Just Like That, I am Back

 If I said I was back, would you believe me? Blogging is complicated, and there are so many "get rich quick" blogging schemes that make it look like you are a lost cause if you are not currently earning money blogging. And why are you even blogging if you don't have multiple streams of income and entertainment. If you don't have a brand? I do have this website, but I do not have Instagram, Twitter, TikTok (you don't want to see me dance), or whatever is next.  Heck, I haven't even updated this since before the pandemic. So why am I here, writing about being back and then, probably ghosting for another two years? Life has been rough. It's been painful and overwhelming. I am so thankful for you my readers, or what is left of you. I am so thankful you are reading this post. I am so thankful that you are still committed to making the world a more exciting and more sustainable place.  Keep up-cycling my friends, and you never know, I might be back again with an

1-11-11 How Cool is That

So I am totally loving the date. I mean one one one one one...five wonderful ones! This is not going to happen again until 2-22-22 and as cool as that is it is a ways away.

So let's celebrate the oneness of you!

What is the one thing you love about yourself...

I'll start. I love that I have the ability to create so many fun things, from my amazing children, to a cool kitchen from a nightstand, to clothes (although I need to make clothes for me a little more often.

What do you love about yourself?

Don't forget there will be 11-11-11 in 10 months!
Um, what I love about me - I have to say my sense of humor. We laugh everyday and I think it improves our lives. Thanks for making me think about that.

Thanks for the opportunity to think about the "goodness" of me!

I love that in the last 5 years I have lost 130 pounds....AND KEPT IT OFF! It was a challenge and I struggle with it all the time! But I did it! So proud of myself!

I know I'll definately never forget 1/1/11. It's the day my state flooded the worst in 118 years. The water is still rising and so far 10 are dead with over 60 missing.

My house is safe, but I have family and friends who have lost their houses and they are still under water. And to top it all off my brother is supposed to get married in 3 days. So far the reception has been cancelled and we're almost certain the wedding ceremony will need to be cancelled also.

Will definately never forget it.

Hello lovely T-shirt Diary followers!  The Pink Bat Girl is here to rescue you from plain old scrap wood and boredom today with a fun Memorial Day upcycled project!  My block wood is courtesy of an old toddler bed that all of my kids used from Ikea.  The bed has been given away, however, we still had the old wood that went under the mattress.  I thought it would make some really great wood blocks! I took this old wood and my hubby's handy dandy saw and cut them into my desired lengths!.. I love power tools!  So if you would like to make some of these fun decorations here is what you need! Ingredients wood blocks scrapbook paper cut into small strips red, white and blue paint Mod Podge craft glue jewels Start by cutting your wood into blocks.  Paint the top block red, the second block white and the last block blue.

Double Run Upcycled T-Shirt

About two months ago I was messaged by an awesome follower telling me about a contest that a named Double Run was having. They challenges five loyal listeners to upcycle a few T-shirts. I am always up for the challenge, but since I take forever to read my email I missed the contest. Well they sent me a T-shirt to work my magic on and I accepted the challenge. REALLY BIG SHIRT I looked at all the upcycles they had in the contest and they didn't have anything for kids. Sure it's not the Wiggles or Fresh Beat Band. I had just purchased the Lil Blue Boo Racerback Tunic Dress Pattern and I gave it a try. Here is what I created:  It actually looks much better on.... Back... And the front.... Playing the Guitar (She reminds me of Brittney Murphy in Clueless)  I am pretty excited at how it turns out, my daughter loved it, and I got to try out a new pattern :) Thanks,
