Spray Paint




Large frame, good for holiday decor?
A bottle of this...
I'm glad I remembed the tip to put tacks in the bottom of the frame to elevate it
Ready to rock
So white and pretty
door hanger. This was a Halloween or V-day sale at Target. Great metal hanger, not great colors
Nice and blended, right?!

Homemade Belt Hange


I decided it was time to make myself a belt hanger. So easy. A wood pant hanger and some cup hooks. Screw them in by hand (tiring!) and wa la.



Clothes Tweaking


Thrift skirt... too long
Check. Cut off extra fabric, sew the slit up a bit and hem.
Thrift skirt... too short
Check. Unstitch hem, sew a band of grey along the fold of the existing skirt's hem. hem the gray and I sewed up the front seam for a more finished look.





Plain black tee
Liquid stitch some lace
Wa-la. A bit more visual interest and no sewing!




Plain tee (see my hand prints in it where I smoothed it out? Creepy!)
Moon and stars 
(Issues with it: stars were too small, bottle dripped bleach, paper too thin, too much bleach sprayed out. Next time I will use cardboard and splatter paint it on)
Cheap silk remnant from thrift store.
Three straight lines and a silky pillowcase
Using this tutorial and some thrift remnant fabric, I made a maxi skirt.
Ignore the messy bed.

Twice now I've removed the "extra button" from the inside of my pj tops and sewed them above teh highest button and made a button hole so that my pj tops are a bit more modest.

My old mace container. Dustin wanted me to rig it for his belt for when he's out fishing.
Check.
