Japanese Furoshiki Gift Wrapping Technique

I stumbled upon this video the other day while looking for creative gift wrapping ideas. It's called furoshiki. Originating from the Japanese culture where it promotes caring for the environment and reducing waste; Furoshiki is eco-friendly wrapping. Using techniques similar to origami, it can be used for gift wrapping, grocery shopping or simply as decor. Check it out!

I must I must increase my.....

production! What did you think I was talking about? ;)

I'm busily working away on new items for the up coming holiday season. (Christmas is only 104 days away! Ack!) I can't wait to get some of these items finished and posted! I'm even playing around with wire wrapped rings! Okay that's enough exclamation point excitement for now!!! lol

Oh and did I mention I'm getting some new cute soap molds................

Perfect bracelet for work!

For some reason it takes me forever to put the bracelets together! Maybe I'm just a perfectionist but I will usually thread the beads on several times to get just the right combination. I really like how this one turned out! You can't really tell from the pic but the green stone beads have a slight shimmer to them that's really beautiful.

Trying new things!

Here's some new pieces I made last night while my honey was working. I'm really intrigued by the wire post earrings and can't wait to play around with different designs.

I love love spoon pendants and have been wanting to make some for awhile. I think these turned out really cute. The cross is actually a decorative spoon handle that I made into a pendant. Sorry I'm keeping that one for myself!

Domino pendants

I've been soooo busy lately with the wedding but I'm pretty proud of myself since I did actually get a few jewelry items completed. Now I'm going to show them off! I think the black dragon domino tiles I found are really cool and make great pendants! You like??

Diaper Cake

Here's my first diaper cake I made for a friend of mine who's baby shower I hosted. It turned out really cute and only took a couple hours. What do you think?
