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

Jen from Lil Mop Top's Girly Apron

-
I am Drooling over this awesome project our guest blogger Jen from Lil Mop Top put together.



That is right I said it, drool! I am in love with this girly apron. I have some stash I could definitely bust to make one of these beauties.

I am in LOVE with this apron!


What am I talking about, well read on my friends because I would like to introduce you to Jen of Lil Mop Top.

Jen from Lil Mop Top (isn't she adorable!)
So lets learn a little more about Jen and why she joined the stashbusting challenge...


1. I have way too much craft stuff for a small space so I thought joining in on the Spring Stashbust might motivate me to start getting crafty and putting all the fun goodies to good use! ...and I think my husband might start questioning why I keep buying stuff yet I am not making much with it! :)

2. My favorite upcycling projects are anything that uses old clothes and giving them a facelift or repurposing them altogether. My two boys seems to stain/ruin clothes often so I hate for the whole item to go to waste for a small blemish! I also have tons and tons of t-shirts from college and from teaching at a high school (where every small event constitutes a new t-shirt!) so I have tons of perfectly good cotton material to use for making toys or clothes for children.

3. I blog because I love to share what I am doing for my family to see and to share instructions for other crafty people. I guess I will always be a teacher at heart and like to use my blog as a new venue for 'teaching'. I also love reading other blogs and have learned so much just by reading directions and then figuring it out on my own. Hopefully people can use my instructions to start making easy projects. If I can do it, anyone can!

So hop on over to Jen's blog and check out how to make this beauty

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. When the paint it dry start Mod Podging your blocks with the scraps of scrapbook paper in a quilty kind of design. When mine were done they looked like this. Then I u

If you are visiting this party I know you are up for a good challenge. Please sign up for Stashbusting September . You know you have some stash to bust! It's time for Upcycled Awesome, your green linky party dedicated to upcycled crafts and more.  As always you have until Saturday at Midnight to post your upcycled project. It was Sunday, but I think you can get your linky on and call it a day sooner. You guys do rock. Upcycling is taking something you already have, something rescued from a thrift store, garage sale, or even your neighbors garbage and making it into something new. For more information on upcycling check out this post . Here are a few of my favorites from last week. If you are featured please do not forget to grab a button. I just discovered Freckled Laundry , and boy am I loving this website. She offers five uses for that old pair of tights that you spent $12 on and can no longer wear (she had twins, my excuse would be too much ice cream). Knit S
