Tom girl

With the Patriots in the Superbowl, I was on the hunt this week for the perfect Patriots t shirt. There were a ton of tees meant for girls that fit the "pink hat" category, but I managed to find a great one in a men's small, and after bringing it home, I immediately cut the crew neck off, and shortened the waist.  But I wanted to show how to make the waist fit using a men's tee when there are no smalls available.  So I cut up an old men's Bruins tee and created a draw string pull in the back.


Hey is that a table cloth? Nope... It's a "shirt."

Put the "shirt" on and pinch the fabric together on your back, at your waist. Make dots where the material should touch.

I cut off names, because I don't know who the heck any of them are. Cut the neck small; it stretches larger than you'd imagine..

Save the layer that you cut off the back.  You'll use it to tie the back.

Make two folds and cut REALLY TINY holes where it will lace.  The holes stretch huge.

Lace that stuff that you cut off the neck down the corset you created on your back. You could also use shoe lace, which is "sporty." Whatever that is...

Suddenly you're incredibly, incredibly good looking.

A white Christmas


White shells from any craft store make the perfect ornaments for a tree in a window that overlooks the ocean.

Grapes




This costume was so much fun to dance in, and I encourage anyone to use my idea next year. I altered a thrift store 1980s prom dress to fit me, then blew up balloons, which I sewed into the flaps of the dress by wrapping the thread around the base of the balloons before making stitches. I made a headband using Christmas decorations, and had the perfect matching green pumps.




Dress: $4.50  Balloons: $3  Glitter for eye makeup: $1  Decorative hair leaves: $2  Total: $10.50

Water for Elephants

... made me want to cut my hair, curl it, and lounge around in silk dresses with small glasses of champagne.

I think these are brillz.

What was old...


is new again.




While browsing apartment decor at urbanoutfitters.com, I discovered a truly inspirational blog full of entries from people who submitted their before and after projects in hopes of winning a gift certificate. I thought this one was a great idea. 
There are many other ideas here. They range from furniture to clothing.
