Red?

I’m not normally fond of red when it comes to my wardrobe.  Cranberry red, yes.  Ronald McDonald hair red, no.  But this Sunday, my church is having a very special event that involves everyone wearing red t-shirts to show unity.  So I have to oblige. I forgot to take a before photo of this shirt, but you aren’t missing much.  I got it for less than a quarter at a small thrift store and it was...

Up to Sixteen

Finished writing up my new project list, and I am almost finished with the first project already.  Always good to get a jump on these things.  Wouldn’t want what happened with the last list, I still can’t believe it took an extra month to finish that one.  Not happening this time.  Here it is: Craft Project List #16 Red shirt Red skirt Hair bows Clock Yellow shirt Headband...

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Spring is here, which always make me think of how important it is to live environmentally friendly, at least as much as we can.  One of the easiest and fun ways to do this is to reuse and recycle throwaway items into things we can really use and enjoy.  Here are a few tutorials I found that help with that. Cardboard Cuff bracelets – These were a real surprise for me, jewelry made from corrugated cardboard.  Despite all my work with the stuff I had never thought to make accessories. ...

It Finally Came

Remember that grab bag I won from that giveaway at Organize and Decorate Everything (see I Won!!), it finally arrived.  Well, technically it arrived yesterday, but they delivered it to the apartment office.  I went over in the rain to get it, and they were closed already.   I decided to go for a walk in the rain instead to check out my new neighborhood.  I would have taken pictures but I forgot...

All Done, Finally!

I got my craft supplies unpacked (mostly) and finally finished my list.  I still feel bad that it took like a month longer to finish than I planned.  But at least it’s done. First up, I thought I had been neglecting Midnight craft-wise.  It had been a while since I made anything for her.  So I made this simple sundress for her.  I would have got a picture of her in it but for some reason the...

I Won!!

I got a little behind on reading my blog feeds again.  So when catching up this morning I was surprised to find that I won a random drawing on Organize and Decorate Everything.   I started shrieking, then ran down the hall with my computer in hand to tell my family, then started dancing for joy.  I can’t wait for it to get here so I can see everything, there’s a picture of it here and a list but there’s...

Moving Update

When are you officially “moved in”, when you moved everything to your new location or when everything is actually unpacked?  Right now I am living amongst several boxes of seemingly random stuff.  There are boxes in my room that are supposed to be in the kitchen, boxes in the dining room that are supposed to be in the bathroom, etc.  I can’t do any sewing because my sewing machine is on the dining room table and the cord is in a box that is who knows where.  Plus all my craft supplies...
