When inspiration strikes

One of the things I always find myself doing weekly is a little something creative that's just for me. Inspiration strikes all the time and I'll admit there are some ideas that I get juuuust a little obsessed with. I had come across this necklace and immediately fell in love but that $38 price tag? Not for the DIY Craftaholic, no Sir!  This week was a biggie I not only dusted off the sewing machine but made 3 new necklaces.

Inspired? These Gals have a great tutorial!

aaaand.... a couple of clutches too.
