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

Becky's Craft Closet Upcycled Hoodie

-
I am so excited for this post! I love upcycling and Becky from Becky's craft closet takes three old shirts and makes them a beautiful boys hoodie! Thank you Becky so much for sharing!

Hello everyone, 
I am Becky from Becky's Craft Closet. 
    This is a blog I started a couple of years ago, to share ideas with friends near and far. also to kind of catalog all of my projects. I love to Create. Its like Therapy for me not to mention it is just kind of second nature to me. I grew up in a crafty home, and never knew there were people who didn't do this kinda stuff. lol. I don't think I am the most creative person out there, but I love to break things down and simplify them for someone who might think its just too complicated.


What made you decide to sign up for the Spring Stashbust?


Hahaha, A picture is worth a thousand words, and well....there are probably like a thousand projects I could do with all this stuff.   I love pretty fabrics, and I can't help it when I see something I just have to have it, its an illness passed down to me from my mother.  Also I can't stand to throw anything away that is still in good condition.

What are your favorite Upcycling projects?

I would love for you to come on over to my blog today to see how I made this adorable sweatshirt from 3 old shirts.

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 they looked like this. Then I u

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
