Today’s topic is a little different than usual: dyeing a dress! Let’s get right into it. Here is the dress in question. It’s actually the dress I wore for my graduation ceremony (and photoshoot) last year. White isn’t really a color I look good in, so after those two events the dress has sat unworn in my closet. Well, that…
Today I’ll be sharing a little about how we’re going about decorating with goldenrod. Also, I’ll be posting a few pictures that I’ve taken recently that just look like “Fall”. Ready to get started? Starting out, in case you’re not familiar with goldenrod, here it is in it’s natural state. It grows profusely on our property, and blooms bright yellow/golden…
Today I’ll be a sharing a few photos of the process of personalizing a hand-bound book. Yes, I’ve never posted anything like this before, but that’s what Simply Saturdays are for! Here is the book in question. I should make it clear that I was not the one to do the binding. This is my brother’s copy of The Lord…
Today is about making a jean skirt, the second part. The skirt actually turned out a lot better than I thought it might! So let’s get into how I took from here to finished! As you can see in this photo, the back is a lot neater after top-stitching. I ironed down the seams, then stitched them. Oh, and I…
Or, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure! Today I’ll be sharing where I am in the process of turning a few pairs of ratty pants into a skirt. Let’s get started! These are the “ratty pants” in question. My idea was that by cutting pieces out of the more usable sections of fabric, I could make a (hopefully) cute…
Today I’ll be sharing a little mixed media project I’m working on. I haven’t finished it yet, but I thought I’d share where I am in the process. Let’s get started! Pictured above is the image I’m working off of. I don’t really think my project will look very near to it, but it’s nice to having something to use…
Hello again! Today I’ll be doing something a little different: A ‘what I packed for a weekend trip’ post! (Oh, and let me say here that this post was scheduled to be posted on Saturday. I wrote it before we left for our trip. 🙂) So we’ll just dive right in here. Pictured above are the back pack and travel…
Hello again! Today we’ll be looking at my yarn stash, as well as a recent purchase with which I’m hoping to improve my skills. 🙂 This photo is a little messy, but you can only make yarn look so tidy. 😉 The yarn on the left is acrylic, the yarn on the right is cotton, and the purple one all…
Who’s up for a Summer garden tour? 😉 You may remember how a couple of months ago I posted a garden tour. Back then, it was mostly just dirt, mulch, and a few small green plants. Well, with the long, hot, rainy days of Summer, the garden has grown considerably! Now, I’ll just let you know: this post contains a…
As I’ve posted before, I’ve recently been interested in creating custom note cards. There’s an endless amount of variety that can be drawn onto a blank card. I’ve mostly been drawing (no pun intended 😉 ) inspiration from flowers, vines, leaves, etc. The two cards above are some that I finished already. Today I thought I’d take you through the…
