Mama Whale & Baby whale

I was surfing through the web and came upon a Japanese blog that made these whales from denim jeans.  So I did my best to sketch out a pattern from what I saw and went to over to Goodwill and bought me some jeans for $1.  This was so much fun!!!!  You can get the whale to have two tones by reversing the jeans inside out. 

I have been so blessed...

It has been a while since I've posted, so let me give you the quickest summary to caught everyone up to speed.

1.  My computer broke so that's the main reason I couldn't blog.  But thanks to an awesome husband, got a brand new spanking computer for Christmas.

2.  Then, I had a BABY!!!!!  ( I think that summarizes everything)  Mommy, Daddy, Baby and Lemon are all doing great.  We thank everyone for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.

3.  Then, my BIG sister got MARRIED !!!!

4.  Then, we celebrated the birth of Jesus with friends and family back in Los Angeles.  That was a blast.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!!!!

Reupholster Picture Frames

Bought old/cheap frames from Goodwill/Salvation Army and reupholster them with muslin fabric that I bought at Hobby Lobby for $1.50/yrd.  Just outline the frame onto the fabric and then cut out an extra 1" border from the outside and inside of the frame and spray mount it to the frame structure.  Done!  Super easy!

Thank you so much for these wonderful memories. 
I wonder if it'll help to take these pictures as a happy reminder during my upcoming labor pains.  

DIY Wrapping Paper Ribbons

Realized how expensive cute wrapping paper ribbons can get, so I decided to make them!!!  Instead of throwing our old magazines away, I save them and either use them as cutting mats, place them under my projects when spray gluing or in this case... make ribbons.  

I've made a really simple tutorial of this project.  I'm not big on "step by step" instructions and don't like instructions with lots of verbiage.  The icons (top right corner of image) will let you know what you will need.  Since the dimensions on the image isn't clear, I'm restating them below.

(3) 10" X 3/4"(3) 10" X 3/4"

(2) 9" X 3/4" 
(1) 3 1/2" X 3/4"

I believe that everyone has their own methods/tricks and "know hows" of getting things to work best for them.  Enjoy !!!
