Craft Month Projects, Cont.

Continuing on with this self imposed project extravaganza, I was able to finish up my cross stitch on March 7 & 8.  Already framed and hung. 

Val had heart shaped boxes filled with black & white M&M's as wedding favours and I snagged two from our table that night.  I made a St. Pat's Day altered art box on March 9.  Green & gold glitter inside with Irish castle pic.  It's stacked on foam tape to make it more 3D.

Glued the cover on, added the shamrocks and rhinestones.

And some ribbon on the side.

March 10 wasn't very productive except for setting up some projects, which I guess counts since it was craft prep.

March 11 I did another box but Valentines themed.  Used red and irridescent white glitter inside with the 3D saying.


Added the pearl strand around the lid.

And some ribbon and lace on the side.

Cupcakes from scratch count as a craft so here is March 12th's submission.  I cheated with the icing and used store bought.

March 13 was spring forward day and I got about 3 hours of sleep so I was somewhat of a zombie.  I did manage to paint a couple birdhouses and finish this one.




I am seriously running out of projects to fill this month which I never thought I'd see happen.  Wish me luck!

National Craft Month


I had no idea that there was a national craft month!  I found out on the 3rd, which was timely since I'd made the ATCs on March 1st and 2nd.  I decided to try and work on and/or complete at least one thing, per day, all month.  Not sure how successful that'll be, but so far this is what I've gotten done. 

March 3, continuing to work on celestial cross stitch.  Projects in progress that are worked on every day will be considered  'craft of the day'.  

March 4, three more map pendants of places I love and a peace sign patch pendant.

March 5, dragonfly necklace

Also March 5, I tried a couple of tiny 'hurricane lamps', made from a bead, push pin and wire, with ring on the bottom.

March 6, beaded bracelet.

Not sure if I can keep up for the whole month but I'll give it the ol' college try!
