0 New hobby: Jewelry

 So, I've picked up a new hobby.  Its one I've been eyeing for quite some time:

JEWELRY MAKING!



Yesterday I stopped by 'Hobby Lobby' on the way home and picked up some basics.  I had a kit of 5 small wire tools.  I acquired them in a white elephant swap 6-7 years ago.  All I needed now was a pair of round nose pliers (30% off) and some beads (50% off). 
I put together two pairs of earring last night.  Click on the picture to get a better look.  I also included the clip I learned on at my neighbor's house.  Thanks for teaching me Janette!

0 Fixed a dress

I found this cute dress on clearance at Kohls for $7!!!

Problem: it was a tad too low in the neckline (cleavage baby) and a tid bit short (just brushed my knee caps).

Solution: I added some black lace by hand. ($3.54 -Walmart).

TaDa... A $10 dress!
