~Faux Lace Tank-DIY inspiration from PS i made this~

 In the past I've always re-vamped shirts and clothes

by cutting them up, changing the shape, or making them 

something else entirely. I've recently discovered how

much fun it is to re-vamp clothes with fabric paint.

I saw this idea at "P.S. I Made This"

and knew I had to do it.....pronto!

Cute isn't it?

It was so easy. 

I got the tank at Michael's for $4.

The fabric spray paint was on clearance for $3.

I used a lace shirt I had in my closet that I haven't worn

for awhile. It was too tight and I felt roly poly in it.

 I cut the front section off like this

so I could lay it over the front of the tank:

Then I placed this piece over the tank top.

Be sure to have cardboard or something in between

the front and back of the shirt or the paint will soak thru.

Now spray.

Remove the piece of lace and let dry.

That's it!

Hers is way cuter and more detailed than mine.

And if you haven't browsed thru her blog

at her fun DIY's, you should.....

there are so many fun ideas.

Did y'all have a nice Father's Day weekend?

I spent the weekend gazing at this:

 Yeah-my husband wanted to go camping

for Father's Day so we packed up the RV and

took it out for 2012's maiden voyage.

I have to admit-I'm not really an outdoor gal.....

I LOVE and appreciate the beauty of the Earth

and I thoroughly enjoy seeing all of God's beauty.

BUT- (and this is a big butt)

I like to enjoy it without getting dirty,

crapping in the woods or sweating.

So-with that being said, you won't be

surprised to hear that when we go camping I

usually pack up a bunch of craft projects

and work on them inside the motor home or

outside while sitting at a picnic bench 

IN THE SHADE.

This first project I'm going to show you 

was one that I read about on the blog

P.S. I Made This.....check out the blog-

it is FULL of fun DIY ideas!

 I took these pics out in my back yard.....I 

was totally trying to pose and look cool

and then I realized when I came and put them

onto my computer.....I didn't have any make-up on!

NICE. 

I'm sure if any of my neighbors saw me

they got a good show-

trying to balance the camera on the hot tub

while running to get into place before the timer

snapped the photo.....and trying

not to trip over this little darling in the process. 

My glamorous life.

I try to be cool but most of the time it 

just doesn't happen.
