I am a seamstress and crafter, at the moment I am spending time making things for my grandchildren.
TRAVEL LIGHT DURING THE WINTER. It can be done, I promise!
I'll briefly touch on some of the original tips here, but if you've been here a while, you can skip through below to see the outfits. The bulk of the work in traveling light is planning. Preparation is everything. You must spend a couple of hours thinking through this, and not wait until the night before. I can't stress this enough. Ready? Know Your Destination + Activities What will you be doing on your trip? Try to make sure each item you take can be worn with more than one outfit. Try to wear the bulky items on the plane as long as you can remain comfortable doing so. Take at least one nice dress. Snow and Ice Dyeing. With all the snow and ice that’s piled up in the Northeast and other parts of the country right now, we thought it was about time we put it to good use!
Create unique and amazing colors and patterns with Snow and Ice Dyeing it’s a super easy and fun way to dye fabric. INSTABRAID. Cutlery Tray for Jewelry! I LOVE Jewelry, real jewelry, costume jewelry, all of it . . . almost as much as I love shoes!
I have a small jewelry box for my "real" jewelry. As much as I'd love to fill a wall with gold and diamond jewelry, we can't afford that :( so as far as my real items go, I only own the classics. A small pair of diamond studs, a pair of peal earrings, a pearl necklace, a cocktail ring, a couple of white gold bands, and of coarse my wedding band and engagement ring!! DIY Personalised Clock – A FUN way to learn to tell the time! I found this fantastic idea over on Pinterest here and just HAD to make it.
I’m keen to start Master L (5yo) on learning the time so I thought this was a FUN way to get his learning juices flowing! This would also make a wonderful gift too! It may look difficult to make, but trust me, it was a piece of cake! It’s also very inexpensive – in total it only cost me a little over $10! You will need: 22cm clock (9 inches) Glue (I always use a glue gun, but craft glue would work just as well) Screwdriver Clock battery Scissors First take a photo of your ‘subject’. Make sure you get the whole ‘subject’ in the shot from the tip of their finger to the bottom of their toes and take the photo front on. The ideal pose it to have one finger pointing straight up with their arm close to their ear & the other arm down by their side. I printed the images on both a 6×4 and 5×7 size photo. Now using your screwdriver, take the front off the clock and keep the screws in a safe place!

Transfer a Photo onto a Slab of Wood. My All-In-One “Miracle” Eye Serum. Tutorials/Projects. How to Make B Vitamin Water for Natural Energy. Similar to electrolyte drinks, vitamin water plays into a public that is trying to become more and more aware of their health.
Its sleek packaging and appealing names make it sound like the perfect combination-you get vitamins while drinking a healthy dose of water. Again, like electrolyte drinks, there’s not really a whole lot to it. Vitamin water actually contains 13 grams of refined sugar in each serving, which equates to 32.5 grams of sugar in a bottle. Regular Coke, which has 39 grams of sugar, isn’t a far cry from that. A regular can of Coke also has 140 calories, while a bottle of vitamin water has anywhere from 100-125 calories.
