I heart you, blazer.

Blazer - thrifted Junior Forecast (I can't for the life of me find out anything about this vintage brand! Anyone?)
Pin - gift/DIY
T-shirt - Target
Jeans - Earnest Sewn
Shoes - Zigi Soho

The pin:


I have a ton of these Perler Bead... um, things? laying around. I used to run an after-school and summer program for special needs teenagers and we made these a lot! They're fun, they're cheap, and they are good for practicing fine motor skills! Ha ha! I am tricky! Your physical therapy is built right into our craft project! I decided to turn this one into a pin but wanted it to look less like Perler Beads so I busted out some embroidery floss! I love how it turned out and I'm excited to try it with different shapes (I have squares and circles and hexagons and stars too!) and trying different stitching techniques or with thicker yarn! So all you moms out there go grab your Perler Bead things off the fridge, take the magnet off and get to stitching! Or just go buy a big ol' cheap tub of Perler Beads from the craft store and do it all yourself! Wahoo!
