Birthday Presents For a Dear Friend!

Hello, and Happy Wednesday!

Can you believe that it's already Wednesday?

I am still in awe that the week is half over...however,  can I just tell you that it's been one tough half of a week around here.

I will spare you the details, and instead will tell you that my weekend was FABULOUS!

I had the best time with old Friends, and can't wait to see them all again.

One highlight from this weekend was being able to give my Friend Tracy her Birthday present in person!

Ok, I will admit that the present was a couple of weeks late, but giving it to her in person makes up for that... right?

Anyway, since I actually "made" her present I thought I would share it with all of you.

Oh, WARNING! The pictures are awful! I wish I had taken some this weekend...but as usual...I completely forgot.

*Sigh*

Anyway, since she is one of my favorite people I decided to make her a few of my favorite things. :o)

I started with some bracelets.

I used my Simple Valentine's Day Bracelet Tutorial to make the large bead bracelet, and ended up loving how it turned out...

...Except for the fact that the beads actually change color!

Ya...Something I wish I had known before I bought them, but I still ended up loving it. :o)

Oh, and do you remember these from this post.

Yep, once again I used this Amazing Pattern from Katy over at No Big Dill, and loved how it turned out!

I ended up changing the Pattern a little bit for more of a lace effect, and loved how it made the bracelet a little more delicate. :o)

Finally, to go with the bracelets I decided to make a cute Summery Cowl Scarf using this Amazing SHARF Tutorial from Delia over at Delia Creates.

I had a couple of sewing mishaps...and it actually ended up being a little shorter than I prefer, but it still think it turned out super cute.

Especially, when it's on my super cute Friend! :o)

Happy Birthday Tracy! I love Ya!

Oh, and a Happy Wednesday to you all!

I love you too! :o)
