Oh my god, shoes.
I’m not even going to try to come up with excuses as to why I haven’t posted in forever… I’ll just get to the good stuff.
My little sister had some shoes she didn’t really care for anymore, and asked if I could re-cover them for her. I had seen an article in Craft Magazine where they had done this so I knew it could be done.
Here are the shoes in question:

Adventures in Bread Making.
I love to bake and cook, but I’ve never tried to make bread before.. that is, until a few days ago. Unfortunately my first loaf turned out wierd and half unbaked, but I’ve since then redeemed myself. The kind of bread I chose for my first ever to bake is challah. When it came to the egg wash and the topping I changed the recipe slightly. I’ll elaborate on that when I get there though.. for now, I’ll talk you through the journey!
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons yeast
1/4 warm water
3 1/2 cups flour sifted
4 eggs (only three go in to the dough, the last is for the egg wash)
1/4 honey
1/4 oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Paper making tutorial
Sorry for the lack of posts recently, school is wrapping up so I’ve been busy with random papers, projects, etc. Hopefully soon I can start to post on a regular schedule rather than so randomly. Anyway, I finally had a little time to craft, so I decided to make paper. Exciting!
Here are some pictures of my journey:

First you need to get your hands on a cassette tape. (more…)

Oldie but goldie: Towel pool bag
Summer is approaching, so I thought I’d share a project I did a while back which would be used at the pool or beach. Basically it’s a beach bag, but it’s also a towel! It folds up into itself (much like a quillow) but it has handles that make it into a bag. You can throw in your sunscreen, flip flops and other goodies you’d bring to the beach and/or pool.
Here’s mine:

My first post and new travel set.
This is my first official post since this blog was created, and I’m oh so excited. I hope you guys like it!
I decided to make a travel set the other day after being inspired to make a straightener cozy by gatheringtwigs over on Craftster.
Here’s everything together:
Forgive me for the dirty mirror, I was too excited to take pictures that I didn’t think to clean it up first!
