Making knots {on purpose}

Not sure about you but on rainy and grey days I want nothing more then to create things with my hands and these nautical bracelets from Rent the runway are the perfect amount of easy and colorful, not to mention a great accessory to add to my summer accessories. I've always been a fan of knotting and it doesn't get any simpler then this...though I'll admit, I don't actually know how to knot anything {on purpose that is}. These simple beauties reminded me of the jersey bracelets I just had to make last year but never actually got around to it, perhaps if I start now I will have a decent collection by summer.

DIY fabric bracelets

Moving is finally almost over!  We are still waiting to get our internet hook up, thankfully someone near me has wireless otherwise I would have gone crazy, just a day and a half in and I was already over 30 emails.  In the mean time I've been slowly unpacking and trying to figure out where everything is going to go.

One spot I need to get back up and running asap is my crafting space because these seemingly simple jersey knit bracelets from V and Co. are the perfect little accessory for summer.  I have teeny tiny wrists, so a DIY is perfect!  Do you have any projects lined up?  I've started an entire bookmark just for things I just have to try and its starting to get out of control.  But these babies, there are moving to the top.  You can see the entire DIY tutorial over at V and Co.

Support Yellow Pajama's support Japan

Over the weekend, I stumbled across Yellow Pajama's post dedicated to helping Japan, and just had to share.  Naomi, the mastermind behind yellow pajamas has put together a few items to help out those who were hit by the unimaginable devastation in Japan.  100% of the proceeds will be donated to help, so if you can, why not show your support.  You can purchase these handmade bracelets for $5 a piece or 3 for $12, or you can get a pair of earrings too!  Every little bit helps!  And thanks to Yellow Pajama's for caring so darn much.
