Crystal Intention Charms: DIY

Making a Crystal intention charm is not only easy but it is a good way to set your intention and help you with healing, blocking or just with your everyday energy.   Why I like the charms is because you can mix a couple of different crystals to cater to a specific need.

Pink, Glitter Shoes Re-Style: DIY

Did you ever have that one pair of shoes you just can't get rid of, or maybe they are relatively new  and  where damaged on their first outing. Such a bummer.  Well why not give them new life by making them fancy, I mean everyone deserves a second chance.

These pink, fake suede, shoes where injured pretty quick in the game.  I felt like they had so much life left in them so I gave them CPR. (Cute, re-Purpose, Re-Style) 

With just a little glue and Glitter you can turn almost any shoe into a sparkly masterpiece.

Off the shoulder Tee- shirt dress:. Re Post.

I am looking back through all of my DIY's and this is
was one of my favorite DIY's that I have done to date.
I am dreaming of those warm summer days where this can be worn.
A little blast from the past.

This dress is an idea I thought would be cute and easy to make for summer,

It's made out of two plain black  T- shirt. You can dress this dress up for a fun night out or 

dress it down for a day of shopping or a stroll on the beach.

Very similar to the off the shoulder dress I did for Brassy Apple HERE 

but with a twist.

Double Criss, Cross Tee DIY.

First post of 2018 and I am really excited about this New Year.
I have been  feeling a little discouraged and not really knowing what direction I wanted  to go in with my blog over the last 6 months. The death of  my Grandmother effected me to my  core...

I finally have decided to go back and re-discover all the things I love. Incorporating different DIYs  like jewelry, clothes and of course T-shirts (My favorite.)  Getting back to my creativity feeds and heals my soul, Which is what I desperately need.   If you are  going though difficult times in your life; if you feel defeated, uninspired, depressed, anxious, not really knowing why your here what your life's purpose is, this is the advice I would give.  Take some time to regroup to try and identify the feeling under why you are feeling this way. Walk, meditate, eat well, read encouraging works, listen to encouraging people and song, seek professional help if you have to. Your spirit is trying to grow during this time, to become stronger; help it grow by feeding it what it wants. If you do not know what feeds your soul, do some soul searching.  Try and identify  what brings you happiness; Is it music, art, writing,  cooking, teaching,  nature, gardening,  what makes your feel good?.  Still can't find what you need?, think about when you were a kid, what was the one thing that brought you joy.  Your soul will know when you find it, cultivate that, work it into a job. Dare to dream for it.  You will come through it I promise.  It may take time, but it will happen.  You will be different and you will be stronger.

So now lets do this Tee Shirt.

The Grind of 2017 and the promise for 2018!

Going back to the beginning of why I started this challenge in the first place is bitter sweet for me. When my Grandmother passed away it was one of the hardest life experiences I have ever had to deal with to date. It put me in this unfamiliar place of pain, the feeling of helplessness, anxiety, insomnia, and a all over feeling of sadness that I just couldn't seem to shake. When I researched dealing with a  death of a loved one there were all sorts of suggestions, from therapy, meds, time.  One morning after a rough night and waking up not being able to breathe I decided that I had to make  change. I put on my walking gear and I have never looked back..This was kind of like prescribing myself medicine, but instead of taking  pills I decided to work out all of my issues through exercise and meditation. I would walk everyday for one hour no matter what. I cleared my mornings and started. No exceptions. No excuses. I was invested and determined and that's a powerful combination.  All of my anxiety slowly disappeared and slowly I became sane again Every morning for the last 209 days, give or take a day, due to Hurricanes, traveling to bury my Grandmother, or the latest which is a nasty, nasty cold  I have only missed about 10 days total.,
I have so many more goals for this 2018 year to push myself even further. To push this 50 year old body to its top potential: Mentally, Spiritually and Physically.

During  this journey I have lost about 18 - 20 pounds  regained my confidence and pulled though a really tough time. All in all I would say its a win, win situation.

Was it easy ? No!!!  but so, so worth every step...
Here is to many more goals to be met in 2018 including going back to regular blog post.. Which is over due...


Thank you all for  your support this last year,  it has meant the world to me and gotten me through some pretty dark days.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Love to all of you.

Why not spice up  a camo jacket with a little glitter and gold paint.?

Tutorial

Things you need.

 I mixed a little glitter in my gold paint then I painted random light parts of the camo.

 Once the gold paint dried,

 I painted a thin layer of glue on top of that

 and sprinkled more glitter on top of that.

Then I drew what I wanted to put on the back and I used my X-acto knife to make a stencil.

I Made some Angel wings for the pocket.

tape it to your jacket and using your pink sponge brush,
 stencil with gold paint-then glue- then glitter.

Let dry for about ten minutes, remove stencil.

I am so happy how this turned out.

Necklace Tee, Repost

When I saw  this shirt on Pinterest HERE

 I knew I wanted to try and recreate it out of a t-shirt.

The shirt below, of course, is a sleeveless shirt and is blue, all I really just wanted to do is the necklace detail across the top.

This DIY almost took a turn for the worst when I cut one too many strips and  thought I would have to scrap it.In the end the shirt worked out pretty much like I wanted it to, maybe even better,

just a little different from the picture below.

The best part of making things yourself is that you can tweak them to fit you.

The top picture of me is the first one I created  and is a little lower than I had expected but with a tank top under it worked out great. I wore this shirt all day and it stayed in place and wore well.

I did one more with not as many strips and it sits just slightly different on the body.

I will put that picture at the end of the post.

So grab you scissors and lets make a fun Tee!
