Rosie.

January 24, 2023

It’s taken me years to write about this. A near and dear story that gets me choked up almost every time I share – and I don’t share it that often. A person or a sewing machine? How about both. Rosie.

Rosie.

Trust, nurture, sew….repeat
Our neighborhood is a full of houses, kids, empty-nesters, and retired farmers. Rosie, a kind woman with turquoise doors, lived at the top of the hill. Often, on my way home, I’d see her walking out to grab her mail and I’d wave each time I drove by and she would graciously return the gesture. Every once in a while I would casually pull my car over to say hello at her mailbox because that’s what neighbors do, right?

August 16, 2022

Fabric Scrap Recycled Earrings are available now! With too many fabric scraps – what’s a creative gal to do?! Make art! First of all, these are adorable, wearable and giftable.

From fringy dangly leather, to sweet embroidered floral accents, these new wearable art pieces are unique – just like you. Get back to school ready and wear your style confidently.

SHOP ALL EARRINGS

With many options to choose from you might have a hard time deciding, seriously. Handmade earrings are available for a limited time!

FABRIC SCRAPS RECYCLED EARRINGS

Earrings not your thing? That’s cool, I have many other handmade items in store for you. Perhaps a velvet handmade to relax in is your thing! Read about the new velvet handmade headbands here. Or skip the headbands and shop all handmade goodies here!

Why recycled earrings?
From loving creativity and unique style, the earrings I usually wear were not the cute factor that I wanted anymore. As a result I got the creative juices flowing using my fabric hat and bag scraps and made art! I really enjoy the fine, detailed motor skills I use when making these because it’s soothing, satisfying and just couldn’t keep to myself. Don’t get me wrong, I still LOVE making hats; however, sometimes creative inspiration comes when I don’t expect it and I must act on it!

handmade earrings

In conclusion, these handmade earrings are so adorable, they’re happy art that you can wear!

Bound to be…creative!

Protect Your Face from Sun

protect your face from the sun

Summer is in full swing here at Bound to be Creative® and I wanted to share some easy breezy tips on how to protect your face from the sun.
