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...

Maternity Shirt to Cardigan in 30 Minutes

-

I love clothes, and have the hardest time parting with them. I have this maternity shirt that I bought for a whopping $1 at a garage sale. I honestly was never fond of it because it was anything but stylish, but so very comfortable and when you are pregnant comfort is what you want in life.

I have been seeing a lot of t-shirt cardigans around the internet and decided to try one for myself. To make follow these steps.

1. Use your seam ripper to remove the fabric in the center of the chest.
2. Place the front of the shirt over your cutting board.
3. Use your rotary cutter and a ruler to cut down the center of the t-shirt.


Seriously that is it. It is jersey so it won't fray. There is no need to hem it. You can embellish it, make a tie for the center, put on a pretty ribbon, etc., but I think I will just leave it as is. Not bad for my first refashion? What do you think?

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.
