Chunky Finger Knit Necklace | Thanks I Made It
If you’ve been with me for a while, you might remember when I posted a finger knit project that caused a lot of us pain. There were some helpful folks who tried to explain it, but I still totally failed! Hopefully you will have a bit more luck because this necklace is adorable! I think that once you get the hang of finger knitting you won’t be able to stop, so unlike me, keep persevering!

Roped Macrame Necklace | A Pair & A Spare
I showed this DIY to my mum who said ‘that’s so 70’s’ but I still like it! Sometimes when all you feel like wearing is a tshirt and jeans, a big statement necklace is just the thing to make it special. Macrame is so easy to pick up too. If you want a smaller pendant, use smaller string. Just don’t wear it with bell bottoms or you’ll get looks from my mum!

Kate Spade Inspired Skirt | Melissa Esplin

If I had the figure and the bank balance to afford it, I would just live in Kate Spade’s clothes! They are quirky, timeless classics. All her pieces are cut beautifully, are colourful and fun. As I said though, it’s not going to happen but I can still get the style via sewing! This skirt is super cute, and the a-line shape is great for so many shapes & sizes.

Embroidered Sunglasses | Honestly WTF
You guys know how I’m a little bit obsessed with cross stitch at the moment, so you wouldn’t be surprised to know how excited I was to see this DIY! It does require you to use a drill to make the holes but once that’s done you’re gold. Maybe practice on a cheap pair before your ‘good’ ones. Also make sure that whatever you design doesn’t cover your eyes!

MOTHER’S DAY GIFTS, DAY 2
Stenciled Scarf | Grosgrain
Can you believe this is hand printed?! It looks like something you’d pick up in a store, but no - this is made with fabric and one of Martha Stewart’s new stencils. That Martha, so stylish! Personally my mum loves scarves so I know she would love another one (especially one that I had made myself). Add a nice soap or a pair of earrings and you’ve got a truly special gift.

Embroidery Thread wrapped Earrings | Creature Comforts
I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna get my ears pierced. I keep finding these awesome earring DIYs that I know would be super easy to make and look adorable (especially those black and white ones, eep!) but can’t wear them. Though this could lead to a really bad spending binge on gorgeous earrings… that’s a price I’m willing to pay!
