http://www.thatssomichelle.com/2011/02/fancy-watermelon-jello-shooters.html I made these for our New Years Eve Party (with left over oranges and cherry jello we had in the pantry) and they were a huge hit. Who doesn't love jello shots? Brings me right back to college. Unfortunately dixie cups don't exactly look elegant alongside fancy cheese plates and party napkins.

Pencil skirt from scratch, baby!

http://www.missomnimedia.com/2011/02/shes-crafty-feather-hair-extensions/ I almost freaked out when my 10-year-old girl asked me if she could get red highlights. “But the other girls have it,” she pleaded. Honey, I’m sorry, but if I’m not getting highlights, then you sure ain’t either!

Friends are Flowers you pick for yourself, and I’m lucky to say that I’m blessed with the worlds most amazing bouquet of besties! Actions speak louder than words, so don’t just tell your friends how much they mean to you, show them! My friends at WHO WHAT WEAR and I agree that the demand for colorful and cool friendship bracelets using the COBRA stitch are back in a major way! I’ve been drawn to MARNI’S take on the friendship bangle creation for quite some time. Get inspired and get involved. http://psimadethis.com/post/5188972912/friends-are-flowers-you-pick-for-yourself-and-im

How to Make a Dollhouse Out of Drawers

http://neonfresh.com/dollhouse I wanted a beat-up nightstand. Not for traditional nightstand use, which, in my case, would mean holding an absurd amount of water glasses. I need water every night, but refuse to be a responsible adult and deliver my glass to the kitchen sink every morning. I needed it for another project (which I will reveal to you soon, I hope). But, I didn’t need the drawers.

T-shirt Transfer Jeans

I used to love t-shirt transfers when I was younger, but eventually got fed up at how the image would (inevitably) crack and crease over time. But! A few weeks ago, I thought - if you can't change the fact that it's going to crack...why not just run with it? And who says they can only be used on t-shirts?
One step up from my pencil case tutorial , this large zippered toiletries bag would make a great gift for Mother’s Day. Folds up real small and nice, stick it in the mail with a new shade of lipstick inside or a favorite scent. Easy Peasy. Promise. http://sayyestohoboken.com/2011/04/diy-zippered-toiletries-travel-bag.html

http://www.studs-and-pearls.com/2011/04/diy-recycled-plastic-triangle-earrings.html Happy Earth Day! In honor of today, this project is a straight up recycling DIY. This project uses recycled plastic that would have otherwise gone in the trash. It may not be the most sturdy material, but I personally think it's better than having it sit in the junkyard.

Lower Stomach Beauty Trainer

Like the best kinds of things, the Lower Stomach Beauty Trainer is simple but effective. Slide you feet and legs into the holes and then twist your body from side to side. As the Trainer cushion rolls one way and then the next, your waist and stomach work hard to slim down.

CLUTCH; adjective. “Exactly what you need, exactly when you need it”- according to the Urban Dictionary. As fate would have it, I think we all want and need a new clutch at this very moment as we start to prep for our Spring/Summer weddings, and festive parties.
*EDITED 2/9/11 with reader suggestions!* So, I made this sweatshirt (slash cardigan slash blazer?) kind of on a whim. Didn't plan it up, improvised and made it up as I went along.

Spike Ring

By now, I think it's pretty obvious I have a soft spot for statement jewelry. This ring creates the illusion of a spike going through your finger, although the ring is SO lightweight you probably won't even feel it. EDIT: Everyone keeps asking where I got the spikes.
