Kimberly chose Mystery Tween Birthday Party! from Lou Lou Girls. "The concept of a mystery themed party for an 11 year old girl is fabulous! It was enhanced by her mother's creativity in utilizing items on hand, from the Dollar Store, and with the help of her printer. I'm sure the birthday tween was the envy of all her friends."

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Image
Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh...

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas...
