    6 Ways to Repurpose Shoulder Pads

    February 25, 2013 / 38 Comments

    Q:  You do a LOT of refashions where you remove shoulder pads.  What do you do with them when you’re done?  Do you just throw them away? A:  Oh heck no!  Shoulder Pads are awesome (just not on your shoulders)! Here are a few things you can make out of ’em! Puppy Poo Bag Holder When I take Douglas for his walks, I want to be a good neighbor and clean up after the little guy.  I could either buy…

    Day 344: Perfect Pillowcases

    June 8, 2012 / 10 Comments

    As you guys know by now, I’m in hardcore Get My New Abode Looking Nice Mode!  🙂  While unpacking, I uncovered these pillowcases I bought crazy madcakes on sale. I love how nice & soft these are, but as you can see, cream pillowcases on a mostly white duvet aren’t exactly exciting.   :/  Life is too short for boring bedding, my friends! I reached for a box of dye… …and prepared a wee dye bath in a pitcher. I wadded…

    Day 305: Scrap Bustin’ Coasters

    April 30, 2012 / 5 Comments

    When I woke up today, I felt icky and sore, with a fever and flu-like symptoms.  This was my first time being sick while single in a loooooong time.  :/  I forgot how miserable having to get up, put on clothes (because I still have some vestige of dignity, dammit!), and drive to the store to get meds and chicky noodle soup is when you’re sick.  It actually took me about three tries, as every time I’d try to get…

    Day 290: Mad About My Me-Made Makeup Bag

    April 15, 2012 / 8 Comments

    I’ve decided that I probably spend 40% of my life rifling through my bag looking for my lip gloss, powder, or chapstick.  That’s a lot of time, folks.  :/  It’s time to get organized! I began with this pretty lace skirt: But this pretty skirt was hiding a pretty obvious secret… So…I could just shorten the skirt and move right along with my life, but I decided to go a different route.  🙂 I turned the skirt inside-out and pinned…

    Day 206: A Perfectly Padded Pouch

    January 22, 2012 / 7 Comments

    Alright…so I’m more than 200 days in on this project, and despite my best efforts, I’m still plagued with a big drawer full of leftover shoulder pads!  This includes these guys from Day 178  and Day 180! If you check out Day 4,  , you’ll notice I’m wearing a really fetching set of blue glass beads.  These are the last thing my Grandmother gave me before she passed away.  They originally belonged to my Great-Grandmother, and for these reasons, I…
