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

Makeup bag tutorial

For all of you who don’t remember, or who haven’t seen, my first post was about a travel set that included a makeup bag.  I kinda had to wing it on the bag because I knew the style I wanted it to be, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen a tutorial for it a long time ago.  I promised I’d make a tutorial for the makeup bag according to how I made it, so here it is! :)

All the pieces.

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:
