Queen Bee Market Inspiration

I went to the Queen Bee Market on the first and LOVED it! I know the purpose of a market is for people to buy things. I didn't walk away with much.
Only this awesome picture by Stacey Winters.
I loved all of her stuff. But I had to buy this because it reminded me of Justin and me. I also love the title "Love Your Haircut". I brought it home, put it in a frame, wrapped it up and gave it to Justin for our Anniversary of getting engaged (we don't really celebrate the day, it just happened to be the same day). You can check out her etsy site HERE.

I also walked away with lots of inspiration for getting crafty. I walked around and thought, "And I want to make that, and I want to make that, and I have to make that." So I got every one's card, checked out their online shops and made a list of all the things I want to make. I used my own names for things, but here is the list. I wanted to add pictures but didn't feel comfortable using them without permission, so you will just have to link over to take a look. And if you are not feeling too crafty just buy it already made.

Security Blanket from MEG original

I also have a mental list of all the other thing I want to make. Maybe I should write that down too. But for now here is part of my never ending to do list.

My Crazy Heart (repost)

I made this heart two years ago for Valentine's Day. The only problem is I can't find it. I need to go dig around in my storage. Yuck! I posted it on my family blog (2 years ago) so go HERE to check out all the info on it. I said I didn't think I would do this kind of thing again but I am starting to warm up to the idea.

It is a la Martha.

Valentine Wreath

**I don't know why this picture is turning fuzzy. I keep reposting it. It looks great for a day or two and then gets fuzzy again. I don't know how to fix it for good.

Yesterday morning I saw this wreath on my friend Chelsea's crafty blog It's Good for the Heart.

I wanted to make one and I did in ONE DAY!!! I never finish projects in one day. I would like to thank both of my kids for taking 3 hour naps (that NEVER happens!), and a husband who doesn't mind if I craft during a movie.

I used the tutorial from The Idea Room.

She got the idea from Design*Sponge.

Who was inspired by this pillow.

And now you have seen it here. So now you go make one.
