Crystal SLiding Knot Bracelet, Shoe Clip Upcycle and More Snow!

It has snowed all night and all morning. Kids were taken to school because no announcement of school closure was made but now, the school is closing. At least an hour and a half later than the high school ones.

Our street looks scary to drive on.

But I hear the main roads are okay so you guys driving out there, be careful!

Brynn went out to pick the children up bringing a shovel with him.

And yes that's our backyard.

So while I watch the flurries fall, I made this Crystal Sliding Knot. It literally took less than 5 minutes. You can find a Sliding Knot Tutorial from here. It's full of pictures to help you make it out.

I just used a simple crystal bead with loops on both ends. 

I think I left the end bits to long so when it was time to burn it off to keep it from fraying, it turned out like that! Oh well, I think for a first time, I can't be too hard on myself ;-)

And because the bracelet didn't take that long, I thought I'd fix the embellished bow that used to be attached to my shoes but has decided to fall off.

To fix it, I stitched a pair of shoe clips at the back of the bow.

I can then use it to embellish another shoe if and when I want to!

Yey!

It was originally placed on the middle of the toes but for a change, you can put it on the side or even near the heel part.

I like reusing stuff specially ones that are as cute as these. Thinking back, they were the reason I bought the shoes. They are very pretty.

What are you doing today?

Take care and keep warm!
