So you have heard the rage about these right? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are only making a limited edition of these andy warhol tomato soup cans for target. I only bought 6. They have 4 different colors but I really didn't love the 4th color. So when I found them at our local target I knew I wanted to use them as planters. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean cuteness overload right??? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was so easy and cheap! Here are the simple steps: empty the soup (you can save the soup for later - yay lunch) and clean out the can (as carefully as you can so you don't soak the wrap), put some rocks in the bottom to help with drainage, fill it up with dirt and then pop the succulents in! Also I am going to mod podge the outside to help protect them from water. (thanks to <a href="http://www.shopgussied.com/">shopgussied</a> 's suggestion on instagram)<br />
<br />
Here's the after! I am so happy with how cute they turned out! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now my take on it - Of course I had to add embellishments and I had to use felt - because it wouldn't be mine if it didn't have those two things :) I also thought I would add lace for the handles because I thought it added a nice little detail. Enjoy - this was a fun little project and so easy - things like this make me love the machine again. Now go and sew and show me what you make!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So I had this thought in my head to make a stitched canvas. I SWEAR I saw it on Pinterest but went back and researched and couldn't find it anywhere. Maybe it was in my messed up head, maybe it was some mixed together (perhaps back to this <a href="http://www.iveyhandcrafted.blogspot.com/2012/05/weekly-pinterest-diy-week-five.html">DIY</a>) - either way here is my weekly DIY! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ya'll try it! It was a fun project. I bought an oval canvas at <a href="http://www.joann.com//">Joanns</a> and had all the embroidery thread and buttons at home. Next I wrote <a href="http://www.bringiveyhome.blogspot.com/">Ivey's </a>name on it in my messy writing - then stitched over it. It was easy to stitch through the canvas. I used a simple <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backstitch">backstitch</a> to "copy" over the lettering. Then I decided (of course) that it needed embellishments. So I added little x's in some of my favorite colors and chose buttons that matched. I think this would be a fun project for any nursery or kids room! Have fun with it and be sure to let me know if you make one, I would love to see your finished canvas. </div>

I saw this cutie pie DIY on pinterest a while back and thought it was
adorable and a great use for embroidery thread. So I did the exact same
thing when I found this cute racket at a local antique store. I loved
the heart idea so I thought I would try my hand at the same design. This
DIY stretched out over two weeks because I have been super busy - but
this one also took the longest out of all the ones I have tried so far.
But have fun with it, try initials, other shapes, etc. It was a fun
little project that will add a fun detail to our house. </div>

This week I decided to try an embroidered necklace. I have been seeing these everywhere and been wanting to try my hand on it. I finally ordered the blanks off etsy and decided to play around. The first two are the originals followed by my takes. I LOVE IT! I think this could be a great new project. I see a fun new adoption fundraiser!! </div>

Better late than never right? Sorry this week got away from me but the other night I decided to try my hand at a printed piece with embellished details. I chose a lyric from a favorite song and added my own touch. I used printable fabric instead of canvas - but I would love to try to actually get some canvases printed and try my hand at the above image. </div>

I remember friendship bracelets from back in the day and seeing all these pins on pinterest about the friendship bracelet trend has brought back so many memories. So I wanted to try my hand at a few simple ones.</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
I made 5 bracelets - 3 wrapped bangles, one simple friendship bracelet and one braided bracelet. Here are a few with links to the tutorials.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">My friend Sarah taught me the wrapped friendship bracelet, I thought I would try that same wrap on a bangle, and also just wrap a bangle. My friend Amy had one that was braided and I wanted to try my hand at that. I did one long braided piece and it fit three times around my wrist so I sewed them together with a big button. I added buttons to my 2 friendship bangles - I thought it was a great way to finish it and hide all the "knots". I love how these turned out and definitely want to make more - maybe this time I will actually make them for friends :)</span></div>

I have been wanting to embellish a cardigan for some time, I just haven't sat down and done it. Till last night - I kept seeing this cutie pic of a cardigan and I thought I would give it a try. This was VERY easy and a fun little embellishment for an old cardigan. I went with the exact shape they did, but I know I will be doing more with my own style! So much fun! </div>

Anyone who knows me knows this was a challenge for me since I HATE to use the machine. But this little project made me fall "a little" in love with my machine. I have a feeling these are going to get addicting...I have already cut some pendants out of a vintage tablecloth to make another set!</span></td></tr>

I kept seeing painted wooden bead tutorials on pinterest and my friend Amy and I were shopping at <a href="http://www.joann.com//">Joann's</a> and she was gathering items to make some so I thought I would try my hand at it.

So far my new year has been great. I have been taking a MUCH needed break and trying to rest before customs are back in business on February 1st. Apparently I worked too hard over the holidays (which I feel very fortunate for even though I was exhausted) and pinched a nerve in my shoulder. So now I am forced to relax while I take meds, rest, ice and PRAY that it gets better soon. In the meantime I have made this lovely wreath and decided to post a tutorial for all of you to make your own. Enjoy and make sure you email me (tobi@iveyhandcrafted.com) with your finished projects or post them on my facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/iveyhandcrafted">wall</a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6RY9qzVRNBTk4F44ii2t_kTIwyGqvgoJpxuL-O7PQucIK-BlwQ82_0zkCwm7gzhQTRHqBTfUqXg-0EUmkwL9LqGQEN8PQxXQxMQlqGz-ZyetA6isu3AkR2AF9uVK4mdlk0cx5iqt8oC47/s1600/happyheartday.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6RY9qzVRNBTk4F44ii2t_kTIwyGqvgoJpxuL-O7PQucIK-BlwQ82_0zkCwm7gzhQTRHqBTfUqXg-0EUmkwL9LqGQEN8PQxXQxMQlqGz-ZyetA6isu3AkR2AF9uVK4mdlk0cx5iqt8oC47/s400/happyheartday.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699458871328291042" border="0" /></a><a style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjcl-Qeuf5xndN92TFZ8QDivB_9ojkCujsRHWKMecJI_HUW35kvTQOW5SFO0kkko-sVo6qT-idjSkApzXw3dT0J1MHqP8h4j07dsxyz3r3O5IX-S4M7sAQFCiLa5GSBNRMhqM18eghOH26/s1600/WREATHstone.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 398px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjcl-Qeuf5xndN92TFZ8QDivB_9ojkCujsRHWKMecJI_HUW35kvTQOW5SFO0kkko-sVo6qT-idjSkApzXw3dT0J1MHqP8h4j07dsxyz3r3O5IX-S4M7sAQFCiLa5GSBNRMhqM18eghOH26/s400/WREATHstone.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699459157603436290" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tools Needed:</span><br /><br />1: Yo Yo Makers - found <a href="http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/productdetail.jsp?pageName=search&flag=true&PRODID=xprd140348">here</a><br />2 & 4: 14 inch straw wreath (you can pick any size) - found <a href="http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/productdetail.jsp?pageName=search&flag=true&PRODID=prd37423">here</a><br />3: embroidery thread<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn7EwnstI9Td5ZK-bYN8B0jk_yj5vsZFqTASp4_cADlD005FnnSLaUF35fESpASdIILYsri8S48S0xv_zrK6aXSNNkMwMtaVqCCKe4IEyeNVYxjw6KmXYR4hVCyyAXLz54zs6DwfjG0DRX/s1600/tools1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn7EwnstI9Td5ZK-bYN8B0jk_yj5vsZFqTASp4_cADlD005FnnSLaUF35fESpASdIILYsri8S48S0xv_zrK6aXSNNkMwMtaVqCCKe4IEyeNVYxjw6KmXYR4hVCyyAXLz54zs6DwfjG0DRX/s400/tools1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699458875798228642" border="0" /></a>5: your favorite buttons<br />6: felt in several colors<br />7: your choice of fabric<br />8: yarn in your color choice - I bought these <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Lion-Brand-Hometown-USA-Yarn-Honolulu-Pink/19341308">here</a><br /><br />not pictured - sharp scissors, needle, glue gun<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi30qmn07UEL7pUSV7Za7ixIb00M5e1C3UHYEb81JGW1aqWIJ9CAIr40P08BUl5hikbL92hZxDdin8DmVMbBmXmJC_8DXOyTQSuy8aSodED0rrlucjob-4Ag5NPGp_OXS7SY5xZzPW_zhXU/s1600/tools2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi30qmn07UEL7pUSV7Za7ixIb00M5e1C3UHYEb81JGW1aqWIJ9CAIr40P08BUl5hikbL92hZxDdin8DmVMbBmXmJC_8DXOyTQSuy8aSodED0rrlucjob-4Ag5NPGp_OXS7SY5xZzPW_zhXU/s400/tools2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699459138075373154" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >1st Step:</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">wrap your wreath - take a seat on the couch in front of your favorite tv show, this can take a while ;)<br /><span style="font-style: italic;">DO NOT TAKE OFF THE PLASTIC WRAP!

Little did I know just how easy they were!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Step by step:</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;">cut a long strip of felt and fold in half<br />1. snip with very sharp scissors on the folded side - don't cut all the way to the end, leave room to glue or sew<br />2. Fold over one end and continue to wrap around till you have wrapped the whole strip into a circle<br />3.

I actually pinned all mine on first to see how they all worked together. This is a great way to see how your wreath will look before you glue them on.<br /><br />Finally - glue your flowers on - I did mine all in a cluster on one side and love how it turned out.

Emily I thank you for your lovely gift - Ivey will CHERISH it :)</span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0qOILTkBB5G2XJghwjPxWHUoTryHJpc1WYSzktoVHuieXW9SbJLJKIhDeCaNoSi5_XJy1HUFSAUPGSXzuVqtla2cGSsDPdQlialxQ7Vs7iaNfdEPqJEuuR0bS3GD7SZfFweN6LK7yBVPi/s1600/079a72b21d6b11e180c9123138016265_7.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0qOILTkBB5G2XJghwjPxWHUoTryHJpc1WYSzktoVHuieXW9SbJLJKIhDeCaNoSi5_XJy1HUFSAUPGSXzuVqtla2cGSsDPdQlialxQ7Vs7iaNfdEPqJEuuR0bS3GD7SZfFweN6LK7yBVPi/s400/079a72b21d6b11e180c9123138016265_7.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683454265241087506" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Here are a few more things from her shop - I might need this little plush fox - he is furry on the back - EEEK!
