I bought $80 worth of silk flowers for $40 yesterday!!! To say that I'm ecstatic about said purchase would be an understatement.

I got to work with my garden last night.

Some wristwarmers made out of sock yarn and crocheted tightly. They should be warm without being bulky.

And a beret from self patterning yarn.

Card box for a shower/wedding

[bibliogrrl.livejournal.com]

Hi all!

So my sister is getting married in a couple of months. I'm not in the wedding (*whew* I've been in ENOUGH weddings already. :D ) but stated that anything they wanted me to do I'd be happy to do.

Her Maid Of Honor (known as the MoH, she's awesome) called and asked if I would like to make a card box for the bridal shower and wedding. I was completely stoked to do it.

I originally was going to make a sewn bag, to stretch over some sort of a frame, as sewing is normally my forte. But I was having trouble trying to make that work.

And then I found the kraft paper boxes at Joann.

The only guide from the MoH and my sister was to use the color scheme from the invitations. This is what I came up with:

It's a book purse!

I was having a terrible time looking for a tutorial online for this (the one from HGTV is TERRIBLE), and a friend of mine helped me find a couple. This one was helpful for figuring out the sides. I figured out a lot of the rest on my own, and the top flaps are my own design.

I did the sides in vinyl, which kind of worked. I used about a fat quarter's worth of fabric for the lining. It turned out a little wonky, but I think that's because of the vinyl sides. Oh well, I know for next time.

Yup, It was my day off, and I got a lot done.
