Grown Up Friendship Bracelets

SO loving the 90s throwback look.


I've been trying my hand at making friendship bracelets, too!
I've been using this tutorial, but haven't had much success yet.


I also think I'm going to give this a try!

I'll let you know how it goes.

Having a DIY Moment Over Here

Over the weekend Shug and I had the opportunity to hang out with his two little sisters, 13 and 9.  They are as bright and lovely as can be, but also very, very, very bored with everything about five minutes after we arrive/make a plan/choose an activity.

To combat this killer boredom, I bought a pom pom maker so the girls could make holiday wreaths to bring home to Shug's and their mom.  It was the BEST IDEA EVER.  We made pom poms for ten hours straight, only breaking for hot chocolate and the parts of Labyrinth where David Bowie dances in his tights.

I now have pom pom plans, people. PLANS!

Craft Lake City 2010

Saturday was a busy day here in Salt Lake City!  Not only was the Downtown Farmer's Market in full swing (tomatoes are finally here!), but the Second Annual Craft Lake City took place down at the Gallivan Center.  The handmade movement has "officially" made it to Salt Lake City and it is going strong!

From letterpress and screenprint innovators, like Ryan Perkins, Whitney Shaw, Colt Bowden, and Amber Heaton to unique jewelry and clothing artists, like my favorites Nobletown Vintage and theFullSpectrum, the craft fair had everything your little-handmade-lovin'-heart could desire.

If you missed CLC, don't worry, many of these artist make their genius available online and can be linked from the SLUG homepage!  Make sure you mark you calendars next year for the fun!
