More DIY Ideas: Creative Salvage Makeovers One of my favorite topics to blog about is DIY / Makeover project ideas. I really wish I lived in a house with a garage and/or backyard (instead of an apartment) so I could take on more of my own DIY weekend projects...but for now, I"ll just have to settle with scoping out other people's fabulous transformations for inspiration. I found this gallery via Sunset Magazine with some great ideas! Do you have any DIY projects in the works?

Capture the Details I'd like to share a project I designed for Blumenthal Lansing Company (my favorite button source!!!). I wrapped a foam wreath with burlap strips and decorated it with frayed fabric flowers and buttons. For supplies you will need: 12” Extruded Wreath Ring, FloraCraft 1/3 yard Natural Color Burlap Fabric Quarters, 18” x 21”, 3 patterns 1 ½” Pearlized Pins, assorted colors Beading Pins Scissors Sewing Needle and Heavy Thread Buttons, assorted colors I seem to always say this, but this is one of my favorite design projects. To cover the wreath with burlap: Cut burlap into 2” wide by 1/3 yard (13 ½”) strips.Secure a burlap strip to the back of the wreath with beading pins. To make the flowers and finish the wreath: To make the fabric flowers: Rip a 1” wide by 21” long strip from a piece of fabric. Note: You can find video tutorials online on how to make frayed fabric flowers. Attach the flowers to the wreath by adding stacked button centers held in place with a pearlized pin.

~Ruffles And Stuff~ Baking & Dessert Recipes & Videos - Joyofbaking.com *Tested Recipes* The Story of Us angry chicken I am very excited to be selling 2 new products in my etsy shop! A Cleansing Oil and Facial Toner. Both 100% organic. I have always washed my face with a custom blended oil cleanser followed with a facial toner before I use the facial oil. The toners I use (and now sell) are 100% organic hydrosols. I made 3 different formulations of these 2 products to go with the existing line of Restorative, Balancing, and Nourishing Facial Oils. My goal is to keep my prices low, and keep selling direct instead of wholesale to shops, so please spread the word if you like my products and to those of you who have supported me all these years, thank you so much! I hope you love these as much as I do.
Magic Sauce Recipe I call this the magic sauce recipe. In part, because it makes everything it touches shimmer with deliciousness. It's magic like that. Technically, it's a riff on a chimichurri sauce - one that veered off the rails in a big way. Much tweaking has rendered it a distant second cousin. Let's just start by putting one thing out there. It's as versatile as a black dress. - More Herb Recipes - - More Paprika Recipes - - More Quick Recipes - 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves 2 teaspoons sweet paprika 2 medium cloves of garlic, smashed into a paste 1 well-crumbled bay leaf pinch of red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon + fine grain sea salt 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Gently warm the olive oil over medium-low heat in a skillet or pan, until it is just hot.
