Christmas Clutch

A couple weeks ago I found this pattern and was dying to make it! I finally found some time to give it a go. I'm really quite tickled with how well it turned out! I've never made a clutch before, and I really liked the idea of using scraps to make things. Such a brilliant idea! Why Christmas you ask? Well.... that's all I really had that I thought would go really well together. And it turned out so cute!

Can't wait till Christmas to start using it!

You'll have to excuse the poor pitcure quality. I'm sorta coveting an SLR camera at the moment

as well as a Silhouette, but that's another blog post!

Why is everything nice so expensive?

Menu Board

Even though it may not look like it, I've been making lots of things! I'll try my best to get them all up for y'all to see!

My first one here is a Menu Board. Can I just say how much I love it!! I don't have much wall space in my kitchen so I had to find a long skinny frame to fit on the one bare smidgen of a wall I had open.

I LOVE IT!

All it is, is a photo frame with a cut piece of fabric under the glass. I then used my Cricut and cut out some vinyl letters to adhere to the front of the glass. I got my spacing a little off, guess I need to work on that... Then you use a dry erase marker to write in what you are having for dinner each night. I love being able to look at it and knowing exactly what's happening. I don't know about you, but I spend a lot less money at the grocery store when I have a plan for the week and stick to it. That way I only shop once a week rather then 2 or 3 times. It's so cool!
