Patricia Infinity Cowl: Black, White, and Red All Over



The other day I found a lovely infinity scarf tutorial from luvinthemommyhood. Now that Fall is right around the corner, I figured this would be a great piece to add to my wardrobe to keep warm in the cool, breezy months ahead.

The Patricia Infinity Cowl is made up of six fat quarters, so I raided my stash and picked out several color-coordinating fabrics. I decided to go with a red, white, and black color scheme.

TIP: If you have more than six fat quarters to choose from like I do, be sure to choose a balanced mix of large and small prints. The variety will add interest to the scarf once it's finished.



 About 30 minutes later....Ta-da!

Because I used six different fat quarters, the scarf looks different every time I put it on.  It's such a fun scarf, I'll definitely be making a lot more. Until then, hope you like!

Not only is it loads of fun, but it's a great opportunity to connect with amazingly talented artists, designers, and illustrators. See doodle cards from previous rounds here.

Stud Earring Organizer

Recently I constructed my own jewelry case (details in a future post) so that I could organize all my earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. All my jewelry was in such disarray that it covered half my dresser, and many of the pieces I never even wore. It was time to get organized.

After I finished the case and organized my necklaces neatly inside, I realized I needed a way to display all my stud earrings. The solution: plastic canvas.

A while ago on Pinterest I came across this fancy stud earring organizer. I loved the idea of using plastic canvas, so I kept it simple and bought a single 5.5" circle.

All of my stud earrings fit nicely, and I can actually see them all! No more sifting through a jumbled pile to find the perfect pair to wear for the day. I hooked the canvas right below my charm bracelets, so I can easily grab a pair and go. Look at me, all organized.
