Last year I bought a pair of pants at a garage sale. They were prefect in every way, except one. They were too short. So I always planned on doing something with it, but never did. Well I finally did, I made a pair of shorts of them and then with the left over pant…

Tutorial Tuesday: Be Sign
Remember my mosaic family sign?? Well I loved it so much that I decided to use the same technique to make a sign with the 6 Be’s. I used a board that was 2 ft x 2ft and instead of 1 inch squares, I used 1 1/2 inch squares of paper. So using this tutorial,…

Tutorial Tuesday: Standing Chalkboard
Back when I was trying to come up with an idea for a teacher gift, I came up with this. It’s a little chalkboard made out of the back of a frame. It is super easy to make and would look great on any desk or counter. I plan to use mine to celebrate any…

Whatever Wednesday: Spruce up Sunglasses
Last week I picked up some sunglasses at Target for $5. They are very basic, so I thought that I would spruce them up real quick with some rub-ons. It took about 2 minutes and now I love them!! Before After: Here’s another pair that I did. If I had some little rhinestones, I would…
Tutorial Tuesday: Light Switch Frames
With Father’s Day coming up this weekend, I did my usual, made my husband something involving the boys. I have been waiting to use this idea for awhile now, but didn’t know what pictures to put it in. So I was super excited when I came up with the idea to use letters!! This is…

Whatever Wednesday: Father’s Day Ideas
With Father’s Day coming up, I thought I was post about some of the things that I have done for my husband in the past. I made this shirt for him 3 years ago. I used paint but I think that now I would trace their hands on fabric and then put it on the…

Whatever Wednesday: Fun Sign
I found this sign at a garage sale for $.50. I really didn’t care for the saying (especially since I don’t drink!) but I love the color and chunkiness of the frame. So I picked it up. I just quickly painted it black and then mod podged some words onto it. I think it looks…
Tutorial Tuesday: Pants to Apron
A couple of weeks ago, Kimbo from Girl and a Glue Gun linked up this idea. I really don’t wear aprons, but I have a ton old jeans that I don’t use, so I thought that I would give it a try. They turn out so cute and are super easy. I have loved it…
