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

I Made Shorts

-
Sometimes there is another website that just makes you drool. One that you religiously check daily and swoon over everything they do.

For me that website is MADE:



I love this site and wish I could be as talented and creative as Dana.

So this week I tried one of her patterns. I am not a pattern maker because I just would never have the time and ability to work out the measurements. I am in great awe of anyone who can make such amazing things and on top of that create a pattern for them.

I used this pattern:



I added in the pockets from her Kids Pants with Pockets tutorial:


And we have C2's new shorts:









Till Next time!

Creat something!

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
