What I Have Been Making And Wearing (Crochet Heart and Pearl Ring)

A while back I placed an order at My Crochet Shop. When my order arrived there was a cute little crocheted heart used in the wrapping.  I held onto the heart because I knew I could use it for something.  I ended up turning it into a sweet ring that would be perfect for an affordable Valentine's Day gift.  The owner of My Crochet Shop on Etsy also has a wonderful blog.  If you would like to make yourself an interchangeable heart ring, first check out her crochet heart pattern here.  

These would  make great favors at a girly Valentine party since you could use them as the napkin holders.

Here is what you need for an Interchangeable Heart ring:

Rose Ring & Shoe Clip Tutorial Plus What I Have Been Wearing



Felt roses, I have seen so many tutorials for them, and I figured I would finally make some myself. 

I found myself very inspired after seeing Inspiration By D's Felt Flower Tutorial.

You all know my addiction to jewelry making, so of course I had to use my felt roses for fashion.  I ended up making a felt rose ring and matching shoe clips.  I think they will be perfect for a hot Valentine's Day date (not that I will be going on one).  We desperately need a babysitter, but that's an entirely different topic, so lets get back to this tutorial.

I Got Banged In The New Year!

Get your minds out of the gutters cochinas (dirty girls ;) I am referring to my new bangs!  Yes your Bacon Time momma went and cut her own hair again.  This time I am having flash backs to the 80s but in a good way, at least I think so, and I hope you will agree.  At least this time around the bangs are soft, and not sticking straight up with the power of Aqua Net!

Transitioning Into Fall Fashion What I Have Been Wearing

This last week I was able to start wearing a few items from my Fall side of the closet.  It's still warm during the daytime but cool in the morning, so I still need  some of my summer wardrobe. I am very proud of how many times I found myself out of my robe, even by a decent hour.  Looks like joining those three fun fashion linkies (see buttons below) has really helped motivate me.

The Boobie Dress I Hate and Never Wore Until Today For the WIWW Challenge!



Please ignore the missing baseboards, (as I am trying to do lol) we installed hard wood floors and have yet to find time to put new ones up.



Last week was my first time linking up at the "What I Wore Wednesday" linky.  We were given a challenge by the host Lindsey for this week to wear something from our closet we never do.  Well I immediately thought of this dress I ordered from a Victoria Secrets catalog over a year ago and have never worn.  The infamous "boobie dress" my husband loves and I hate.
