Introducing Jessica from My World Made By Hand!

Howdy howdy…I’m so happy to be taking over Modern Wivelyhood today {thanks to Mrs H and Mrs J for the opportunity}.

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

You may remember me from a few of Mrs H and Mrs J’s favorite tutorials…they really liked my inexpensive and easy DIY bulky wooden candlesticks and apothecary jars…

But enough about how much THEY love me…teehee…let’s talk about why YOU should love me…

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!!!

And then with the leftover pieces you can make some fUnKy PuNkY bracelets???

{Tutorial for these will be up in the next few days.}

 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…

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

Hope y’all like what you see and decide to stop on over at My World and see what other goodies are hiding over there…{hint…there is a giveaway going right now ~ you should enter}!!!
