1. Rosettes.
Rosettes make some of the cutest little "awards" so I was really excited when I got (yet) another craft book. I saw the instructions, got my materials, and dove right in. I should've known, it's never that easy.

2. Sewing
I've been sewing for a few years now, so you'd think I'd have it down pat. I know the basics; I've made aprons and bags and pouches and skirts. But a shirt? Who knew it would be so hard. I started this creation two years ago, no joke, and have been grappling with it ever since. I was going off a pattern, nothing too difficult, but it never got finished. Perhaps this one is more of a forgotten project rather than a failure, but all I know is that I probably couldn't wear it out of the house.
At least the fabric is cute. |

3. Clay creations
I love polymer clay and it tends to be easy to work with. Squish it around. Make a mistake? Just roll it back together. I actually made a pretty cute flower for this one, but the problems came after the fact. Whenever I make things out of clay and after I bake them, I have a terrible habit of breaking them in any which way. This little flower only sacrificed one petal, but still, it's a bit tragic. Perhaps it's time to invest in some glue.
When tragedy strikes. |
