Handmade Gifts!

I've been trying to step out of my jewelry bubble for the past week and work on some fabric projects. I've seen several felt and fabric flower brooches and I thought they would make great gifts for my girlfriends! I've been using some beautiful fabric scraps that I purchased from Sandi at Sandi's Stash and vintage earrings that I received from my Sneaky Santa! Here are a few of the finished projects:

This one is for my best friend Chelsea.
Her sorority colors are purple and pink!

For my other friend Chelsea!

I'm not sure who this one is going to yet..
possibly my best friend Bryghte! 

For me! I pinned this little guy on my
favorite winter coat. 

Here's my flower pinned on my ever-so-linty
black pea coat!

As I said in a previous blog post, handmade gifts are perfect to give to those who mean a lot to you. Not only do they reflect the recipient's personal style, but the fact that you spend lots of time finding fabric, meticulously cutting out circles by hand, and stitching these babies up really shows how much you care.

Are any of you giving handmade gifts this year?

P.S.
To whoever my Sneaky Santa is, thank you SO much for my gift. I have already used several pieces from it and have about 500 other ideas for it. You're the best!

My Busy Mind.

I've got a problem. I generally have about 368 different craft ideas going through my head, but lately I've had at least 423. My latest craft endeavor? Felt flowers. I've been making these like nobody's business. Here's a little creation I made for myself. Maybe I'll make some to share with you guys on Etsy! (unless, of course, I move on to another idea..)

(Please excuse the terrible quality. I was too lazy to get my "real" camera
and used my phone.)

Does anyone else have creative ADD? Please tell me that I'm not alone in this! :)
