Gift Guide: The Girlie Girl

Make It Pink

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month so get out your pink paint because CraftStylish will donate $1 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure for each pink project uploaded to the Make it Pink Challenge gallery during the month of October.

Projects can be anything from garments to jewelry, and everything in between. If you have made the item, and it is the color pink, it can be included in the challenge. The person who uploads the highest number of pink projects to the gallery will win an In-Home cabinet, filled with one spool of each color of 100% polyester thread by Gütermann.


Upload your project now! I'm headed there now.

Read the official rules for more details.

Bunnies and Beads

I hope everyone had a super weekend! Yesterday my hubby and I went to see House Bunny and I thought it was hilarious! Anna Faris should totally be on SNL. If you want to see a fun chick flick this movie is for you.

I love getting in new shipments of jewelry findings and beads. Here are my latest creations. Click on the pictures for more info.

My first international customer!

I hope everyone had a good weekend! My parents were in town for my 26th b-day and we went bowling, to the Austin Zoo and ate at way too many yummy restaurants. We went to the Cheesecake Factory yesterday and I had the biggest and yummiest strawberry shortcake that I have ever seen. Thank goodness for spin class tomorrow!

I just made this cute card today using acid free white card stock and pretty pink fabric. I sewed the birdie to the card using my sewing machine with white thread. I'm getting ready to put sewn cards in my etsy shop. Let me know what you think.
