Do you ever do something just because it makes you giggle? Well, that is my only explanation for spending hours on this project, with countless more to come. It is silly, but this design is stuck in my head and I am compelled to continue. So here is an update on the dress so far….
Every now and then, I need the simple pleasure of fresh flowers. The winter weather has been lingering here in Colorado, which has prompted me to bring this little touch of spring indoors as a reminder that soon the outside will be more colorful and pleasant. In preparation for this unaccustomed treat, I set about…
Spring is finally here, and I couldn’t be hoppier about it, if you will pardon my terrible pun. To kick off the spring season, I have a cute and simple Easter bunny project made from Mod Podge and aluminum cans. Check out this video for the full project. Or you can check out the project…
Welcome to my crazy world of haute couture! 🤣🤣🤣 If t-shirts and pajama pants graced the cover of vogue well, I would be a fashion diva. So perhaps it is not that surprising that I would be intrigued by making a dress out of trash. I recently embarked on this frivolous and silly escapade, and…
