Spring Fever

 

I dunno about you but my spring fever is

OUT OF CONTROL!

We get a nice day up in the 40's and 50's then boom we get this;

It's craziness I tell ya.

 


So I put together some washer art yesterday that made me feel like I had a "Spring" in my step.

I took one of these;

added some of this;

Then came up with this;

It's rather cute, I think. It could hang from your rearview mirror or in a window or around  your neck.

My neck view

My rearview Mirror (this was where it stayed btw)

Random window


Plus the nice thing about these is they are light.
The rubber washer is much easier to wear all day it doesn't weigh down your neck.





Here are a few others I made.

A smaller version of the one above.

This one is for a birthday party my son is going to today. 

 This one doesn't have a home yet.

Flashback Friday

Here is another edition.

Come and join us!

This is about as much Reid family you could get in one picture. (at that time)

Now days everyone of those "kids" has kids.

This was 1995 the year I graduated high school.

I'm on the left in the pink dress. Next to me is my step mom and next to her my Daddy.

I lost him the following year. That was a rough road to ride but this picture makes me smile.

Have a great day!!

Wear Blue Today!!

What is Dress in Blue Day?




The purpose of Dress in Blue Day is to promote awareness about colon cancer and encourage people to get their colon checked.




Why do we need to raise awareness of colon cancer?


Because:


•Colon cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.


•Approximately 150,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colon cancer each year.


•Colon cancer often has no symptoms at all until it's at an advanced stage.


•Colon cancer is 80% preventable when detected early.


•You can reduce your risk through regular screenings.


•Beginning at age 50 (or earlier if you have a family history), everyone should get their colon checked.


Learn how you can get involved and make a difference!

I went ahead and made this washer necklace to support the cause.

I would be happy to do a random drawing at the end of the week if there is enough comments and intrest in getting this as a prize.

Please support the cause and share this with those that matter to you!!

Have a great day and don't forget your blue!

Another Skirt to Purse Design

Ok I am finding way too many skirts that I want to make into purses.

I may just have to open an Etsy shop before i'm done!! LOL

Here I found a cute green skort.

Here is the belt that becomes the strap.

Need to cut off the crotch area and zip across with machine.

Then sew the strap on. It's really thick so you could hand sew or like me,

 I sew as far as I can and then add liquid stitch.

Finished product.

I'm a horrible model and I seriously need to find someone I can show these on well.

I will try to add better pictures soon.

There ya have it though simple enough!!



Mod Podge Shoes & epic fail.

Ok this has been on my to-do list since I saw it about a year ago here.
@

I love the idea and I have wanted to try it but just didn't have faith. Well I found me a pair of shoes on clearance and said "what the hay"  What will I really be out if I ruin them?

NA_DA!!

Ok so here is my fab fabric:

Look I live in

I love  

So this is like the perfect shoe!! LOL

Ok, so if I like these, I want to do a few hundred more because who can afford these?

I love them, but seriously? Last time I spent money like that on anything I wore.....UM NEVER!!

I used to get skechers shoes when I was in high school but still not MY money!

My budget squeeks like a field mouse! Plus I am cheap!!

So I followed the tutorial pretty close, it was up on my screen the whole time!!

This is my version of the shoes. Well one shoe, because I am so disappointed that I'm not even bothering with the second one!

The material didn't take well it's almost translucent in a way.

Plus the huge bubble which was smooth when I did it.

It's not smooth at all. It has a paten leather feel.

Yes the modpodge is still wet. I was touching up a place.

(why I bothered I'm not sure! LOL)

Looks lame to me.

Gotta love the blob that formed and yes that is dry.

So for me this was a crafting fail. I love the idea and I am sure hundreds of people make them and they are FAB! So I encourage anyone to still try this for sure I thnk they turn out way cute when SOMEONE ELSE does it!! LOL I think I don't have the patience to wait and do it like it's supossed to be. I made a mess beyond reason and I made it look like POO! So now ya'll can let me know who has an etsy shop with these in them so I can go buy a pair!!!! LOL

  

Have a great day Ay!

Oh I have me a new button!!!! Snag it over on the right!!
