2017 female DIY Christmas gifts



           This year I decided to make my Xmas gifts. They feel more personal that way!! I don't have a big family so it is very easy to whip up a few things and be done with everyone on my list. I still have my husband's gift to put together, but I still have time for that. Whereas the others they have to go through the mailing system. And this time of year it can be a nightmare getting your package.




 

My first gift to the lovely ladies in my family I made these wonderfully crocheted headbands to keep your ears warm. I had unused yarn in my closet because I had gotten too much when I made my husband his scarf for his birthday. I think it's clever to use the craft material you already have when deciding what to make for gifts. I used this tutorial(crochet headband tutorial)up to where she wanted to make the stitch more difficult, but I didn't have time to get flustered by using a new stitch. So I just used the one stitch all the way through.You can see the example on the right headband with wooden keys decor on it. But after that one, I decided to be a little spicier and add the half moon shapes to the end of the others. I love the 1920s and these are inspired by it!!  I hot glued my decor items, in case you were wondering.  These took me about a half hour to an hour to make.


I wish I would have taken pics of the items that I made outside the containers 😅. But if you have some polymer clay these I whipped up very quickly. One is an earing set and the other is a jacket pin. I thought some holiday inspired jewelry could never go wrong. They probably won't be used until next Christmas season but at least then they will be thinking about me 😉💚. I rarely throw cute little containers out so these I had in storage and I made them Christmas themed. 



I also love tassels, in fact, I am quite obsessed with them. Ever since I was little the big tassels I love playing with.  I have a Pinterest board specifically for tassels. The tutorial is so simple to make these too. These are awesome and you can use them however you like. Such as blinging out your purse, phone, or home decor. Even hang it on your Christmas tree if you like. 

Would love to see your DIY gifts!!! Post in the comments, if you have an easy one for me!!

Why its ok to quit a project/fail.

I've been meaning to write this post for a while. But life has been getting in the way. Esp when you decide to do a water fast and a juice fast lol. And quite frankly I just didn't make time to write it.😂 Not because I don't think its important but because its ok to procrastinate at times.  My whole life seems to be a series of rules that someone made up to keep me or you from just being your own damn self. I clearly love to defy these rules. For an instance as soon as I find a love in some type of hobby, I end up feeling compelled to put a time schedule on it(why do I do that). And make it more complicated than what it should be. Then I am like f@#k this time frame. But where did these rules come from? Is it just me creating these rules for myself? (maybe you can relate?) Or maybe it's the media that creates these rules of how perfect and successful I should be. I want to be successful but it can really zap the joy out of things. This especially can happen...

Creating moments of happiness.

Most people either unconscientious or conscientiously are searching for happiness in their life. But the truth from my own experience is you won't find it outside yourself. No person, thing or situation can make you happy for long. And lasting happiness is a myth . Because life is about the experience of all emotions. Without pain or sadness, or even just melancholy, you wouldn't know what happiness feels like. But the great thing is you can create more happiness in your life. There is an effort on your part, it won't just randomly be on your doorstep( or will it? ). But it is possible to create these moments of happiness. Before I share my own ways that may help you find joy in your life. I would like to talk about a universal law that most are not familiar with. This is the law of the pendulum . Which I think is an important law that most don't explain. Imagine a pendulum moving back and forth, one side is happiness and the other is sadness. The center is bal...

iphone apps that I use for good not evil

My iPhone apps I hope everyone is having a great week so far!! I have been wanting to write this post for a while but with my life just putting a damper on my mind power, I haven't had the chance till now.  I think our phone is kind of like a women's purse, we carry lots of essential things. As a woman, I still find it intriguing to see what other ladies carry along(and I know most Males wonder too). And along those lines, I feel that certain apps can be essential to our lives in so many ways. So let us delve into the "unsecret" life of my iPhone.  Mundane apps I use often/not so often (besides basic social media apps like FB, Twitter, Instagram) : Youtube - always good to have when far away from a computer. Fitbit - only randomly look at this one. Plant Nanny- I love this app because you grow a plant everytime you water it. You can only water your plant when you drink a glass of water yourself. This literally keeps me drinking water even though I tend...
