Gardening Log Week 1 and Week 2

I am a huge self taught garden enthusiast! I love caring for and watching plants grow, and especially produce veggies and herbs I can eat!

Last year my garden was a HUGE success, so I have been working on this years garden and I am already super happy with the outcome! 

Check out my gardening videos on YouTube, and keep updated by subscribing :]

I will be making new video updates every Wednesday!

WEEK 1

WEEK 2

Rugrats Handmade Button Up Shirt

I made this shirt from a pattern I designed, and used an old Rugrats bed sheet I thrifted at Savers. After making the shirt I realized how cool it is that, this fabric (bed sheet) won't be made ever again. I used to love watching this show when I was little, so I am super excited I get to wear a shirt that reminds me of happy days when I was young. The colors are also super cool and bright. 

I am thinking about making another top, a skirt, or even maybe some small wrist wallets with the left over fabric. I know there are a ton of 90's kids out there like me that would be psyched to rock some Rugrats apparel!

What I Made Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016

For Christmas I got a ukulele, which I have been dying to own. For the past week now, I have been obsessed with learning how to play. It's been a great way to relieve stress, and helps me stay focused on one thing only, and clear my head, although I don't think my neighbors appreciate my late night practice session.
I have really grown to love this little instrument and like everything I own, I wanted to decorate it. Anytime I see a blank space I instantly think of what I could painting or stick on it, to make it pretty.
This past week I decided to paint one of my newer designs on the back of my ukulele, and it came out beautifully!

I also mustered up the courage to make a quick video to see what I sound like playing. I surprisingly picked up reading music again very quickly. This video is my first attempt at the song, so it kind of shows how fast I can pick up the chords and learn new songs. This was also another late late night practice session. I started playing around with new songs around 11:00pm and when I check the clock it was 1:30am, I guess time does really fly by when your having fun!

New Canvas Painting - I Only Have Eyes For You ...

This was a huge project for me, and the largest scale piece of art I have designed. I found a scrap canvas that had already been painted, and I snagged it before it was going to be tossed.

I based this painting off of a piece of art that I had saved a while back on Pinterest, and I made painted it in my own style of art.

I am a huge fan of pop art, bold lines and colors, not a ton of shading, white highlights, and of course glitter.

I wish I was able to capture the amount of glitter this painting has. The majority of the red " blood" has a thick layer of red glitter and it looks so cool.

Check out the art I based this off of HERE

Ever since sharing this on Facebook I have had a crazy amount of requests for custom work. If you are interested in any custom art or this design itself, I would be more than happy to do it!

Dream Journal

Lately I have been having extremely vivid dreams and I am a firm believer, that dreams have meaning to them. A few nights ago I had a dream that was very memorable, and when I awoke I remember nearly everything that the dream entailed. In this dream two specific animals, a buck and a black bear appeared a handful of times and I realized I needed to start keeping a dream journal.

I use to keep a dream journal years ago, and I have no clue where it is anymore, so since it is the new year I figured no better time to start a dream journal then now.

At any point in the past that I have had dreams that I can remember upon awakening, I always obsessively search online for the meaning of what I had seen in the dream. The crazy dreams I have been having seem to have positive meanings so I am hoping that I will be able to relate some of the dreams I have had to upcoming and future life events.

I made my main dream journal that I keep by my bedside with a cereal box. I folder and cut lined paper to fit the size, stapled the paper together and used hot glue to attach the paper to the cover. I used an old brown paper shopping bag to wrap the cover, and I took some scrap fabric and a hole puncher to wrap it closed, and to add a personal touch. I had some left over paper scraps, so I made a few mini notebooks that I will definitely put into use.

I have had continuous dreams over the past week that have been so vivid, so I am super happy to have made my dream journal to write it all down.
