First, I made a necklace/lanyard for my work badge. . I kind of just....went for it. No real direction. Though I had read this post by Nichelle of Vintage Wanna Bee earlier in the day... It seems that's where my inspiration came from. {I think her's is cuter than mine...I'll have to try again sometime.} Here's my finished product:
I like it a lot, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough to wear it. Maybe tomorrow...We'll see.
The other thing I made was a little embellishment for my purse. I did have a plan for this one. I think it turned out really well! I was excited. And a girl at work complimented me on it today. Which was lovely. And very nice of her. It looks like this:
The back is really simple--I covered the back in fabric, then used some scraps to attach safety pins {I used 3 safety pins, but I wanted to be very sure that it was not going to go anywhere or wobble}. It took me about 15 minutes total...and I was catching up on House while I made it.
All of my supplies {except for the yarn, I got that from a Relief Society Women's Conference, and the safety pins, I found those near my mom's sewing machine} came from Hobby Lobby. {I love that store!} The blue rosette is made from some tulle I found that has pretty reflective silver circles in it. And the bright multi-colored rosette is part of a bundle of fabric I bought there.
Hope you all had a lovely Tuesday. :)
