DIY eveything!

Hi all you people I wish would read my blog!

I just wanted to post some of my goals for 2011.

1. Grow KMD and make some money!
2. Help my mom grow WFRB supplies!
3. Lose 40 pounds by September!


I will save everyone from dull posts about stuff but I will make sure to keep people up to date!

I got some aprons done this week and have them posted in my Etsy shop! WOO HOO!

Also here are some cool finds from the thrift store. I will post afters when I get something done with them!

The back has 10 light switch covers in it. I think that will be pretty fun. THis mini shelf! Each of them were 1/2 off!


Mini vintage serving tray, and this package... it has some sort of vinyl things in it but it also had 2 things of powdered Mod Podge.. YAY!


This is my FAV thing... and autographed AC Green pic... how awesome is that? I love the Suns and 90s Suns were so fab! My dad is jealous.

Then finally.... the paint on this is I don't know.. it's REALLY ugly but kinda looks like a bathroom I think haha. I just had to get it though.. I could see all the potential and I LOVE LOVE boxes. I collect them!

A quick post for a quick project! We have a bathroom in our bedroom and the shower ha a window. When the dun come up it shines it right in your face and wakes you up!

That is no fun at 5AM! When we forget to shut the door before bed its a grumpy morning for whoever wake up to the blinding sun!

I have TONS of fabric you know... o I decided I would make some curtains. I got the rod at Big Lots for $2.50, and I had the fabric that I got for something like $.80 a yard.

I measured my window it was about 42 inches so I decided to make the curtain 88 inches long.

I then measured the width and added 3 inches for the bottom hem and the top. I made a small 1/4" hem at the bottom and at the top I folded it over about 1/4" and then about 1.5 or 2 inches to fit the small rod.

The whole thing took about 30 mins and now we don't have to remember to shut the door or go blind1


Total cost: $3.20

WOW! Sorry.. I sure tend to go missing a lot! I spend so much time reading other awesome blogs that I forget to update my own! I probably follow 100 blogs!

I just love all the awesome creative stuff I can find in blog land! From refinishing furniture to sewing to thrift store resellers.

I used my Netflix to watch American Pickers.. Hello that show is awesome! I also watch Pawn Stars and Storage Wars.. I really love Storage Wars! haha.

Anyways scroll down and see my thrift store chair and trinket box before pictures. Thanks to all these blogs I decided I could fix them up.

So here is the big reveal! I hope you like! First up the trinket box.


I lined the 2 little dwoor with some cool scrap book paper I found at Hobby Lobby. I might also add though I love to finish things with Mod Podge I hate gluing paper with it because of all the ripples! :(

I did a little sanding to rough it up and even out a few things.. but for the most part I used primer and krylon spray paint!


Next up is my new sewing chair. The other one i had REALLY hurt my back. It was cheap and plastic. This one I can actually use my lumbar support on! As soon as I find some nice thick foam for cheap I will make a cushion to save my butt!


That's it for now! Enjoy. I will post again soon... really this time. Wait don't I say that every time?

My goal for 2011 is to really blog more!

I just wanted to show you guys what I decided to tackle.

I can't wait to share with you guys when it is done!


This hangy thing I got at Savers. It was $5.00 it was super cool if it wasn't that ugly color right?!



Then I got a new chair for my sewing room. The chair I have in there now sucks. It's plastic.. it KILLS my back and my booty. I bought a lumbar support for it but it falls down! :( So it's time to move on!

This chair was $4 at Savers!



I love thrift stores just a LITTLE too much... ok ask my husband. I love them A LOT too much! I was a good girl though.. I didn't go thrifting in a long time. Well becides Halloween time but I didn't even buy anything!

Wish me luck! I hope to have them done by weekends end!

Sorry I haven't updated! I have been CRAZY busy. Just finished up custom order. It was fun and stuff turned out super cute. As far a customs go I only have a few things left... 4 blankets and another towel set.

Here is the custom order.





I have done lots of Christmas gifts but I can't post those yet because my family reads my blog! :) I can show you something I made for home though.. some super cute stockings for Christmas! I LOVE them!



Cute right?! I think I am going to have some sort of contest soon.. give away a few things. I'll post again soon with some cool handmade stuff I have got lately!

Going to work on a new wallet soon.. maybe I'll start cutting it in a few I don't know. I am feeling kinda lazy at the moment!

Be back soon!

So all that plus helping my mom with the supplies! We run her Etsy page and a booth at the SwapSmart at 43rd Ave and Thunderbird. That has been pretty fun. It got me 2 of my custom orders up there!

I just finished this custom order.. isn't it cute!





Can't wait to embroider some more stuff!

Kayden has been soooo horribly sick! Isn't that sad! :( Strep throat.. then he had to get 9 shots in 1 day! His poor arm hurts! I got 3 hours of sleep last night with Kayden in my bed. He was up screaming all night!

I know I haven't posted in a while! I'm sorry. I've been busy! Being a rockstar and what now. haha.

I have some new really awesome aprons posted up on my Etsy and website. :) SO make sure you check it out. I got the most amazing Dr Seuss fabric! :)




I have lots of others up there too that are also AMAZING! So CLICK HERE and go check it out! :)

I also posted some Halloween and spooky hair stuff that is amazing... totally bad ass for everyone! :) I of course have more than that up there too! So yea!




I am in the process of making something new and really totally amazing... lip balm! Most people don't know yet! So feel lucky to read this! It;s going to be good. They will all be free of petroleum witch 99% of other lip balms have.. and it's bad for you! It actually dries out your lips! EAW! I do have my 1st batch of them done but I need to get labels on them!

I sre hope everyone remembers to buy handmade! Support your local artists not Wal-Mart and other giant crappy corporations!



Bye for now! Will be back soon this time!
