Sorry for this post being late. That whole not having a computer makes this hard. For today's challenge you will get amsuggestion from someone you know on what to craft!
Day 24- Recycled items
I have started working on finding ways to use up clothing that I would have otherwise donated or thrown out. I took an old sweated that was too brigand made the sleeves into wine bottle covers. I know this sounds weird but I'll post photos as soon as I can... Stupid computer... Grumble... Grumble... Grumble...

Day 24- Recycled Items
For today's challenge you will take something that you would usually recycle and craft with it!
Day 23- Something you've never done before
I'm going to preface this post by letting you know that my computer died again... gah. Yes I only had it for 10 days and the LCD screen needs to be replaced. So I'm without a computer for another one to two weeks. So annoying.
For this challenge I had lots of ideas, but as I was working on stuff yesterday, my sewing machine broke. Instead of continuing my crafting I took a break to fix it. I took it all apart, cleaned it out, and put it back together... and for some reason that fixed it. I dunno. These things confuse me... technology that is. Since it was the first time I ever worked on my sewing machine, I'm claiming that as my crafting for the day. Also I don't have a computer... boo.

Day 23- Something You've Never Done Before
Today we are going to craft with materials or a technique that you've never done before. Have you always wanted to knit? Or maybe you've never sewn anything in your life? Or never picked up a paintbrush? Well today's the day you're going to get to try it out!
Day 22- Pinterest Finds
As I stated yesterday I love Pinterest, as I'm sure most of you out there do also. My craft is another Christmas gift! I bent and glued together old forks and spoons to create this cell phone holder.
Here's the original:
And here's mine! Their photo is better than mine, but I still think it's pretty cool!

Day 22- Pinterest Finds
Pinterest is the best thing ever. If you aren't on it... you should be. End of story. For today's crafting go to your boards and pick something. Though if you're like me, a lot of the previous crafting has already been from Pinterest...
Day 21- Vintage Inspiration
For my vintage inspiration, I made another pencil skirt. This time it is a gray plaid fabric and is still high-waisted. I love my high-waisted skirts. I can wear them with a shirt tucked in and look like I'm straight out of Mad Men or I can wear a shirt over it and it just looks like a nice fitting pencil skirt. I probably have 1/2 a dozen of these in my closet now...

Day 21- Vintage Inspiration
I pretty much love anything vintage. So for today's crafting we are going to use vintage finds as our inspiration to make something. Pick a decade and get to crafting!
Day 20- Kitchen
For this challenge I cooked up some tortellini. This one was actually done a bit earlier in the week because I wasn't going to be home during this challenge. I made some fresh bread! I got a bread maker from our wedding registry and it has been wonderful. You can just layer the ingredients on top of each other and hit go!

Day 20- Kitchen
Use your kitchen as inspiration for your crafting. Do you need new towels? Or want to make a cake for dinner? Or breakfast? Or you can just pick something in your kitchen to update!
Day 19- For Yourself
For myself today, I revamped another one of my shirts. This one was also too long like the last one I revamped. I cut it shorter and added that extra fabric to the sleeves. And of course added lots of dog hair... because it wouldn't be one of my shirts without having Zoey's hair all over it.

Day 19- For Yourself
After crafting something for someone else yesterday, today your get to make something just for you! What have you been wanting? Go out and make it!
Day 18- For Someone Else
I had an idea of what I was going to craft for today, but I couldn't get the supplies in time for it. And I can't really say what it is in case that person reads this blog... So I worked on another Christmas gift! Fruit infused alcohol!
I've got clementine and raspberry rum, pomegranate and blueberry vodka, and cranberry and poblano whiskey. These have to sit for another week or so to be done, but they look pretty in the mean time!
