Dreaming...

Image
I always say, "when I get a house one day I will have the ultimate craft room." Although, I do find other pictures on the internet, but this is one I always look back to. I love the brightness in the room and that bookshelf is the bomb! I love how the back of the shelves are decorated. One day I will have a special room. However, right now I will work in what I have because I am blessed to have what I have already. What does your craft space look like? Feel free to comment below. Melissa @ Allthangs

Alterations

Image
I love to alter clothing. One of my projects is turning T-shirts into shrugs.   It is very easy and simple to do. Let's say you have a T-shirt that has been shrunken in the wash or doesn't quite fit like it used to, or my excuse is I just don't like it to be a shirt anymore. Just turn the shirt inside out, with the front side up cut up the middle of the front of the shirt. Then cut around the collar and the top of the shirt. On your sewing machine you will sew a casing of about 1/2 inch by folding over the edges of the shirt that you cut and all the way up around the collar and down the front again. Use a color ribbon that matches the garment and thread it through the casing that you just now made. Pull like a drawstring at the desired size you like and wear with your favorite clothing pieces.  It is very simple to make and you can do this to so many shirts. Give new life to those clothing items that have been a bore lately. ENJOY! Melissa @ Allthangs...

Encouragement for the Day

Things that I would like to make.

Image
I look throughout the web and I will come across items that interest me and inspire me to make something. One day I was looking and googled "Hello Kitty." Among all the many images that came up was the above picture. This would be awesome to make as a set of headphones or a headband. I am going to try this out with some of my many projects that are going on.

Wedding and Groom's cake

Here are the pictures from my brother's wedding. Their wedding cake was really pretty. The grooms cake happened to be my favorite. It was the car from Ghost busters. They are happily married now and I'm very happy for them both.
