It is smoldering out in Michigan...

I know I complain when it is cold and complain when is hot.... I just want it to be 80 and sunny!  But I really am appreciating my flip flips in this hot weather!  And speaking of flip flops my favorite to wear are the OluKai Paniolo, they are like butter on your feet and worth the money.

Love, Peace....Flip Flops what more do you need?

You can find the Love, Peace... Flip Flops necklace HERE.  It is one of my original designs and a favorite!

Spring has finally arrived...

It has been a long, cold winter in Michigan but Spring has finally arrived.  Will tuned his bike up with the Scouts and has mastered riding without training wheels.  Now all Will wants to do is ride his bike.  I can hardly wait for warmer weather and wearing flip flops!  What are you looking forward to? 

How To Make Pretty Poppy Flower Shoe Clips

I love flower embellished flip flops but most often they are on really uncomfortable flip flops. I decided to make my own that I could attach to any of my favorite shoes. They also look adorable on my ballet flats.

Wanna make some for yours? Here is how I made them:

Materials:
Faux Suede or Mole skin type fabric 1/2 a yard or less
scissors
lighter
pearl
shoe clips (I ordered mine on Etsy)hot glue gun
needle
thread
felt


Step one: Cut out 4 different sized circles for each flower, and allow for some shrinking so go a bit larger than you want your flower to be. The circles do not have to be perfectly round.

Step two: Singe the edges of each circle with your lighter. Practice on a scrap to get the hang of it. Be careful not to get the fabric too close to the flame.
Step three: Stack your circles on top of each other to form a flower and then attach all together w/ needle and thread and finish w/ a pearl in the center.
Step four: Cut a circle of felt and sew your shoe clip to the felt. Next hot glue the felt to the back side of the flower.
Step five: (optional) for extra security I hand stitched the felt to the back of the flower even though it was glued.

You can make these pretty flowers in all different sizes, I made a few for my purse and also some hair pins. So fun and so girly! A really easy project but a bit time consuming.

And below the Love, Peace, Flip Flops necklace a new piece in my shop, so fun and for the gal that knows that life really is a bit better in flip flops!

Hello Spring...

This is my weeping cherry tree and the blooms are brief but oh so beautiful!

Goodbye winter....

I will not miss shoveling snow, bulky jackets, high heating bills, ice or snow.

Hello spring....

Oh how I love my flip flops, spring buds and sunshine!

Beach hat and flip flops... somebody wants a vacation and he isn't alone!

I am a Midwest gal and the minute it is warm enough to wear flip flops, the toes get painted and my flip flops come out. I wear them until my toes turn purple from the cold.
