Mad about MAXi

I  can only imagine what you are thinking right now. Where the Heck is my Monday  Re-Style project. Well  It is right beside, me waiting for some  pictures to be taken of it. Without boring you with the  details, I have to switch tonight's Project with tomorrows Clothes post. I hope you understand that sometimes being a blogger, Mother, Wife, and worker outside of the home,
everything can all run together and explode, making an extreme mess.

  For tonight, Clothes is on the agenda.

If you follow me on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter I gave you a sneak peek of what I was up to.  

  I promise, Re-Style fun tomorrow.

This is something I wore this weekend on a wonderful, well needed night out. Wodering why I am wearing a Maxi Dress in the middle of winter?

 Well, central Florida doesn't really follow the rules when it comes to what you should wear in the winter. Why?  Because on this day, Temperatures were in the high 70's.

 Dress~ Lauren Conrad,  Kohls , Jean Jacket and leopard clutch~ Express, Heels~ BCBG, necklaces and bracelet~ my creations, ring~Charlotte Russe

Food we consumed.

Pub we gathered in.

Mine is the Coke. I was the DD for the night.

See you tomorrow:)

Sunday With Sailor Sam; Saving Face

Many things happened to  Sailor Sam this week. 

Let's go check it out.

 This Week, Sailor Sam and I were up really early most mornings, getting lots of work done!

 He seemed to miss the Ocean, because he spent one afternoon watching Peter Pan, our beautiful Beta fish.

To cheer Sailor Sam up, I bought him a  big, fat chocolate brownie.

 We had to take another trip to see Dr. Dan, because he was losing his face. 

Gasp" Can you Save him Dr. Dan!"

 We decided  that we had to perform face surgery right away .

 There's my handsome Sailor Sam!  Welcome back Sam.

Thanks, Dr. Dan.

 We celebrated his great surgery success  by doing a little DIY together.

 He made this really pretty Bracelet out of chain and diamonds.

Sailor Sam wanted to know why my nails were two different colors.

  I told him it was all in the name of Fashion.

 He told me he like the colors I picked for my nails, especially the Glittery orange one. 

Thank you Sam!

 He also told me he  knew the Lego's on this Valentines Day box.
I am super impressed

Then, after a very long day of working, I found Sailor Sam asleep with his glasses on. Aww so cute.

Night Sailor Sam, Sleep well.

Have a great Sunday Everyone

Lots of <3,

DIY, Fold-over, Canvas Clutch

About a month ago, my beautiful sister sent me a message on Facebook, telling me I had to make one of these clutches.  Since then,  I have been kind of recreating it over and over in my mind.
How will I do this?
What materials will I use?
What size will it be.?
Yesterday I found a canvas bag that would work perfect.
I also want to make one in Leather,  but this was a trial run.

Clutch
Aren't these so cute.?

Other inspirations

 Converse fold over clutch

Claire Vivier fold over clutch



So here is My version of the bag my Sister wants.

 Now this bag is made from the, ever so easy to obtain and inexpensive canvas.
Leather is my next adventure, but I wanted to do a trial run with canvas, so I am not wasting expensive, harder to obtain, leather.
Plus, I think canvas for spring is perfect.
Wanna make one?

Tutorial
Things you need

1. Canvas 30" long by 20" wide (the dimensions of the finished bag will be 15" by 10")
2. Zipper 7 inches
3. Glue
4. Glitter
5. Scissors
6.  Paint brush
7. Tape ( not shown) Painters tape or duct tape
8. Sewing machine
9. Straight Pins

Sew a basic rectangle
leaving one  of the shorter sides open

 Fold the bag over and decide where you want your zipper.

  turn  your bag inside out.
Lay your zipper down and trace around the outside of it.
Now you are going to measure in, about a half inch from both ends, so that when you sew the zipper onto the bag it will fit perfect.
draw a box with a line down the middle like in the picture above.
then you are going to cut where I have marked.

fold that down and iron it so it stays.

now lay your zipper on top of that
match up your edges and pin if you need to hold it.
you should use a zipper foot to sew all the way around the edge.
I did not use a zipper foot, but zipper foot is most likely the way to go.
turn right side out and check your work.
UNZIP the zipper.,and turn it back inside out.

 with the zipper open, sew the last top edge of your bag.
*make sure the zipper is open or you will not be able to turn your bag right side out again.

After you have your bag all finnished it time to decorate it.
YAY!! the best part.
tape off your stripes.

 mix your glue and glitter

paint the glue/ glitter mixture onto your bag,
then sprinkle a little extra glitter on top of that.

let that dry.~two hours maybe~
then paint one more coat of just glue on top of the glitter stripes, to seal the glitter.
after about 1 hour, slowly remove your tape.
 then let that completely  dry 2 to 3 hours.
 

I added a charm onto my zipper for easy open and close access. 
Fold-over clutch complete.
