Your Ideas!!!

The idea of this post is for yall to help me come up with a crafty way to use all these things without having to throw them away. I will choose 1 or more of your ideas, make something and post some photos of the finished product and the process of how it was put together.  Is anyone interested?

These are the materials.
1. Denim
2. Cereal Box
3. Scrap Fabric
4. Tuna fish can
5. Floral wire
6. Magazine

I have all types of adhesive and a sewing machine, so anything you can think of I'm sure I can put together.
I can't wait to hear your ideas!!!

Happy Crafting!!!

Help please!!

Ok, does anyone see the annoying shadow that borders my posts and my gadgets on my sidebar?  I got rid of the borders and changed the beveling to transparent aswell, but it doesn't seem to be working.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of those shadows?

I would also like some advice on my header, I would like to change it but I don't have any ideas on how to make it look nicer.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance!!

Denim bracelet

This was a quick throw together project that I did last night it took me maybe 20 minutes all together.  This was more of a way to get me back into sewing.  I haven't sewn anything in over a month and my machine was crying out for some attention.  All I used were things that I had on hand, scrap pieces of denim from an old skirt and leather samples I got for free from a garage sale.  This is a 100% upcycle project.  I'm not much of a bracelet person so this one will probably go to my oldest niece.  I plan on making a few more so I will come up with a tutorial in the near future incase anyone is interested.  I hope everyone is haveing a great Wednesday and I hope the rest of you week is even better.

So sorry for the horrible photos, I was having to shoot one handed so they didn't turn out as clear as they should have.  So until next time.......
Happy Crafting!!!

Vintage Sheet rag quilt

This is the first quilt I've ever made.  I have to say I am very proud of it considering it was a spur of the momment idea.  It's made completly out of thrift store vintage sheets and vintage aprons that belonged to my grandmother.  I finished the quilt around the 1st of December but I'm just now getting around to blogging about it.  I hope yall like it, I plan on making more quilts in the future maybe some more complicated ones considering this one was pretty easy.

Happy Crafting!!!!

Thank you Ladies!!

I really appreciate the kind words and the boost of confidence!!  I did alot of thinking last night and thought of a few things that I should do to my blog so I hope that with in the next couple of months I get them all done and can get a few more followers and a few more comments on my blog.  In the process of all of the thinking, I realized that I haven't been commenting nearly enough on the blogs that I follow either.  While realizing this it also dawned on me that if I feel this way I'm sure there are a few other people out there that feel the same way so not only am I going to work on my blog but I'm also going to start commenting on other people's blogs aswell.  

Last month was a very tough month for me because for 1 I've never had much Christmas spirit (it is not my favorite holiday), but I try my best because of my boys and I know how excited they get about it. My second reason is because of the loss of my cousin.  I didn't go into much detail before about how he passed away, but I feel like I need to so that I can start to move on.  He passed away on the 7th of December.  He was 27 years old and was more of a brother to me than a cousin.  He took his own life and this has left many unanswered questions and many unsaid things.  I hope that no one ever has to experience this type of tradgety, but if you do or if you have my heart and prayers go out to you because I know how horrible this is to accept.

I know this post is a little on the depressing side, but I promise to post happier more up beat things in the future!!  Just stick with me please as I work to improve my blog this year!!!

I love you J more than words can ever express and I miss you more than anyone will ever know, but you will live on in my memories and in my heart forever!!!     ‎"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal."

Anyone out there?

This is my first post for 2011.  I'd like to say that I'm excited to start a new year, but I'm really not.

2010 started great but ended pretty tragicly.  My family and I found a new home, bought a new (to us) vehicle, I started this blog and I lost my cousin tragicly.  This blog doesn't seem to be very popular so I'm going to try to keep it going in the new year but there are no promises being made.  It is very discouraging to keep at something that doesn't seem to be interesting to anyone other than me.  So we'll see what happens this year.

A very sad day!!

Early this morning my cousin passed away.  He was a wonderful caring cousin, a wonderful dad, son and brother!!! 
  I use to have a tendency to fall asleep on my couch late at night and forget to close and lock my front door and he would drive by every night, come in and wake me up and threaten to beat me if I didn't start closing my door.  He was such a great person and he will be missed so much!!! I will always love you J.  and I will always miss you!!!!
