Couple new craft projects


Been awhile since I posted but my knitting project has been taking longer than planed(life has been getting in the way). In the mean time here are a couple projects that I have completed. Second one was a group project as it was for a ladies church activity.

The first is one I made back in December. I like to have a Christmas planter on my front porch each year but to buy them they are a little expense. But with coupons, sales and ready shopping around I was able to make one for a good price. It's made with fake branches and can be used over and over again without shelling out money for a new one each year and if I want to change the ribbon etc a trip to the dollar store will be all it takes.

 
 
Also today our church lady group had a mini-spa day where we gave ourselves a facial using natural ingredients and than made ourselves a hot/cold pack.
 
Here is the front of the invitations that were given out with the date/time info on the back. We used remove-able tape for the info so that info can be removed and the ladies can use this for bookmarks.
 
 
 
Below is a picture of what the ladies when home with. A sleepy time bath tea, recipe book, hot/cold pack that included lavender (in plastic bag). The bag is shown unfilled. The bags were pre made and filled during our afternoon activity.
 
A fun time was held by all and we had fun trying out some different DIY beauty recipes.
