Cluster Stone Chip Woven Bracelet Tutorial at www.happyhourprojects.com

So I'm really excited to share today's project with you, because it's a blend of everything I love to make.  It's a woven bracelet tutorial that's tool-free (aside from scissors and glue).  It's got stone chip beads.  And it looks SO much more fussy than it really is.  If you can braid and string ...

Smash Cake Canvas & Easy Canvas Prints Giveaway

Cake Smash Photo Canvas at www.happyhourprojects.com

So as you guys know, I enjoy taking photos, I work hard on them, and I also have plenty of room for improvement.  I'm in that in-between stage of photography.

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!
