Super fast, super easy Infinity Scarf

Here is a much better photo from the display I made at work :)

The hot fashion item that everyone has to have right now is a fun scarf. Here is my super easy scarf 'pattern' if you could even call it that. This fabric was purchased from Hancock fabrics and is 9.99 a yard. Basically you need a quarter of a yard to make this which means it cost about 2.50. It's a great bargain and you will get a ton of compliments on it.

The fabric is already ruffled so you just need to sew the two ends together and cut if you would like too. I gathered mine just a bit for a flower looking detail. At this point your basic scarf is finished. I decided to cut between the ruffles with a pinking shears for added interest. You can use regular scissors also, this fabric won't fray. There are great colors to choose from too! Hot pink, black, turquoise, a few shades of grey and white to just list a few.

This is the ruffle fabric in a dark grey

Put right or wrong sides together it looks good either way because of the fabric

Stitch together and loosely gather

This is what it will look like. You can continue to the next step or just leave as is.

Using pinking shears cut between the ruffles. This scarf has seven ruffles.

The outside strips have two ruffles and the middle one has three.

This is so EASY! You have to try it! Please feel free to comment if you have questions. This is the first time I have made step by step instructions for a post.

Heartthrob Cafe Memories

The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun! Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce. This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with. So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event. We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here. We danced and sang birthday songs. The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates. We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life. Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession. In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins. Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant. Let me tell you they were tricky! The murals are on glass and when

Beaded Sunflower

Remember yesterday when I said this beading thing could be addictive? Well, here is another beaded project. Originally the flower was supposed to be pink but the yellow seemed to work better. For now it is attached to a headband but that may change to a brooch. While I was photographing the subject of this post, it reminded me of a cruise that we went on. The ship was the Carnival Conquest and until we got aboard the ship, I was unaware that the decor was all impressionist artist influenced. Just wandering around and looking at the decor was like being in a floating gallery. Why this post reminds me of the cruise, the gigantic sunflower in this atrium! Here is a picture of it. Yes, another item influenced by Van Gogh, go figure.

A few paintings

Can you believe it? Another post this soon! I have been making stuff, but the posting has gotten slower, sorry. These two wooden plaques were bought at a thrift store for less than $2.00 each. They had some premade botanical pictures on them. I decided to just paint some random designs on them. They are about 12 inches square and they turned out great but now what I really want to do is some more paintings in this style only much larger. The designs would make such a statement on a larger scale. That may require a trip to Menards or Home Depot. Sorry for the picture quality, my camera in not working the best right now.
