New Year, New Things!

So it's the start of 2014 and there is sooooo much to look forward to! I'm really hoping to move forward with my business and add so much to my shop! My goal is to hover around 100 items in my shop. Hopefully that will help me hop into the express lane of a full time business. I'm also hoping to get a how-to in at least once a week (although it'll probably be once a month since I'm really bad at coming up with ideas!)

If you're wondering what I have been up to lately, I just added this awesome new ID wallet/coin purse to my Etsy here.

Also I just entered to win a Silhouette Cameo or Portrait. You can enter here! I could really use one of these. Hopefully I win! They also have a ton of cool DIY projects if you are interested!

Well until next time, happy crafting!

Galaxy Shoes!

My friend Roxanna found a YouTube video for a DIY on galaxy shoes. We had a craft night (or well afternoon) where she and I got together and made us some shoes, while the guys sat around watching/playing video games/drinking beers. It was a very interesting evening.

I forgot to get pictures until the end but here they are!

 In process of adding stars

 Dave wanted to pose with the shoes

Mine are on the left, Rox's on the right

 And again.

Until next time, happy crafting.

R2D2 Trashcan!

Dave and I were browsing Pinterest the other day and we came across an ETSY listing for a R2D2 trashcan. It looked simple enough so we decided to try and make our own. At first we thought about painting on the designs but then there was the mess of sealing the paint so it didn't chip, and that the original can looked like the shapes were stickers or something. We finally decided on self adhesive vinyl, just seemed easier! We found the trashcan at the Container Store for $5 and the vinyl was at Hobby Lobby (10 feet for $7.99 but it was half off when I went!)

Here is what it looked like after the first night...

The final product!

I have a crap ton of vinyl left over so if any one wants one then let me know!

Also this weekend a friend confessed that they are a fan of my blog and it really really made my day! I felt so good about stuff haha. I really created this blog just for myself but it was really cool to hear someone else reads my blog besides myself and Dave.
