CD Jewel Case Covers

It has been too long since I posted! It has been too long since I crafted! I always have a long list of things that I want to try. Unfortunately, many of these are put aside for the more demanding things in life.  After a crafting dry spell, not for lack of projects, or creativity, I am back!

When my photographer girlfriend asked me if I could make these for her, I said "Heck, Yes!" What she and I didn't know at the time was how long it would take me... To find the time, not to actually perform the task!
So, after three weeks of family visits, working way too much, walking a 5k with my mom, sisters, nephew, nieces, daughter and grand-children... I am BACK!

This was my first craft of the new year, and I am stoked!

These were fairly easy, and I cannot wait to do more! These were a special request, and I didn't have time to take lots of pics, so I don't have directions, but I might post them next time I make them. If you need directions sooner, email me! KraftyKlaudia@gmail.com

Here is the finished project. I hope my friend Leah at Leah Grace Photography is as excited as I am!

Burlap, Velcro, Paper, Buttons! DONE!

Thanks for reading!
Happy crafting!

Tile Trivets

They say inspiration comes from all kinds of places.  This one came from home depot.  We were wandering the store the other day, and happened to come upon these beautiful 6x6 inch tiles.  I knew my daughter didn't have any trivets, so I had her pick one she liked.  They came in boxes of 4, and I think they were around $6 a square foot.... which happened to be a box.  So we made 4.  I picked up the little sticky non-skid stoppers and we she got to work. 

The bottoms were very dusty, so we she scrubbed them with a damp cloth, and let them dry thoroghly. Then she stuck those little non skid thingies on each corner.

 That is another project that gets a "DONE" stamp! Use them individually, or together, depending on the size of the job!  I think she has used them every day since we she made them!

Thanks for joining me!

Happy Crafting!
