Winners of the Glee Project

Damian and Samuel

I have been waiting forever for Hulu to catch up with The Glee Project and post the finale. I gave up waiting and decided to find it myself. It was very difficult but I finally was able to see that my two favorites won, yeah!! They are both stalker worthy, if I was 18 again. I am so glad that they let both of them win a seven episode spot on glee. You just can't go wrong with a blue eyed, Irishman and then a sexy, dreadlock wearing, rocker. But I was so pissed when they gave Alex and Lindsay a two episode spot. I want to rip my eyes out just thinking about having to watch Lindsay on Glee. She is the type of girl you wish to experience multiple embarrassing moments in public. Anyway, I am excited for Glee to start so I can see Damian and Samuel!!!!

Halloween Costume for Under $5.00

So last Saturday I hit the jackpot at a garage sale. I got four bags packed full of fabric for $2.00. I found a ton of fabric to use for dresses and skirts but my favorite was this furry blue and green fabric. So yesterday I went to work on Brody's Halloween costume. I didn't have a pattern so I traced one of his pj's and then designed a tail and hoodie. I am so happy with how it turned out. Brody loved it too, he wouldn't take it off. I am going to make a matching candy bag and then we are ready for Halloween. I used a half a bag of stuffing for the tail and horns, around a $1.50, fabric was $0.25, and thread was probably $1.00, Total = $2.75!!!!

Felt Birthday Shirt

I tried finding a cute birthday shirt for Brody. There was a lot of cute little girl ones but the boy selection was fugly. So I decided to make one. Once again I busted out my felt and embroidery thread and created a one-of-a-kind shirt for my one-of-a-kind babe.

Felt Onesies

I had a lot of fun making these for Brody. These were so easy. I just cut out shapes with felt and sewed them on with embroidery thread. He lived in onesies for the first few months because it was so hot.

Felt Food

I had a lot of fun creating this felt food for my friend's one year old daughter. Jeni got a cute purple shopping cart to put it all in. I created my own patterns by looking at some samples online. You can buy patterns for around $5.00 but I never use patterns, trial and error works best for me. I drew the shapes on paper and then pinned the pieces together to see if the shape was right. Then when the pattern was right I cut it out of felt. I then used embroidery thread and sewed everything by hand. It took me about two days and a lot of Medium on Netflix and the shopping cart was filled. I made Brody a set because he had so much fun with them.

Jeni's Jewelry Tree

Before:

My best friend, Jeni, is starting a new adventure with Lia Sophie Jewelry. She is in need of displays for her home parties to show off her jewelry. I found this tree at a garage sale in Fairview for $1.00 and saw some potential. A little spray paint later and a new jewelry tree was created.

Garage Sale Shelf Makeover

Shelf Before:

I found this shelf in Fairview, UT at a garage sale. Small towns have awesome garage sales and are never over priced, I paid $1.00. I picked up a can of blue spray paint at Walmart for about $3.50. After a little sanding, two coats of spray paint, and a little acrylic detailing a new shelf was born.
