Crafty Smafty

I've always wanted to be a crafty person. You know, the kind that sew, quilt, paint, or whip up cool decor stuff, etc...that kind of thing. But I've never really been good at any of those things, although I've wanted to, and I know lots of people who are good at all those things. My mother-in-law is one of those people. She's amazing and sews gorgeous quilts like these all the time. Incredible!
I have to admit my sewing attempts in the past have not been very successful, but hopefully someday I will get better at it. Anyway, so I found something crafty that I enjoy doing that I actually can do. Here are a few of the bracelet watches that I've made recently.





I made this one below for a friend of mine and I love it! I liked it so much I wanted to keep it. :)

Also this week I got up the guts to try roll making again. Chad is the roll maker in our family and he always makes killer rolls. Mine just never seem to turn out as good and so I don't do it very often. But this time was a success and they turned out delightful!

I was just about to write a post almost exactly like this, except I wouldn't end with bracelet watches because I've never made one of those.

But they are beautiful, and your rolls look delicious. Great job!!

Now I want a roll! I miss Chad's rolls! They are right up there with the Lion House rolls! Cute watches too! I've had to stop wearing most jewelry since Allie pulls it all off. I bet you'd do great selling the watches though!!
