The Martha Stewart in Me

Do you see it??? I MADE that. How did I come to making this? Well I had a dream. I had made a belt and I suddenly opened my eyes, shot out of bed and spent about 30 minuets of my life making this. It's a belt and belts like the one above is making a statement in the bridal world. I have seen a lot of black belts on wedding dresses. Sooo what if I don't want to wear a black belt but something personal? Something that is mine and no one else has it. That's the beauty of crafts!

To make a belt like this is so simple that if I can do it you can too.

* For this one I used a blue ribbon, but you can use any color you want.
* I took a fake flower ( the kind you get at a craft store) I took three petals and sewed them together.
*the little Dollie was made by my great grandmother. I sew that to the petals
* I used one pearl-like bead and sewed that on too.

you are suppose to sew it on to the ribbon, but because my ribbon was to small ( mannequin size) I am going to save it, till I get the right size ribbon. It's got the blue, old, and it's new. Best part? It's mine!!! No body has it. Because of the personal touch with the Dollie my great grandmother made. A little piece of your history to have on your wedding day. It's special. It's simple yet you can make it as lavish as you want.

Yesterday at work, we had a pretty slow day. No body was coming in... it was creepy. But not as creepy as the random dude that came in, and asked to see Bridget. He just came in and it creeped Bridget out, it made everybody feel creeped out. He left and we haven't seen him again.

I will be doing weddings in November and next July. So I'll keep you updated on those.

I hope you all have a great day, and I hope to be posting soon! God Bless!
