(wedding) cardigan DIY.

what up kids.  i'm showing you a quick DIY i used for my wedding attire.  since my dress was strapless, i thought i'd be more comfortable if i wore a cute little cardi after the ceremony was over (in the end, i ended up taking it off because it was hot and i didn't care who saw my flabby arms.  i was married then; everyone important was already locked in ;).).  i knew i wanted to bedazzle said cardigan and so needle felting became the bedazzle avenue of choice.

here's how it all went down...

i got all of my supplies, sans cardigan, at hobby lobby.

(at first i got cream-colored roving and was going to poke it into my "molds" like i saw on pinterest

 instead of using them to cut out my shapes.

after i played around with that method, it seemed that cutting them would be easiest.)

once you have your shapes cut, place them where you want on your fabric, put the stabilizing block underneath, and start poking.

and poking.  and poking.  and poking.

once all edges and the middle are secure, you're done!

i put hearts near my shoulders on the front and a little cluster on my shoulder in the back.

i love this DIY because i'm still wearing that cardigan and it's pretty cute even with my everyday clothes ;).

remember how i was feeling all blah and unproductive last weekend?  i get into this super funk-slump and feel something like this...

turns out a good way to get out of that is to take a shower, get dressed, put on a lil makeup and go to work with some of your favorite people.  also, drink an iced latte in a quart jar.  full.  to the top.

life is so much better after a shower and an iced latte.  mhm.

i LOVE outfit posts so i decided to start doing my own.  a while ago i posted about wanting to revamp my wardrobe and since that, i've done a lot of changing it up so i want to document it with you guys!

today was a chill day.  lee went to the doctor and i tagged along, then we chatted it up with my grandparents/our neighbors, got the best subs around for lunch, and took a nap.  good, good day, i say.

p.s. it's my baby niece's birthday today!  i can't believe she's THREE!  happy birthday raina mae!
