Perhaps I should begin this post by introducing you to my mom, also known as Her Ladyship Craftiness…er, Her Royal Craftiness? I’m still working on the title. Regardless, she’s the coolest, most creative and talented woman I know. She can make pretty much anything. At least once during high school, I borrowed a friend’s purse, brought it home to Mom, and she whipped one up just like it for me. Yes, I probably abused the power of being Her Ladyship’s daughter, and I no longer steal my friends’ purses, but the point is: my mom is awesome. If you follow Young House Love, Bower Power, Making a House a Home, or Style by Emily Henderson you know how timely her visit was, as today is the big reveal for the Pinterest Challenge.

I got these crappy sunglasses in some cheap schwag bag a million years ago and never threw them out because I break or lose sunglasses all the time so I keep every pair I get my grubby hands on. I hated the orange so I decided to just use chain to hold them up. I used my nail file to take off the ugly plastic ear hook thingies. I took about 45" of the brass chain and made it into a big loop. I put the glue-y chain on the glasses above the lenses. I used black chain for under the lenses. I added a few round brass studs in the corners. That's it! Chanel chain sunglasses diy Enjoy! Shes Crafty: Feather Hair Extensions | M.I.S.S. - StumbleUpon.

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! And…you’re only 10! But she definitely is not complaining anymore because we both have feather hair extensions, and all her friends now want what she’s got. Feathers are all the rage, especially since Spring 2011 trends are summoning the whole laid-back bohemian vibe.

My dad and little brother came over this afternoon to help me hang this wall display. i mentioned the other day that i was making fake TTV photos (2 posts below) and this is what i used them for. i originally saw this idea via Tara's blog and have been planning it in the back of my mind ever since!

Hello hello. i recently posted a few photos of a couple of photo banners i made for my store. i got tons of questions about the project, so i decided to write you a short & sweet little tutorial about how it's done. here are my original two. i made them with two boxes of bad polaroid film (no worries, it happens, i was refunded... but i still couldn't bear to waste the photos even though they were unexposed). i spent my weekend doing fun home projects and i decided to try making a welcome banner for my entry (at the top of my stairs) with fuji instax photos. you can try this with any instant photos (polaroids or fujis) or use of of the many free photo editing options like picnik or rollip to make your faux instant photos and then print them out at home. for my welcome banner i used my fuji instax to take photos of random textures and pretty patterns around my home. last step: you just use a craft knife and a cutting surface to cut out the letters by hand & ta-da!

You're done! XO. elsie.
