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...

The Millionth Martha Pom-Pom Tutorial

-
If you have been stalking the crafting blog-o-sphere for any length of time you have seen a tutorial, or five hundred describing how to make these brilliant bad boys:

Most tutorials credit back to Martha Stewarts wonderful wordless tutorial -here-.

I recently made a batch for my lovely sister-in-laws wedding and figured what the heck. A Tutorial would be fun to do, I mean what is one more tutorial on the Martha Pom as I like to call it?

So here we go:










The End! Happy Martha Pomming It!

We used to make those and put them on sticks like big ole giant flowers. I never thought of hanging them. My oldest would love to do that!! Soo cute. We never rounded the edges though. It looks much prettier that way!

I like the rounded edges too! These would be great at a Halloween party. If you could please add a link back to me or my party button to your post, I'd appreciate it. My blog is small, so I rely on those link-backs. Thanks!

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...
