My World Made By Hand

Hello all…I’m super excited to be here at This Blessed Nest today {thanks to Kellie for letting me take over her blog for the day}. I’ve loved This Blessed Nest for some time now…it just makes my day to be able to be a part of it.

So…this is me… I’m Jessica from My World Made By Hand

I started blogging in January of this year {2011} as a way to motivate myself to actually do the stuff I love to do…CREATE! You see, I am a working mother of four {3 boys and 1 girl} and my husband {the love of my life} is an OTR {over the road} trucker ~ meaning he is NEVER home! As you can probably guess, I don’t have much free time {nor do I have a lot of extra money}. I’m also an attention hoarder {yes, I’m admitting to it on the world wide web}…so blogging is perfect for me ~ I get to create ‘shtuff’ and get attention for doing it…PERFECT {plus, I do so LOVE seeing what all of the other talented ladies out there are making…such an inspiration}. My crafts are easy, inexpensive, usually fairly quick, and fun…

Did you that you could turn that old raggedy t-shirt from your hubby’s closet {or a new $3 T from the craft store} into these:

And you don’t even need a sewing machine!!! Hallelujah!!!

Or that you could turn duct tape into these:

And the best part of the the duct tape crafts ~ your kids want to create them with you! I can’t think of a better way to craft…

What about taking small, inexpensive items and turning them into items that would have cost you BIG BUCKS at a home decor shop?

Or taking an old, beat up {or as I like to call it…vintage} window frame and turning it into a cool, chic memo board?

And then there’s my absolute fave…the one that everyone always wants as a prize or a gift. Pendants from paper and washers…
