Trinket #365 - Celebration Necklace

It's THE END! (Or is it only the beginning?)

I still can't believe that a whole year has passed since I started this strange journey. The things I've learned and the things I've improved upon are so plentiful that I think they're deserving of their own post. I can't really think of a better way to start off the new year.

Thanks to all of my friends and followers who have been so supportive throughout this project! A special thanks goes out to my family for putting up with my whining, complaining, staying up late, getting up early, and ever-growing stash of supplies that I've squirreled away in every nook and cranny of the house.

Yes, there will be another 365 Project for me next year. I've decided to nurture a different facet of my creativity, however, and will not be making daily crafts. Check out the unveiling tomorrow :D

Trinket #315 - Whole Mess O' Hairpins

Did I mention that my daughter convinced me that we needed to participate in a craft fair tomorrow? Did I also mention that I've been sick for two weeks? Today was a whole day of playing catch-up on jewelry stock and preparing display items for the table. I'm beat, but I have this pile of felt hairpins, about three dozen pairs of earrings, a handful of pendants, and lots of little handmade books to show for it.

Trinket #309 - Felt Hair Medallion

Today's trinket is a quick creation made from felt, hot glue, a lone button, and a hair pin. This is one of the color combinations that I never get tired of. It reminds me of the Oilily line of clothing from about ten years ago - still one of my favorites.

Trinket #165 - Johnny Jump-Up Ring

This little felt flower ring was made with leftovers from one of those Martha Stewart craft kits that I bought months ago for traveling. It's construction was made at least ten times easier by my substitution of hot glue for the included fabric glue. The weather has given me the gift of a killer sinus headache today, to a quick trinket was definitely in order.
