two things i love around my home: the crafty edition

sometimes i get in these sort of insane creative overload type phases and i've got more ideas than i have hours in a day, or days in my life, even. lately that's how i've been, and i just look at some of my favorite supplies and want to use them in so many different projects! two of my current favorite supplies/sources for inspiration are my dangerously low supply of stones and my designer bolts of fabric. i kid you not, they were going to throw this fabric out if i didn't agree to give it a good home! good thing i like sewing!

i've had this idea for a bag utilizing a scrap of vintage floral fabric and some left over canvas. neither piece could make a bag on its own, but together they could make a pretty nice tote! i'm almost excited enough to make it today, but will i? probably not. i tend to procrastinate on sewing projects.

i should tell you, in case you're not already familiar with them, i am not the creator of the "two things i love around my home" posts. kassi is the one who came up with them, and i think she should start them again, don't you? if you like them as much as i do, go visit her blog and leave her a comment saying: 1. i love two things tuesday 2. you're pretty, and 3. i'll join two things tuesday if you start it up again.

also, this isn't so much a sales pitch as it is a little plea for help on behalf of the animals. this month, and maybe months to follow, i'm donating 25% of my sales to the lynchburg humane society. it breaks my heart (literally, it physically hurts my heart) when i think about and see all the animals who so desperately need homes, food and medical care, so i want to help since i can't adopt them all.

and one last thing, my good friend annie is having a dinosaur toes GIVEAWAY on her blog, so be sure to stop by and enter (and tell her she's pretty and be sure to congratulate her on finishing grad school)!
