Felting Heart Tee: DIY




Hey everyone, I hope you all are  having a wonderful Valentine's Day week. I have been working on a few things, like putting a few finishing touches in office and trying to record a few makeup videos for those ladies 45 plus like me.  Let me just say recording a video with your face in the center of it is really intimidating and challenging.   I am going  to power through and  finish it because it is a challenge I  have made myself.  I am also working on dropping the last ten pounds that has been so hard for me to do over the last year with the help of  Skinny Shake. 
 It is a new year with all kinds of new possibilities. I am going to really stretch my self and do things that challenge me and push me to be a better me. What is your goal this year? Do you have any?
I never make New Years Resolutions because I  never keep them.  I am approaching it completely different this year, I am making small goals and so far it has been working
Goal #1 Make a new space just for me to create and film Videos in. 
Goal #2 Lose the last Ten (Working on)
Goal #3 De Clutter ( the biggest challenge)
Goal #4 More DIY's
Goal #5 Blogging Full time.
Goal #6 Learn  Something weekly that will challenge me.
Goal #7 Write everyday 3 things I am thankful for. Go back an re- read before bed.
Goal #8 Felting
I am sure as the year goes on I will be adding to this, but for now  this is it.

Valentine's Day can either be the best or the worst Holiday.
Spend that time loving yourself. Pamper yourself with a facial or a massage. Grab your best friend, Mom, or  cousin that is single and go see a movie.  Pop some corn and watch that movie only you like at home.  Make something. Cook your favorite meal and invite all your single Girlfriends over.
 I have to confess Valentine's Day has never really been my favorite Holiday for reasons of the past.
But I love the Idea of Valentine's Day. Pink Hearts, a wild romantic night, A beautiful dinner with someone. We make it what we want.
Just Loving  one another is what Valentine's day and everyday should be.

 Felting is a project that  I have been wanting to do for a long time.
I finally found all of the materials  to do this shirt at Hobby Lobby.
It really is easy and not very expensive.  I have used a regular t-shirt for this project but it really works well on sweaters. Be creative and make your own design. I thought pink hearts would be great for this Valentine's day. Click read more to see how you can create a cute shirt by felting.

Pink Flag Garland: DIY


 Hey everyone I just finished my Studio / Office and I could not be more thrilled. This is a new space just for me to create and to do more videos in and I am loving it so much all ready.  Sometimes I just go in there to sit and think and I just can't believe how very lucky I am. I am also experimenting on a few makeup videos, something that came out of always searching the internet for Makeup videos that is focused on the over Forty team.
Something else that is happening this week is I just started the Skinny Shake Challenge ( Info on all of that at Skinnyco.com.  Great tasting and it gave me such an energy boost today. Something I really needed. But I will post more about that later. Feel free to follow me on Instagram, Snapchat or my Facebook page if you would like to see the daily shake I create and also to see if it helps me shave off a few pounds.



Now back to the DIY.  This DIY was created because I am always looking to make fun things for Valentine's day and  I thought that I could  create this cute little pink flag garland for my new room just pink enough to pass for a Valentine's day decoration but something I  could I could use  past that holiday. This project is really easy and it only took me about an hour from start to finish. So if you are looking for a fun, quick project, this is it.

I can not wait to post the room makeover so all of you can see my new pink room
Have a Fantastic Weekend.
Lots of Love.
