Shredded T-Shirt

So, I've been wanting to make a shredded t-shirt for a while that I see all the time at the gym, so I decided to make one for the first time ever and it was ridiculously easy. I think I can do my next one in less than 5 minutes! I loved this tapered look. Check it my how to in the Crafts tab above. It turned it so cute!!! Now I know what to do with those few extra t-shirts in my drawers.

Photo Tags for Christmas Gifts

Here's my reoccurring project that I've been doing for the past 4 years every Christmas. This is sooo cute and special. Trust me, the people receiving their gifts with their own photo on it LOVE IT!!! I'll be adding the instructions on how to make these hopefully by this weekend but the photos are in my Craft Inspirations and DIY tab. As you can tell from my blog, adding pictures on things makes it just so much better.

Puppy Love

She's such a sweet mommy....she's good about letting us near her.

I always said I wanted to have puppies but this was a great surprise! My mother-in-law lives outside of Fort Worth and has a good size amount of land. She noticed a stray and scrawny dog roaming around. It was extremely skinny and looked like she was starving. She's such a softy for dogs (she already has 3 dogs of her own that live inside the house,)  so she quickly asked EVERYONE if they would take her in...and of course no one wanted poor little Red (that's what they are calling her.) So after about a month of feeding her, we all noticed that she is gaining weight...quickly!!! We thought, wow, they are over feeding this hefty pup, hehehe. She has been hanging around the neighborhood for a few weeks when all of a sudden she went missing and my mother-in-law went looking for her. She found Red under their storage shed along with about 8 itty bitty puppies! (We can't count them since they're out of reach, there might be more!!!) So here they are...aren't they so cute! Now, we are needing help finding future owners. They should probably be good to go to a new owner in about 6-7 weeks from today. So please spread the word if you live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and contact me if you are interested or know someone who is.

Love them so much, but I need y'alls help!

Wayne had to pull me away from the shed...I didn't want to leave them.

Mommy Dog, she's very well behaved.

What!?!? Photos on Metal!

Ok, so I really wanted to justify buying a whole jar of Gel Medium after doing my Photos on Wood and I tried researching online what else to use it on. I found some tutorial for glass (which I might do later on down the road) and some more projects on wood. Well, that wasn’t different enough for me…so I decided to experiment...HA! Check out my Craft Inspirations and DIY tab to find out how to make it. BTW, the metal shingle only costed me 33 cents! It looks really cool.

How to Put Photos on Wood

Well, it feels like forever that I've posted anything on my blog...I can't believe summer is coming to an end. I am just finishing up my latest project, Photos on wood. I had no idea that it would come out in color but to my surprise it did! I found this idea on pinterest but finally decided to do some. Check out the Craft Inspirations and DIY! Make sure you use regular paper (not photo paper) and use a laser printer (not an inkjet printer,) it's a common question I'm getting.

Removable Snap On & Off Lace Shorts

Lace shorts are emerging everywhere! These are so cute and trendy right now. I was scared to commit to sew lace on my shorts so I found a way to have the best of both worlds. DIY Snap On/Off Lace shorts. Now my shorts that can be worn with or without lace. Your favorite shorts can have two different looks. Very cute and you don’t have to give-up your favorite pair of shorts. Check out the Craft Inspirations and DIY to make some for yourself. I LOVE MINE!!! I've worn them like three the past week, hehe!

Yucky Ceiling Fan

So, as you can see, my ceiling fans REALLY needed to be cleaned...YUCK!!! I have one of those special bristled brushes made for fan blades but it just makes the dust go EVERYWHERE. I saw on pinterest that you can use a pillow case but I also sprayed some dusting spray so that it would really look good and so that the dust would cling onto the pillowcase. I was amazed how cleaned it looked...I did the other fans in the house immediately! 

I used an old flannel pillowcase I haven't used in years which worked perfect for this job. I sprayed the inside with Pledge and then I got up onto of my bed and placed the fan blade inside like it was a sock. I kind of was rubbing the p.c. while it was on so that I can get the under side good and around the brackets. Slowly pull off and Ta Da!!! Minimal dust fell down...YAY! I went ahead and washed my linens afterwards just to make sure...sans pillow case of course...haha.
