enie meenie- i couldn't agree more! but i like it because i garden on the sunny days and then the rain does all the work of watering. and i think rain water is always better!
I just got back from Portland, where the weather, of course, was cold and rainy, but it was a truly delightful change from the constant warmth of Florida.
We've been having some weird temps here,cold mornings,hot days,then hot mornings and cold nights,etc.It's getting a little annoying.
Anyways,love the pic of the girls…Soul has grown so quickly…at least you'll get to have another baby around in a few months,but like your other girls,he/she will most likely be a toddler before you know it.I just wish babies stayed babies a little bit longer. 🙂
My father just dug up our old Polaroid camera in the garage, and I'm SO excited to use it! The only problem (and I'm sure this is a common one) is that they don't make the film anymore and it is so costly online! Do you have recommendations for where I could find more affordable film?
I have a large growing pile of fabric scraps. I refuse to throw them away because I am sure they can be used for something. I have been seeing different types of interesting necklaces made of buttons, beads, and fabric. Then, I figured why not make one out of my scraps...
I think it made my white shirt a little less boring. This was so quick and easy to make.
Â
How to make a recycled scraps necklace (which is very similar to the straps on my braided tablecloth bag):
1. Take your scrap fabric, I cut a .5''-1'' snip and tear the rest of the fabric down for a nice frayed edge. Used 3 different fabrics for each strand.
2. Take 3 of the torn pieces and tie the ends together with a rubber band.Â
3. Braid the 3 pieces together and tie ends together with rubber band when done.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 for more strands. Remember you can make the strands any length you want, if run out of fabric, just weave more into the braid.
5. Once all the strands you want are braided, gather one end of each strand together and straight stitch together with sewing machine. Repeat for the other ends of the strands. Snip off any excess.
6. Gather ends of the necklace and sew together (snip excess) or a ribbon can be sewn at the ends to be able to tie the necklace closed, but I just sewed both ends together.Â
7. Voila! A nice way to make use of all your lovely scraps.
Sorry if the directions get you a little lost, but it really is easy. I promise. Maybe I should put some in the shop. Please share any other good ideas you may have of things that can be made with scraps. I would love to hear (read) them!
the weather has been playing games here in Southern Cali, I am a little confused about our relationship haha.
stay dry!

Hey!
My father just dug up our old Polaroid camera in the garage, and I'm SO excited to use it! The only problem (and I'm sure this is a common one) is that they don't make the film anymore and it is so costly online! Do you have recommendations for where I could find more affordable film?
Thanks!
