I've been in a Funk...

Not a crafting funk because I have still been crafting away, just an I don't want to sit at my computer and write about my craft funk!! I know I am pretty lame! But thanks to some lovely friends, maybe I am feeling it again! This past week I got together with some of my favorite gals and we crafted a little! We made these adorable butterfly necklaces that my Friend had found! Some made them for them selves others including me made them for our little girlys. Madi wore hers today and she looked darling!!

These were really simple! The hard part is just starting. We used rectangle scraps, diamonds ribbon, brads, wire, leather basically whatever your little head can come up with! My favorite part of my necklace is the two leather butterflys. We cut the shape of a butterfly out of leather and modge podged sheet music to the butterfly. I knew that my necklace was going to moo so I made sure the words on it were " love you" and "sunshine" Because well I love her and also one of our favorite songs around her is You are my Sunshine.

And then this is a flower necklace that I made for my self awhile ago, it's not as bright as the other one!! So I don't feel as silly wearing this one around! In fact I have actually worn it twice!! Yahoo!!

Another thing about me!

I don't know why this is, but there are so many styles and fashions out that I absolutely LOVE and adore, but for some reason half of them I would never wear or feel that I could pull them off! There are some things out there that are just so bright and bold and that scream BRANDI! but when it comes right down to it I just don't feel comfortable wearing them! Maybe it is because I like too many styles, because I also love a less bright and bold look like the anthropology and a more classic look. But things even like my ruffle scarf just make me feel weird! I LOVE that scarf but if I wear it I feel like I am saying look at me look at me!! And you know those boutique jeans with the white stitching, I broke down and bought a pair from my good friend but it took me a couple of weeks of wearing them before I stopped feeling too conspicuous! Weird huh! It could also be that I am a spit up queen and I have all kinds of different nasty things on me at all times of the day (thanks to three precious beings!) so maybe it is just the time of life that I am in, and that's why prefer my good old comfy tees and jeans!

Anyways, Last summer I fell in love with these fabric flower necklaces they have been on my to try list for sooooo long and tonight I finally got the courage up to just throw one together! (super easy!!!) But now I have this giant bright bold necklace that I will look at and I will love but that will probably just sit in my closet to be stared and and adored on it's own little hook! Why is that???? I feel like this thing is totally me, the bright colors the funkiness of it, but yet if I wore it I would feel so out of place! Matt has challenged me to wear it tomorrow so we will see what happens, and who knows maybe after a week or two of staring at it I will eventually have it glued to my chest, until then to the closet it goes!
