Etsy Sunday - singleBbeautiful
Shortly after Ryan the Gabbart and I got married, I needed a change. No no - not a change of heart or home, a new ring. Mine was pointy in places and not super comfortable to wear (although pretty). I wanted something simple and easy. Something recycled and easy on the Earth (and it’s people!) Enter Green Karat, a wonderful jeweler located right here in Texas!
Fast forward 4 years later and I’m looking a change again. Something like before, but different! Well what else do I see on the Etsy homepage today than singleBbeautiful’s simple and beautiful rings. Great price and wonderful, sustainable design? Jackpot!
Crafting for the Craftily Challenged Pt. 2
So my recent adventure into the world of origami didn’t turn out as planned, but I have not given up on crafting. In the spirit of being green and sticking with paper crafting I decided to venture into the world of stationery making. This month I made newspaper stationery. It was super easy and a great way to recycle newspaper.
I found these awesome envelope templates from a company called Paper Source (http://www.paper-source.com). Simply trace, cut, fold and voila! You have your very own hand made stationery—perfect for notes, invitations or anything you need.
Next month I will put down my paper and step into the realm of sewing. Join me for my first ever Sew Crafty Houston sewing class with Sarah Gabbart. For more information just check out our classes at http://www.sewcraftyhouston.com.

Until next time, happy crafting!
Etsy Sunday - Kit and Caboodles
I’m a kit girl. Even though I have a huge craft closet at home and a kind-of-huge craft closet called Sew Crafty, I still buy kits. Why? I have no idea - they are so cute in their package, so promising with their supplies all neatly packed in there. The photos are so hopeful with all the cool stuff you can make with said kit. Which is why it’s hard not to buy everything in the Kit and Caboodles Etsy shop!
