For the love of Accessories

Here are a few new finds of some cool accessories. It’s my first time trying the Gorilla glue – works well. I also like the simple and effective screw on and off top… it seals well after using. Now, off to craft!

Baby Booties on my hooks…

Working on these for a friend expecting her first baby, a boy! These stitch up quickly and can be embellished with ribbon or buttons. I’m looking for small football buttons to add…my friend is a huge football fan! Using ‘Shine’ cotton from Knit Picks – it’s very soft, has a nice subtle sheen and comes in a variety of
