For Maggie

This post is dedicated to Maggie. Not because of what I found here that I want to make REALLY bad. But because I found it through a link to a wedding website.  


The project I'm lusting after.  
As you can see the above project is totally me and I am determined to try it out with their excellent step-by-step directions.  Although I must say they seem like a little more work for just an ordinary candle holder so they may have to hold out for a special occasion.  

The tutorial was posted on www.WeddingBee.com which is why it immediately makes me think of Maggie.  And while the blog interests me little because it feeds from the whole site what's great is the bio tab because it has buttons that lead to these lists of ideas and articles on how the couple met to the honeymoon. 

For example if I go to www.weddingbee.com->click on the "Bio" tab->click on "Bouquets" I end  up at this page full of photos of bouquets each with a link with a post by the bride who uploaded the photo.  There's even a DIY section and that's fun to look at just for fun stuff like this Mad Lib Guestbook idea!

I think its pretty inspiring...I hope you find some fun ideas Maggie!

Shoes

Shoes Shania Twain Tell me about it... Ooh! Men. Have you ever tried to figure them out? Huh, me too, but I ain't got no clue How 'bout you? Men are like shoes Made to confuse Yeah, there's so many of 'em I don't know which ones to choose (yeah, yeah, yeah) Ah, sing it to me If you agree There's the kind made for runnin' The sneakers and the low down heels The kind that will keep you on your toes And every girl knows how that feels (yeah, yeah, yeah) Ouch, ah, sing it with me Chorus: You've got your kickers and your ropers Your everyday loafers, some that you can never find You've got your slippers and your zippers Your grabbers and your grippers Man, don't ya hate that kind? Some you wear in, some you wear out Some you wanna leave behind Sometimes you hate 'em And sometimes you love 'em I guess it all depends on which way you rub 'em But a girl can never have too many of 'em It's amazing what a little polish will do...

DIY Wood Stencil Sign

I purchased these cute blank signs from Target--here's what the original item looked like.  The original item Then I created a stencil using 631-this is removable vinyl.  I chose removable vinyl mostly because I had ordered a large number of a color I didn't intend to use again and had extra, also it works great for things like ceramics where you're worried 651 permanent vinyl won't remove easily.  The key for me was USE TRANSFER TAPE.  In the past a majority of my bleeding has been from the centers of the letters because I was individually placing them by hand and they weren't sealing properly.  Transfer tape not only removes me individually placing letter centers, but it also gives you a better seal.  Just take an old credit card and burnish your transfer tape FOREVER.   I had to use two layers of transfer tape cause my roll isn't wide enough.  I mean, burnish until you think there can't possibly be any bubbles under that piece of viny...

Crafting Fails

Let's be honest, sometimes things just don't go as planned.  Like when you have this brilliant idea to do screen printing on the cheap and your ink runs everywhere.  Ink bleeding everywhere Or when you melt the fabulous tote bag you were working on.  Melted Mandala Sometimes you just have to admit that you don't know what you're doing and Google it.  And that's what I do.  So look out for some tutorials in the near future of things that I've probably screwed up previously and finally gave in and Googled how to do.   What sort of things have you failed at recently?
