I've been busy this weekend getting all the projects done that I wasn't able to get through this week. It's important to me that I try and use up as much of my stash as possible before I go out and buy more stuff so I have had to adjust some of the projects to use what I had available.
Instead of a fabric pom pom necklace, I decided to have a go at making a yoyo necklace. I love how it turned out! Making the yoyo's was a fun thing to do while I was watching a movie and I added a few of my vintage buttons. I had tried using ribbon but much prefer the old beaded chain I had.
This is going to be a present for a friend as I have WAY to many notebooks as it is! I love the combination of aqua, blue and lime green. That is the last piece of my favourite floral fabric too.
My crafty tool belt was a fun late night project on Friday. I have saved this pink grid fabric for so long so I am glad to finally put it to good use. The grey fabric look quite mottled, because I spilled some paint on it while I was sewing it and had to trow the whole lot in the wash straight away! I kinda like the texture it gives it though. You can hardly see but it has three vintage buttons on it too. This will be good for carrying my ipod while I'm busy crafty or cleaning.
All in all it's been a pretty good week. My style file is filling up pretty quickly and I have a few goals for this week coming. So stay tuned!

I spent the greater part of today starting and working on my "style file" for Style School. This was a lot of fun. I wanted it to be really colourful so used all my favourite colours and papers instead of saving them like I usually do. I keep most the designs quite simple.
I made nine dividers instead of five. This was mostly because I miscalculated the numbers when I was dividing but it turned into a happy accident because I had a few different categories and I could add in some for my journaling and the question and answer parts. I'm sure I'll fill them out no problem.
One of my big "projects" for the year is my wedding. I am hopefully getting married March 2011 (depending on finances) but I really have not a clue where to start. If I had my way I'd probably just elope! So hopefully this will be able to give me a good starting point in the direction I'd like to go.
Now I just have to start filling it up. I've made a pretty good start but have heaps more to cut out and put in it. Shame I only have one more day of holidays left!
I've been waiting such a long time to get started on this. I've been looking forward to it all summer. Sadly I only have two days to play and have fun before heading back to work but I'm gonna make the most of it! I can't wait to get started on my style file and I'm really looking forward to the style features with some really amazing guests! Time to get started on my file...
