The Bohemian Cherry is now OPEN!

I have been working furiously to get all the photos and listings done in my etsy shop. I finally decided to do it after all the feed back I was receiving through social media. I put together a small collection of items (there are more, but it's a process).





This has to be on of my favorites. It was a favorite maxi dress at some point. It was sheer and flowing. But I slowly I wore down the straps. I didnt want to part with it so I stashed it away with my sewing for a later date. Now it has been reborn in to something that can be worn in all seasons!




My collection reflects a Boho influence, and lots of up cycling! The hardest part is putting it for sale, because I love it all! Even the skirts I hoarded... and they were not even my size!


I did that with many summer dresses and maxi's. I gave life to some boring light weight skirts. Now with denim and add a pair of color tights you have a new fall skirt!

Add some tights, and boots now a all season skirt!

This denim number is the ultimate winter skirt. At ankle length its long enough and just short enough to show off some awesome boots. for this I used two pair of denim and added denim to the front and the back to create a very full skirt. These are really easy wearing.

If you saw in the pictures there are a couple of necklaces. These are just the cutest things. 

To compliment the Boho style I went with a mixed media look. I also recycle lots of old fabric.

Yellow 4-strand.

Boho Bib.

Boho Elephant

These are just some favorites. I still have a lot of work to do.

 Please come by The Bohemian Cherry soon!

One hour Antro Hack, that turned into something better.

This little ditty is about trying something new. Challenging my craft skills, and getting inspired. About taking that moment and giving it a good try!

 I saw this pin from Anthro. I was like Ugh!  It's just not that cute, too pink ,so overpriced, so mass produced. Not for me my friends. So I was all like, "I can make that." (I know, how random I didn't even like it!) Well maybe, I have never done a jewelry challenge.

 I didn't have everything on hand. And I was not going to buy things for an Anthro 'Inspired' moment. So I dug deep into my pile of crap.( I keep lots of jewelry for their recycling purposes). And I started to pull stuff apart.

Heres what I started with. Didn't have the same, but that doesn't matter, it's an 'inspired' moment.

I ended up going more BoHo with this. Something I would wear!  I was digging around looking for some sort of chord. I found some scraps from my Mens Tee refashion. So cut the strips and braided them. 

There's nothing like an Anthro Hack challenge and beer to create something that you like.  

Go through your old jewelry, break it up. You do not have to be a jewelry maker. 

Just MaCgyver your way through.

OK, now I am warmed up, I can't wait to try this again. 

I have ideas of things to add to this, and I like the t-shirt element.

 Do you do mini challenges to get good at something?

Or, are you just a Rock Star already?
