Natural Organic Fabric Childrens Fabric Online Funky Fabrix Online Australian Fabric Store tutorial This one came out of nowhere. Over the long and glorious weekend, I had a crafty and cooking day with Leah of The Content Owl (we hashtagged #craftingncooking! I highly recommend it!). One project we did was this glitter tee stenciling project! You don't have to buy glitter paint or anything fancy for this tutorial; you can use a combination of the Mod Podge and glitter you've had since 2009 when you started blogging (or is that just me?). You will need:Tee, sweatshirt, sweater, or other garmentFreezer paperGlitterSponge (the smaller the better; the blue one above was too big)ModPodge (highly recommended but not shown--use Fabric Mod Podge for a more durable tee!) My arrow design was I guess loosely inspired by this Old Navy tee, and the crossed arrows motif, although you can do this with any design you can draw and cut out of the freezer paper! Instructions: 1. Cut out the drawing, preserving the outline more than the inside part. 3. 4. 5. 6. Pretty cool, right?

DIY Gift Ideas! Wild Olive It's now been about a month since I returned from my trip to England to see Katie Green, but I finally have finished the bulk of my photo editing! Yay! Today I want to share with you some of the pictures that I took on the London half of my trip. You don't mind looking at loads of photos, do you? Upon arriving back in London after being in the Bristol area for a few days, we visited Eton and Windsor Castle. That same day, we also visited with Katie's grandparents. The next day, Katie, her parents, and I went into London and had breakfast along the Thames. St. As a lover of ancient Egyptian studies, I've wanted to visit the British Museum for ages, so the following day we did. We ended the day with Covent garden and the Royal Ballet. On my last day, we started at the Victoria & Albert museum. This was a day for visiting plenty of shops too, like Harrod's (would you even call that a shop?) But who am I kidding? Thank you for indulging my need to show off photos!
