on a trip to hawaii island last summer, i picked up a burlap coffee bag from one of the coffee farms i visited.  i used the burlap to create this lined/zippered tote bag!   this is my first attempt at zippers too...i'm pretty happy with the results.  what do you think?

here's my yarn wreath, inspired by starbucks:



it's the eco-friendly version, made with a hanger and newspaper filling for the yarn balls...and it turned out to be an awesome stash-buster

one of my co-workers is leaving *sniff*, so i turned our fave phrase into an awesomely classy work-of-art:



(it's got a loop to hang on a wall, but it's laying on a table in this pic)

thanks for looking!

eek!  i'm not sure where i should post this, but i really wanted to share.  so i made these bookmarks for my bf...







and the tree close up...


it's my first embroidery attempt  
thanks for looking!

hi everyone...
i'm not a huge photographer, but i just wanted to share a picture i took just yesterday.

the snails were out after the rain:

i've been snooping around craftster.com for a couple months now and i finally have something to post...yay!  a few weeks back, i was trying to think of a fun pillow to make my (sorority) lil sis as an initiation present and i thought a wedge pillow would be super cool.  one of my friends gave me 2 pairs of old jeans and here are the results:




hopefully these pictures turn out.  let me know what you think!

*edit*  okie...now i think the pictures should work...
