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...

About Stash-busting September

-
Ironically since I tend to mostly dabble in upcycled crafts my home is overrun with, well stuff (not the word I should use but it will work).

In comes September, which goes pretty good with the work Stash-busting.

For the month of September I am going to bust through my stash. I will not buy new or used items to add to my ever growing pile of items to be upcycled. I will share my creations with the world and smile at the fact that I didn't spend a penny on any of them (well obviously I did at one point, but let's not get to technical). I am tossing around what you will be allowed to buy? I mean if a girl runs out of thread that doesn't count? Does it?

What is in it for you. Well it's a challenge and who doesn't love a challenge. I am working on some nifty little buttons and if anyone wants to sponsor my little challenge I would love it.

The sign up for the challenge will be next week. There will be a second post that will allow you to link your September Stash-busting awesomeness on this site. Once the contest is complete the judging will begin.

I am still working out who and how everything will be judged, but it will all come together. I have a few awesome bloggers that I would love to see be judges on this one :).

Thank you and I can not wait to get the full details up on this site next week.

You all rock.

I need to bust some stash! Seriously...you know it's bad when you're headed from vacation and are at the airport worrying that your suitcase will be overweight because of supplies you bought on vacation.

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!
