh Friday -- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Image
By
Hello!  I am hosting Farm Fresh Friday!  The theme this week is Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!  I just have a whole bunch of stuff that I've saved thinking I will use them one day.  Haha, do you do that too?  I guess it's kind of like my junk drawer but some stuff is just too cute to throw away, you know?  So in that sense I'm a tiny bit of a hoarder.

I made a small card sized 3.75 x 3.75 inches for the reduce part of my challenge.  You don't have to do them all but I thought that would be cute.  I colored up Bright Bean and also used the Wishes from Sparkling Season stamp set.  The birthday sentiment is from Lawn Fawn.  Can you guess my reused stuff?  The cardboard is pretty obvious.  I saved it cause it was small and cute.  I inked it up a bit and cut it into a heart shape.  Behind that is a pink netting that I've used before on another card and is the packaging from some rice noodles.  I just cut it up and the color is so pretty!

Here's a close up of Bright Bean.

Hope you'll head over to see what the DT has made.  I love what they have created!  So pretty and cute too!  Hope you'll play along with this challenge!

Thanks for reading!

Hello!  Today I'll be sharing the last amigurumi I made during my crochet frenzy.  I haven't been crocheting much recently except for this one little project I'm kind of procrastinating with.  I really do love this last one because I think it came out really cute. This is a little crocheted robot designed by Bubblegum Belles .  You can find the pattern HERE .  Sometimes I purchase the patterns especially if they are really cute.  But a lot of designers do list their patterns for free too on their blogs so I always check to see if they have a blog or not.  It's also important to read their pattern listing too if you are purchasing to see whether they are for personal use or also for commercial use.  Here is a different view of him.  Happy that he is able to sit on his bottom.  I actually cut out 2 felt hearts using a heart die, blanket stitched them together, and then hot glued the heart to the robot.  I tried stitching one h...

Snowman gift card holder

By
Hi!  I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences.  It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts.  I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one.  It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch.  The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card.  I added this fun card that I stamped.  You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks.  I hope I can make more of these little guys.  These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...
