Just Like That, I am Back

 If I said I was back, would you believe me? Blogging is complicated, and there are so many "get rich quick" blogging schemes that make it look like you are a lost cause if you are not currently earning money blogging. And why are you even blogging if you don't have multiple streams of income and entertainment. If you don't have a brand? I do have this website, but I do not have Instagram, Twitter, TikTok (you don't want to see me dance), or whatever is next.  Heck, I haven't even updated this since before the pandemic. So why am I here, writing about being back and then, probably ghosting for another two years? Life has been rough. It's been painful and overwhelming. I am so thankful for you my readers, or what is left of you. I am so thankful you are reading this post. I am so thankful that you are still committed to making the world a more exciting and more sustainable place.  Keep up-cycling my friends, and you never know, I might be back again with an...

T-Shirt Tuesdays (on a Thursday)

-
I spend way to much time on craft blogs these days. It is a total addiction.

Recently I have come across some amazing bloggers who have done incredible things with T-shirts. If you can't already tell from the name of the blog I love t-shirts. They are so much fun to work with and upcycle. I love the wacky sayings, the retro designs, the strength of a t-shirt and the softness.

I have officially changed the Tuesday to T-Shirt Tuesday. Will it catch on in the regular world? Probably not. In my world it is the best darn day of the week. Here are a few fabulous T-shirt upcycles that I had to share with you (yes, I know it is Thursday but I just couldn't wait!)

I was checking out a website called:

Keeping It Simple

and found this fabulous refashion using a shirt she already had and an old pair of her sons pants. I love the red stripes!


Another wonderful blogger with some killer Rebel Tees for boys is:

 

I haven't ventured into the world of freezer paper stenciling, but as soon as I get brave enough I am all over this tutorial. I mean I love how it is punk rock and cute at the same time. I coulnd't ask for anything more adorable.

And finally this amazing tutorial over at The Mother Huddle (don't you love the name). If you haven't checked this blog out please do now. This is an adorable and so easy to make.



I hope that you enjoyed the first ever T-shirt Tuesday. I enjoyed writing it and checking out what is going on in the world of T-shirts. If you have any tutorials you would like me to feature on T-shirt Tuesday write me and let me know.

Love and Rockets,

Hello lovely T-shirt Diary followers!  The Pink Bat Girl is here to rescue you from plain old scrap wood and boredom today with a fun Memorial Day upcycled project!  My block wood is courtesy of an old toddler bed that all of my kids used from Ikea.  The bed has been given away, however, we still had the old wood that went under the mattress.  I thought it would make some really great wood blocks! I took this old wood and my hubby's handy dandy saw and cut them into my desired lengths!.. I love power tools!  So if you would like to make some of these fun decorations here is what you need! Ingredients wood blocks scrapbook paper cut into small strips red, white and blue paint Mod Podge craft glue jewels Start by cutting your wood into blocks.  Paint the top block red, the second block white and the last block blue. When the paint it dry start Mod Podging your blocks with the scraps of scrapbook paper in a quilty kind of design. When mine were done t...

If you are visiting this party I know you are up for a good challenge. Please sign up for Stashbusting September . You know you have some stash to bust! It's time for Upcycled Awesome, your green linky party dedicated to upcycled crafts and more.  As always you have until Saturday at Midnight to post your upcycled project. It was Sunday, but I think you can get your linky on and call it a day sooner. You guys do rock. Upcycling is taking something you already have, something rescued from a thrift store, garage sale, or even your neighbors garbage and making it into something new. For more information on upcycling check out this post . Here are a few of my favorites from last week. If you are featured please do not forget to grab a button. I just discovered Freckled Laundry , and boy am I loving this website. She offers five uses for that old pair of tights that you spent $12 on and can no longer wear (she had twins, my excuse would be too much ice cream). Knit S...

Not really. It's just been so darn long since I have actually blogged I figure a catchy title would grab your attention. Are big things in the works, maybe? I would love to get this blog up and running again. I want to be writing again, and I want to be crafting again. Will it happen? Stay tuned!
