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...

Pansy Pig

This is the second time that I have found a pig cutting board to use as a canvas for my painting. This one is slightly larger than the previous one and also has a cute curly tail. It cost 1.49 at the Goodwill, one of their weekly specials. Every Tuesday they feature a different color of tag and anything with that color is 1.49. I love Tuesdays! Instead of another block design, I decided to paint pansies only in colors that they don't naturally grow. I have mentioned my preference for things in black and white, but, red is a color that is next on my list of favorites. The flowers really jump out at you in this project. My next step is where to put her. Ah, decisions. Happy Creating!

Cocktail Coasters Part One

What a beautiful day! Read the Sunday paper, went for a walk, relaxed and painted. I actually painted outside to fully take advantage of the weather. Since tropical things are on my mind because of yesterday, the project for this post is featuring refreshing summer beverages. This set of coasters is from a great thrift store and cost 1.91, what a bargain. The original style is definitely from the seventies. At first the plan was to make each coaster a different color, but that just didn't work. A neutral color worked much better with the colorful cocktails. With the distraction of the weather only three and the holder were finished today. The others should be done for tomorrow. Hmm...why does a margarita sound good right now?
