Monday motivation

The skirt for my Trash2Trends project. I have to sew all the pieces together, but other than that, it is done! The bodice is also finished, and if you noticed, I made a choker from some tubing to fancy the whole thing up. Have you ever tried to iron plastic? Kinda tricky, but so far,…

Lazy Sunday

A little bit of work on my Trash2Trends project today. I'm sewing together some masks to make the bodice and it's coming together quite nicely. This material is so easy to work with and pretty forgiving. I figure just a little bit every day and it'll get done. I should have this done this week,…

Monday motivation

All in all a productive weekend: making progress on my Trash2Trends piece, worked in the garden, made some soup, started on goods for our office Christmas party this week, and had a FAB - O day thrifting with a friend of mine. We walked, we talked, we gnoshed, it was great. I'm putting more into…

Changes

When I went looking for the new site for Se7enBites the other day, I came across a whole new set of graffiti art. I really like this one, it's kind of zen like and reminds me of a mandala. I wish it wasn't covered by so many weeds though. Nevertheless, it has been so nice out…

Monday motivation

So after a very busy day last Saturday, I've been inspired and busy and made a bunch of yoga mat earrings. An easy and relaxing thing to do after such a busy day. Even though I didn't win, I still had an awesome time at the Trash2trends show last week. To be around such creative…

Rest and regroup

After the whirlwind that was last weekend, I am enjoying being outside in our warmer weather and working in the yard. The niece and nephew are over collecting volunteer hours by helping me landscape. With just 2 extra set of hands I have gotten SO much done and the yard is looking really good! Yay!…

Yoga mat earrings

Over the weekend I made some earrings out of pieces of yoga mat for my Trash2Trends project. Here I'll show you what I did to make them.  I used all this stuff you see below: Before I did anything, I cut some small slivers of yoga mat with my rotary cutter, and I punched one small…

Monday Motivation

   Over the weekend I was cutting out pieces for my yoga mat dress for the Trash2trends show next weekend. The mats didn't always lay so flat, so guess what I used to hold them down? See? Who said I don't work out? I had to lift those weights many times yesterday. My arms even…

Lazy Sunday

I'll be doing a lot of this today - sewing and preparing and cleaning and organizing today as I get ready for the Trash2Trends show in 2 weeks. I can hardly believe it. I am so excited for the show! I can't wait to see what everyone else has designed. Puppies will be doing lots…
