Just Because Package

My best rabbit friend, Rachel, just got her package so I am able to post this. She squealed and sang so I think I did good with her package this time. :) Since I like her pics better, I am just going to link you to her post on the contents of the package. :) I am going to highlight some of her goodies for ya. 

This cute My Melody note pad has one of those changing pictures on the front. I think it's so adorable. :P

And here is a Happy New Years pop up card. :) It is actually from Sanrio I do believe. :)

And Lastly, I just wanted to post some pics of my beading that I sent to her. She is going to have a booth at MobiCon this year in May with her friend. So, if you are in Mobile, Alabama, stop by and see these beauties in person. :)

Have a nice Mardi Gras weekend everyone! Stay safe.

Bowaroma

I made this purple bow ring and thought it would be a cute cell phone charm. I decided pink would be really cute too. Here is the finished product. :)

Hmm...what other colors should I make these in?

Happy Hump Day!

Congrats to the Newlyweds!!!

Congrats to my good friends!!! They finally got married!!!
Sadly I couldn't be there to celebrate with them since it was in the Philippines.
So, I sent my happy wishes and love with this necklace. :)
She wore a red and black sexy dress so I made this to match.

3D beaded Heart in Light Siam

I searched through my stash of Swarovski Crystal hearts but didn't have a red (Light Siam) one in the right size so I made this one using 3mm Swarovski bicones so it was smaller.

Heart made into a pendant

In order to put focus on the pendant and heart, I added more beads in the center and had a different, more simple design on the sides. 

I have these heart clasps that I thought would be cute. I had a heart lock and key charms so I thought it would be cute to put it on the necklace too since they unlocked each other's hearts. :)

The finished necklace.

I made a ribbon flower with a Poinsettia center. I added the yellow ribbon because she likes red and yellow, also because I thought it looked cute. It was perfect to have the red poka dot wrapping paper and yellow ribbon. :) A little cute whimsy that is so her. :)

I made the flower into a hair clip and just clipped it onto the present in lieu of a bow. It think it's a cute way to give another present on the present. :)

I made this in early December but had to wait till all the paperwork goes through and they actually get married before posting these as to not ruin the surprise. :)

Congrats guy!! I am so happy for you! May this new life together be filled with lots of love, happiness, laughter, and little mini-yous! :) Miss you guys!

Presents for a Beautiful Thailand Princess

My friend went to visit his fiance in the Philippines. So, I made him bring some presents for her from me. :) He is her Xmas present. hehe Sorry, but this will be a long post.

This is the bag that everything fit in. It is about the size of a piece of paper and 2 inches thick. It took almost 1/2 of his suitcase. Luckily, he is a guy and so didn't need to bring too much clothes with him and he is a super packer from years of experience in the Army. hehe The bag is from the dollar section of Michael's but is a very sturdy and cute little tote. I am sure she will find other uses for it. :)

She loves chocolates and her favorite brand is Ritter Sport. We have it here in Target so I got her some of those. Since she likes whole hazelnuts, I thought she would like to try Ferrero Rocher if she has not tried it before. The bear was just way too cute. :) It is made my Lindt. I love their chocolates with the smooth centers but I like the square ones not the round ones. Sadly, they stopped selling the square ones. These Belgian Chocolate thins are yummy. They have a little crunch to them and are thin enough so that you can eat 1-3 and it will satisfy a craving well enough. :)

On her Xmas list, she asked for creme eyeshadow. I did not know how hard it was to find and get over here. I mainly found creme eye liner but these were nice so I got some for her. I think Clinique had some eyeshadow creme pens but they were hard for me to use. I hope these work well for her. :)

These little bundles contain some cute hair clips. :) They needed to be wrapped simply so that they can fit into the tote bag or else I could not get everything in there. :)

Rose hair clips I crochet for her. Red, because it's one of her fav colors and blue because her working uniform is blue. Can you see the sparkilies? :)

Ribbon hair clip in her favorite colors, red and yellow. :)

The backs of the hair clips.

Queen Anne Lace Scarf finished!

And here is how I wrapped it. :)

Made a tube out of card stock. I was going to put it into an empty food container but I think it would make it harder to get it though the metal detectors in the airport.

I made rosettes from the wrapping paper I used to wrap the cylinder. These will close off the cylinder at both ends.

Then I accordion folded the scarf into the cylinder.

I added the rosette to the other end and tied it together with curling ribbon.

And that's it. It's a little hard to work with but it is really cute. I think of it as anther version of the Christmas cracker. The ends are a bit different because I had to fit it into the tote. :)

Here are the last two gifts I made for her and put into the package. :)

Pink Side

3D beaded Cross Bookmark.

Red Side

Yep, it is double sided.:) I think you can see the lobster claw clasp. That will allow her to take the cross off the bookmark and use it as a pendant for a necklace.

Lastly, I made this bell bracelet. It was a last minute bout of inspiration. :) I had to figure out how to put bells onto a bracelet but I didn't want to do the old charm bracelet method or stringing them on because that would take too many. So, I wove a simple base and added the bells as adornments. I was going to use a blue base because that is the 3rd color in the triangle on the color wheel but I wasn't feeling it.

I added the cluster of bells in the center because I miss counted the spaces. hehe but I like it! Some times covering up a mistake makes it more special. :)

I hope my friends are having a great Xmas together! I miss them both and hope someday we can all celebrate the holiday together in person. :)

I hope all of you are having a great December filled with friends and family, lots of laughter and love, and plenty of crafting! :)

Note: I made and wrapped all of these in the first week of December but I have to wait till after she opens up her gifts to post this. :)

A Bunny Christmas

Happy Christmas!! 

Here is the start of my posting the packages I sent to friends who are not close.

This one is to my friend, Rachel, who has been a constant source of friendship, love, and support throughout all these almost 18 years.

Stuffed Moose

Here is everything I stuffed in this Moose. It can hold a lot. There are two spiral notebooks, one Japanese Hello Kitty and the other My Melody bunny. There is a little angel ornament cross stitch kit. I found these cute buttons in sewing designs. My mom brought back some cute bracelets from her visit to Taiwan, the turquoise one was cute so I thought she might like it. The mini bottles are chocolate bottles filled with liquor in them. :) And then there's the silver bag...

 I made a ribbon flower brooch that I thought would be pretty against a black or silver sweater. :) It could also be pinned to a tote bag to make it more festive. :) 

A book for Fairy Tales retold for a Fairy Tale lover. It is not antique sadly but I read some of them and they are pretty interesting. I just hope she doesn't have it already in her vast book collection. :P

I got one of the authors that contributed to the collection to sign in personally to my friend. :)

It was at Comic Con. Pat Briggs Rules! :)

I found some other cute stuff at Comic Con too.

Fat Rabbit Farm!!!

Cute T-shirt with a bunny surrounded by sweets!

Cute Tote bag front

Cute Tote bag back

 The tote bag was from a different booth. I thought the little bunnies were so cute.

I had to add something Swarovski Crystals and made by me so I adorned this felt cup cozy with a pretty little beaded crystal flower. It was a last minute add to the Moose. Dang that Moose can hold a lot. :) 

I don't know if you can tell but the center crystals are 4mm Alexandrite Swarvoski bicones that change color in different light. It turns from a light purple to a light blue when you move it btw fluorescent and incandescent light. The color change is really hard to take pictures of but it is very cool in person.

I hope you love everything little bunny!! Miss you!

She also posted this package :)
