Good morning,How many of you shop Ballard Designs? Or, at minimum, browse their décor and make a mental list of what you want in your home? I have been thinking about the outdoors for a while now and something caught my eye: When I saw these, it was one of those “I can do that” moments. As fleeting as some of those moments may be, I was convinced. Keep in mind, a lot of my on-a-whim projects are just that. Because I was using what I had on hand, I used a bottle rather than a true terra cotta vessel. {Yes, I was impatient and didn’t let it dry completely before I took my picture.} The bottle I used happened to have the little doo-dad handles on the side so it was a good mimic even though it clearly doesn’t have the same type of opening.

Is organizing a summer sewing challenge: make a skirt (or dress) a week for the month leading up to summer. To help those of you participating in this Summer of No Pants, I have a tutorial for an easy a-line skirt. My least favorite part of making a skirt is hemming. You will need 1 1/4 yards main fabric 1/2 yard contrast fabric A 9″ zipper (or a 7″ zipper and a button) To make the pattern: Making a pattern for an a-line skirt is pretty straight forward. Putting together the skirt: To assemble the skirt, sew the front and back together along one side. To put in the zipper: Putting in zippers is my worst sewing skill.

Several people have asked me how to make my Picnic Dress. It’s a bit too complicated for the step by step instruction on how to draft a pattern I gave for the draped t-shirt, but I hope this will be enough detail for anyone who is familiar with how dresses are made. You will need 4 yards of 45″ fabric and an 18″ zipper. These are the pieces of the pattern. Mark out the measurements listed and the distances between them. For example, on the waistband measure out the distance between your underbust/ribcage and your waist, then measure half your ribcage measurement at one side and half your waist measurement at the other.

Then draw out the rest of the shape so it looks more or less like the pieces in the picture. If you aren’t used to making your own patterns it might be helpful to have a pattern for another dress to refer to, particularly for the sleeves. To make the curve of the skirt even, use your tape measure like an enormous protractor. DIY Recipes & Self-Improvement. Wearable Photos: A DIY guide.

My Big Crush on Miniature Gardens (and Winner Announced!) If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed I've been on a little miniature gardening kick lately, oohing and aahing over the tiny and obsessing over the itty bitty. (Click here to see my Miniature Garden board.)

I am loving the little accessories I've seen to go in the gardens and I'm totally impressed with what some people come up with.This weekend, I finally pulled together all the little supplies I've been gathering for my first big (or little) attempt at a miniature garden. I started with a thrifted metal container I found the other day, and added some gravel to the bottom for drainage. You can also use packing peanuts or pieces of styrofoam in the bottom of a container if there are no drainage holes. Then I just added the potting soil & plants. I found some succulents I loved at Home Depot for only $3 per pot. And my favorite parts are the little accessories. I've been using a simple spray bottle to spritz the plants every couple of days and, so far, they're doing great. Miniature Gardening With Herbs. Did you think I was kidding when I said I was really getting into this miniature gardening thing?

Well, I wasn't. My first one was so much fun that now I've gone at it again with a container of herbs. And I can't wait for some of you fellow mini garden enthusiasts to see it. So here are all the little details: After a search for just the right container, I finally came across this drink tub with a stand at my local grocery store, and I knew it was just what I needed. So, I added some chunks of styrofoam into the bottom of the tub for drainage since I did not want to drill holes.

Then, I filled it the rest of the way with potting soil... Next came my favorite herbs... Then it was time to put up the fence, which came in a pack of 5 little pieces from the doll house section at Hobby Lobby. Next, my miniature assistant put in the stone path for me. Then, we just added our other accessories. The little green bike came from here, and the bridge came from here. The link for the lantern is here. Before and after: Small Balcony. I love to sit on my Moroccan poufs and see nothing of the busy world outside, just the mini-garden. When I bought the apartment, my tiny balcony was already enclosed with glass and had a built-in that provides much needed storage.

It was perfect for the Romanian winter blizzards, not so perfect for my intentions. I found the real-estate listing pic, it's just horrible! Dark gloomy atmosphere and horrible clashing colors. The tiles were a dirty grayish blue and the storage was brown shelves and green cupboard doors. Also my ever growing plant collection needed a proper place to stay. Step one: Paint every wall white. Step two: Prepare the floor. Step three: Make a large shelf under the windows. I ended up with a vegetation jungle, because: A.

Good Ink - a gallery on Flickr. DIY Macrame Bracelet. Growing up by the beach in Southern California, the ability to knot a macrame bracelet was practically a right of passage. Although those days are long behind us, we’ve never forgotten the ever-so-simple square knot technique. This time, however, we’re replacing hemp and wooden beads for more updated elements like colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Happy knotting! You’ll need: Start by cutting the knotting cord into two 30 inch, two 20 inch and one 10 inch lengths. Center the 30 inch cord under the two middle strands. Pull tightly and slide the knot up to the top. Finish the 2nd half of the square knot by folding the left cord over the middle strands and under the right cord.

Pull tightly and repeat the steps – left, right, left, right . . . To finish the knots, thread one of the cords onto a needle and sew up the center of 3-4 knots along the backside. Repeat the same step on the other cord. After sewing up both knotting cords, trim away any excess. A Matter Of Style: DIY Fashion. Recipes. Justina’s valentine’s day fort.

Chrysanthemums are some of my favorite flowers.

I especially like the varieties with the petals that fade from dark, saturated color in the center of the flower, to a lighter color near the outer edge of the flower. So yesterday, I decided to try to replicate this look on a decorative mirror using plastic spoons. So obviously it doesn’t look exactly like a chrysanthemum, but I think it’s pretty good! What do you think? I had fun with this project! It was a lot of trial and error, so I’ll tell you the steps that I took to make this mirror, but I’ll also tell you what I would change if I were to do it again. First, I bought six packages of 48 plastic spoons, and I cut the handles off of all of them.

Next, I was in the mood to craft…not to use power tools. But here’s what I did. Then I flipped it over, with the spoon handles on the bottom, and I covered the gap with thick paper (almost like cardstock) using hot glue to attach it. Then I started attaching the spoons with hot glue. Getting Rid of Clutter. Fashion DIY. Jewellery. Loom Knitting. Knitting/Crochet. Gardening. Arts & Crafts.
