I hope you're not getting tired of jewelry made with leather, because I've really been enjoying all the things I have discovered I can do with it.  You know what that means, don't you?  I'm dying to show you something new!  I figured out how to emboss leather with a pattern using regular paper ...

Casual Entertaining: Easy Spinach Dip

Easy Spinach Dip and Casual Entertaining Tips at www.happyhourprojects.com

This post is sponsored by Kellogg's. I have a love/hate relationship with entertaining.  I love seeing friends.  I love opening up our home.  I love connecting, laughing, reminiscing, and catching up.  But I am a little bit hopeless at party decor, and I don't love spending hours in the kitchen ...

Embossed Tree Wire Wrapped Bangle at www.happyhourprojects.com

So a lot of you really seemed to like last week's video tutorial where I shared how to make wire wrapped beaded bangles.  Well, the style allows for so much versatility that today I added an embossed copper blank to the mix, and made up an earthy copper design.  You don't have to know how to stamp ...

DIY Layered Leather Beaded Watch

02/23/2015

DIY Layered Leather Beaded Watch at www.happyhourprojects.com

Okay, show of hands: who still wears a watch?  I guess I am old school, because my smartphone hasn't replaced my watch just yet.  Typically, it's not one of my favorite things to put on, though, because I am a bracelet-a-holic (a fact that's evident, if you read here often).  So I thought if I made ...

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
