Sneak PeaK!!





Here is my brand spanking new product that I'll be taking to The CLothing Show in Toronto this weekend - SOFTIE SLEEVE SCRAPS SCRUNCHIE FOR YOUR NECK! So soft and so warm and really cute. I made them from left over t-shirt remmenants from other projects, mostly sleeves. Some open and close with special vintage buttons, and some are really just like a scrunchie...but for your neck.

Thanks to Emily and Ashley for being so sexy.

Wish me luck in Toronto!

I've made some more upcycled bangles with my new chocolate brown embroidery thread. The best part - the colour matches really well with my summer bangles too, so they can all still be worn together in the fall!



These are some new long necklaces I made out of some interesting patterened hooks/rings(?) I found. They are on vintage chains, and reclaimed charms. I think that they're really unique and lots of fun. I made one (not shown) for my friend Erin and she just told me that she also loves wearing it with the big ring off for a more subtle look. The big rings easily open and close on a tiny hinge so you can slide it out of the chain!
