Re-use First things first! Thank you SO MUCH for all the love and well wishes on my Birthday Love List last week. Celebrations and school were keeping me extra busy, but of course I read each comment, and every single one of them made my birthday so much better. So thank you!!! I live in an itsy bitsy cottage, freestanding – a rare point of pride in this ridiculously overpriced paradise – and in many ways falling apart. I generally try to avoid Pinterest. Boy howdy, this project. Glass straws are one of my absolute favorite plastic replacements.
Striped, Strapless No-Sew T-Shirt, DIY. I have been trying to come up with new, no sew T- shirts in different styles, and while I was experimenting on a no sew skirt this weekend, I came up with this cute no sew strapless shirt. You could wear this with your favorite jeans, shorts or even use it as a beach cover up. The best part is there is no sewing involved. What you need: – T-Shirt (I used a XL mens Tee) – Scissors – Tape –Garbage bag Fold your shirt in half and use your tape to tape across your shirt use your scissors to cut right above the tape, this tape helps me cut a straight line. Cut open where your sleeves are, along the seams on both sleeves. Place a garbage bag in between your shirt so the paint does not seep through. Tape off your shirt. and gradually made them bigger at the bottom. Now figure out the colors you want to use. I used Yellow, Orange and Pink. Now you have a strapless( No sew) shirt for summer. I hope you have a wonderful Monday. For more No sew Tee shirts ideas, check out My Blog Lots of Love, Anne

t-shirt latch hook rug tutorial I really love flokati rugs. I have two that are safely tucked away in my parents basement awaiting our reunion. When I learned that I would be having a child and building a nursery for him, I wanted a flokati. I’m going to show you how it’s done, but let me warn you- while this rug was super inexpensive to make with the resource of money- it was very costly in the resource of time. And now, this is how to make your very own latch hook rug. Supplies: Latch hook canvas latch hook tool old t-shirts scissors or rotary cutting tool/mat seam binding masking tape dye (optional) All of these things should be available at your local craft store, with the exception of the old t-shirts. On to the making! Once you’ve gathered all of your shirts, use a rotary cutting tool and mat (you can certainly use scissors but the results are less precise) to cut the shirts into 1 inch strips. Once you have all of the strips cut, it’s time to dye them if you’d like. Now you’re ready to hook! xo elle
Make a Modern Doll House » Curbly | DIY Design Community « Keywords: DIY, kids, dollhouse, Craft Let's face it, we don't all want a huge, pink plastic Dreamhouse gracing our playrooms. While some people thrive on the modern dollhouse hobby, for playtime, modern dollhouses are hard to find and expensive to boot, a combination I'd never let my kids near. Erin at Sutton Grace solved this dilema by making her kids their own mod doll house, and you can too. Complete with a vintage 1960's kitchen and furnishings, Erin created a dollhouse for her kids that would fit in with her modern home decor. The best part is, she includes the house plans on her blog, as well as several posts documenting the creating (and decorating!) of the dollhouse. This house makes me want to get in on the playtime.

Candy Heart Garland I'm excited about the new look for my blog. The design comes from the same lady who designed my photography business blog. I'm still working on things and will hopefully have it finalized soon. Also... Valentines Day is a big deal for Alanna because we usually have or go to a party with her friends. Anyway... Last night I made a garland out of candy hearts. For my first attempt, I hot glued them to a grosgrain ribbon. I figured it was the weight pulling it over, so I glued another row of hearts to the backside of them. Getting annoyed, I gave it one more chance. It looks adorable and it was really cheap!

And a couple more things I want to point out--like the final two napkin varieties I made to finish up my crazed napkin project...yes, these vintage-inspired happy faces that I embroidered onto the corner of some linen napkins.

Ornament Wreath 101 After seeing this ADORABLE ornament wreath on a million other blogs, I knew this had to be my next project. SO cute, right?! And Eddie Ross was telling me I could actually do it myself?! First up…a stop at the Dollar Tree. Here’s what you’ll need to get started… A glue stick, a wire coat hanger, and ornaments. Take your wire hanger and bend it into a circle…or in my case, something that’s in the ballpark of being circular?! Now. Thank the Lord I was only about 4 ornaments into the project or I’d have been BEYOND annoyed!!! But keep going…and make sure to alternate colors and sizes as you go. I was getting SO excited as I kept going. I mean, c’mon y’all. And if you’re anything like me, you might actually think about leaving everything where it is for your husband to clean up the next day. Now I need to figure out where to put it!!!! Total cost: $11. Not too shabby, right?!
Rainbow Princess Dress I'm done. I'm done. I'm done, I'm done, I'm done! (Humming to "I'm Late" from Alice in Wonderland.) When I asked my daughter what she wanted to be for Halloween, she was very specific. This dress took 5 days, three different trips to the fabric store and lots of groaning and wailing on my part. Meet the Rainbow Princess: She has 2 tutu's and a petticoat under the dress. I still need to add a hook and eye to the top of the dress. Poor little thing had an accident at pre-school involving a slide and the ground last week. Now I need to spend the rest of the day taking care of all the chores I neglected all week.
