Make an awesome necklace out of it! I knew that I wanted to do this project the instant I saw it pop up on my blog roll, courtesy of Melissa at I Still Love You. How cool! A necklace made out of old t-shirts! So, initially, I thought I would swing by Goodwill to pick up some old t-shirts. I'm a purger by nature and I don't have a backlog of old shirts to cut up. But then it hit me. ...
I've been MIA, but not because of the movie premiere. {Which, by the way, was really good! The back of my head gave an amazing performance.} There has been illness, major changes at work, house errands. I've been so busy! First order of business... the scarf that I promised last week goes to {by random drawing}... Miss Dixie of Dixie DIY! Congrats! I'm sorry it took me so long to make ...
In December of last year, I had the unique experience of serving as an extra in a zombie-flick, called "Followed." It's not your stereo-typical zombie movie. These zombies aren't crazy flesh-eaters. They are actually victims of social injustice. Take a moment to read the short story here. It's only 7 pages long, but it has a loud message. It will give you chills! So... I get to see the ...
I finished my wreath!! I didn't start with any clear concept - just a skein of yarn that I loved. Here's the result. I wrapped styrofoam balls with yarn to create the balloons and used fabric scraps for the polka dots and tiny pennants. Will you be proud when I tell you that I cut the letters with my Silhouette? Yep! I overcame my fear of the machine and had great success with this attempt. Did ...
I feel like I'm snowed under - by my own doing. Look at what I bought this week. Big sale. Big inspiration. And here's a mountain of fabric that I ordered because it was such a steal. Scarf anyone? No, really. I'd like to make one for you. And then there's the wreath that I have waiting on me in the corner. I bought this cheery yarn for it this week, as well as, the fabric and accompanying ...
What a lovely day!! Before I share my completed dress, let me share a few peeks at my Mother's Day gifts. Dylan's card... And necklaces... And... **squeal** So, it's a good thing that I finished up my dress because I have a busy, creative week ahead! I'm so pleased with how this dress turned out. I will actually wear it in public! Here's my finished product {vogue pattern # 1174, ...
It's that time of year. Time to pull out the shorts and sundresses and say "Hello! Whoa! Get some sun on those legs!" Unfortunately, I don't tan. But, I've come to accept it and now embrace summer fashion, overlooking passers-by who have to pull out their sunglasses to avoid the glare. I've been following two very talented ladies, who regularly blog about their adventures in fashion sewing: ...
