11 Months, 7Days, 15 hours.....

11 Months, 7 days, about 15 hours...... until I can buy new clothes.

 (Think of all the cash money I'll save)

 I think this is getting harder because the season is changing, and BECAUSE I CAN"T. ( I have an issue with people telling me I can't do something), but I told MYSELF this one.

 Luckily, Goodwill is having a 123 sale. All clothing is $1.23! YES!!! I can find some new-to-me clothes to re-fashion and all will be right with the world.
Find a Goodwill 123 sale in your area HERE.

 I'm finding things in my closet to change around and turn into amazing new stuff too. Pictures coming soon.

Resale hunting I go!

I satisfied my need to outfit my daughter in the latest fashion, from a huge resale extravaganza! (Leg not included) So my girl is set for summer! (I only spent $40 bucks!)

Graduation Gown not just for Graduates Anymore

This discarded, and loved-no-more graduation gown was calling to me from the thrift store rack. It was perfect for this time of year when teachers say goodbye tearfully to some, and not-so-tearfully to others.  But we love them all anyway.  Heeeeey!  Over here!  Buy me and give me a new life!! So I did. Sally liked the dress much better once I picked off those sleeves! She thought it was a perfect resting spot. I chopped the bottom a bit, folded it twice because it was fray-fray-central, and I hemmed it all up.  I could use the chopped off bottom piece as a belt  or use an existing one.  Choices.... The dress is all white so this time, I decided to go with a darker brown belt,  and some metallic sandals. Congrats and good luck  to all the 2015 graduates!  I'm ready for the ceremony! See you next time!

Studio Trashed to Re-Fashed

I am so grateful to have this amazing space in my basement to create, sew, paint, nap ( Ha! Nap! Wishful thinking), whatever my heart desires, but it has become overwhelmed with STUFF!  All stuff I need mind you...but I think it might be time for a studio-refashion! Look at this mess! More mess.   I have a chandelier in my studio,  thanks to my Sister- in-Law and Bro-in-Law  updating their dining room. Recycle all the way baby!   I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of art....there's worse things for sure! My In-Laws had their kitchen upgraded, and they had a few extra cabinets left over.  They are super awesome, and let me have them for my studio! Wahoo! STORAGE!!!!   The hubs and I hung them up over spring break. That was hilarious because neither of us really knew what to do. We did it though! And no fighting believe it or not!  A little rearranging. A bit of organization, and Voila! Still messy, but a hug...

Lisa's Sew Along with Cassie! Part ONE

  My awesome teacher friend Cassie Stephens, has a great Art Teacher blog. She is an amazing artist, teacher, and she sews too! Cassie had this great idea to start a sew-along. Check out her amazingness at www.cassiestephens.blogspot.com I will be sewing an art apron with her tutorials right along side her. This is my progress so far:   Cassie is all professional and stuff making a pattern for her apron, but I just went ahead and traced an existing one.   Trace and snip! This Apron will end up being reversable! My Grams gave me some amazing fabric, so I am putting it to use for this reversable apron. Thanks Grams! I love you bunches! Very patriotic. Both sides cut. My Grams gave me that electric blue fur fabric, and I thought it would be  super awesome for a pocket. Who doesnt like furry pockets?   I had some of that cute kitty fabric left over from my teacher dress. Check out my Art Teacher Dress H...
