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

Organize Me

-
Seriously help I need to get way more organized.

Part of the reason I love doing the stashbusting series is that I finally get my craft area in shape, which I desperately need.

I will be working on the calendar of awesome crafters who will be sharing some stashbusting goodness on the blog. I know I am excited.

I will also be rolling out the official rules for the stashbusting challenge. I will be having a prize or two but nothing too big. It's more about being a master stashbuster and clearing up your lovely stockpile of scraps than winning prizes. Unless I uncover a ton of stashbusting goodness I feel the need to send you.

In other news I have some of my T-shirt Dresses over at a store called Crafty Goodness in Lakewood Ohio...





I am really excited because not only is this the first store any of my items have been in but I already had someone email me and ask where she could get more of my dresses. I am so psyched. The craft show circut was not really working for me but i think a store, well I am going to have to start pumping out the product because this might just work for me. On that note I need to get some items in my ETSY shop.

Maybe that should be a stashbusting challenge, get in gear and list some things.

Till tommorrow,

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

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,
