Easy One Shoulder Tied Tee, DIY

I have seen so many one sided shoulder tees styled for this summer season. To make this super easy tee all you need is a Tee shirt, Chalk, some scissors and about 10 minutes. I love creating tees for the summer especially when they are so simple and quick. I imagining these shirts  in all different bright summer colors.

Grey CrissCross, Cutout Shirt; DIY

Summer is Coming and Tee Shirts will be a staple in our summer wardrobe. One of my favorite things to do is re-design  simple tees to spice them up and make them fun to wear. This Design was a request from my beautiful 2nd cousin.  This Criss-Cross Cutout may look  difficult but it is really easy. My only suggestion  would  be to buy  a small sharp pair of scissors.
 I hope All of you are doing well, I am  sending out my love and prayers to anyone struggling, or just needing a hug. Life can be so hard sometimes, but you are strong and you can pull through. Reach out to friends and family, they are there for you and they love you and so do I.

Easy Pocket Pies,101.

 I have been so obsessed with these little pocket pies.    Pack them in lunches , eat them for a quick snack after school, or why not wrap some up and give them as a gift. I mean it's pie, who doesn't like pie?

Fun Fact:
1900s  – Legendary glutton and a ladies man, James Buchanan Brady (1856–1917), known as Diamond Jim Brady, loved pies of various types. A special dinner was arranged by architect Stanford White. A huge pie was wheeled in, a dancer emerged, naked, and walked the length of the banquet table, stopping at Brady’s seat and fell into his lap. As she fed the millionaire, more dancers appeared. Brady was well known to finish lunch with an array of several kinds of fruit pies
 Well Now, Interesting Huh?

Want to make your very own Pocket Pie? Here is how.

Valentine's Day, Felt Envelopes:DIY

 This year I really wanted to make some handmade Valentine's Day things for all my family and friends. The only thing I was worried about was not having enough time to do them. Well, I fell sick with the Flu on Saturday and I have had nothing but time.
These cute little Envelopes and Hearts I have been making have made my sickness bearable.  The Idea came from some felt envelopes I saw at Target and also on Pinterest. I can't think of anything more special than a handmade Valentines Gift. I was so Happy I could do that this year. Oh, and I am on Day 3 of the flu, I am hopeful  tomorrow I will be at least 75% better.

 Happy Valentine's Day to all of you.

I am Sending you all lots of Love!

Yarn Feathers, DIY

I have seen a few of these feather Tutorials on Pinterest. I was so fascinated by them  I had to make some of my very own.  I have been making them while we watch Blacklist, an old series, that we are so addicted to right now. I think  am going to incorporate them in my Spring garland,  but for now I am making pink,white and coral for Valentine's Day.

The Twelve Days of Christmas Crafting: Day 12, Pom Pom Wreath.

 Well here we are on the last day of My Twelve days of Christmas Crafting. Phewww I did it!
 This was an idea I got from a wonderful friend of mine Karen Miller, except she used the loopy yarn and put trees in the bottom. It was so beautiful and  I was so inspired, that I had to make one too. The one thing was they only had one package of loopy yarn, and it just wasn't enough so I used a vintage white, big blanket yarn, instead. I also  used different sized Pom Poms instead of Trees.  This would be so cute with little hearts hanging for Valentines day or Little snowmen for January. Whatever you decide to do with it is up to you, and making it personal is what Crafting and Diy-ing is all about.
I hope all of you had a Very Merry Christmas. Mine was spent with Family, eating, opening gifts, laughing  and Playing Werewolf( if you haven't heard of it, look it up, its great to play with a big group of people.)I hope All of you Had a Beautiful Christmas.

Twelve Days of Christmas Crafting: Day 10, Christmas, Tree Tea Towels

 I am on the last couple of Projects for my 12 Days of Christmas Crafting. Next Christmas I am going to Start way earlier.  Even though I loved every second of doing it, Time always seemed to be pushing against me.  Even though I only have two projects left my wish would have been to have been finished about a week ago or a little earlier. It is what is this year .
 Next year will be different.
These cute little Tea Towels are really easy to make and you can do any design you would like. Hearts, Birds, flags, Snowmen.When you want to personalize something this is just the ticket.
When I  Am done with my Twelve days I am making a ton of these, in  different themes.
I hope you are all enjoying family and friends this Christmas season because it is truly all we really have, the friends and family in our lives are our greatest gifts.
Make sure they know how important they are.

The Twelve Days of Christmas of Christmas Crafting: Day 9, Felted Polka Dot Sweater.

 Day 9, Of my Twelve days of  Christmas Crafting. I really wanted to do a Christmas Fashion DIY  in one of these  projects.  I have seen so many cute Retro Polka Dots this Holiday Season I thought it would look wonderful on a sweater. Felting is always an  awesome way to get that look store bought look . It is also pretty easy to accomplish and does not take that much time. I did this sweater in about an hour.
All you need is a few felting supplies.( I found all of mine at Hobby Lobby)
Do not waist your time looking at Michael's they have nothing there for felting.
This Sweater turned out just as I imagined, and I love it so much I was thinking of polka dot felting everything. I think a polka dot tea towel would be awesome for my kitchen.
 Enjoy
