Thursday goal

If it rains, I'm going to scrapbook and/or craft. There, now that I've stated it here, I will make it happen.
If it is sunny, I'm spending some time soaking it up!
Pics to come later (if it rains and I get to scrap)

DIY Wednesday (a little late)




I love Anthropologie...but, it's a tiny bit expensive for me. I got some inspriation from Dear Lizzy at http://www.elizabethkartchner.blogspot.com/ to make a shirt that is a bit of a look alike!

Supplies: Scissors, pins, needle, matching thread, 2 t-shirts, sewing machine if desired (I hand stitched as my machine is currently broken.)
1. Cut long strips from one of the shirts. I cut 6 strips from the back of the t-shirt.

2. Folding and pinning as you go, arrange the strips on your other shirt. I started at the shoulder and continued roughly along the v-neckline.
3. Stitch into place.

Just found this website this morning. I'm spending the gray rainy morning checking out all the pretties here: http://housedoctordk.blogspot.com. Hopefully, I'll be back later with some crafty or scrapbook pics.

Sunday inspiration

Yesterday I took an old copy of Elle with me to a softball tournament and let it inspire me. Ideas kept coming to me, having no paper with me, I tore out a cute add and started writing my ideas on the mag page. Now I can't wait to hit a Goodwill store and score some cool (ulgy) pieces just waiting to be turned into something new! Even though the summer is half over, I still have high hopes for it to be fun and creative AND relaxing!
Check out www.rebeccasower.typepad.com. Her banner is to die for! Makes me want to scrapbook, and sew really cool monster dolls like RIGHT NOW!
