Take that, Knitting!

I really love embarking on a craft, but usually time and money are two main sources of opposition, and so, this little gem is both snappy and cheap, especially if you already have some yarn on hand. Which I did-- it's poop color, but now that I know I can handle this craft, I'll go out and splurge on some more "scarf" like yarn.

I mean, it's okay how it turned out-- the choice of BULKY blue yarn used on Martha's website is perfect. Kinda has the "wool/sheep-skin" look to it. The yarn I had sitting around was thicker than normal, but was not at all bulky or puffy. It kinda sags..

However, I've never enjoyed tying a plethora of square knots so much in my entire life. Loved this craft, and I'm going to proudly sport my poop colored, saggy scarf around town.

Here's the link.... and I hope you have scarf weather wherever you are- as for Philly, it's been a tad too warm.

Ciao mates!

Corsage J Crew Tee

Check out my funky new shirt that cost me a mere half an hour! Copied from a recent J Crew item that ran for 30 bucks, you can find the how-to-recreate-it here.

Oh, and many thanks to my friend, Amanda, for the referral to this blog. Changed my t-shirt life.

Seriously, this was better than baking chocolate cupcakes or warm goat cheese.... I love a good, short, and no-brainer craft, especially when you can use things you already HAVE on hand and don't have to make a 2nd trip to Michaels, only to spend more money! BAHHH! Weakness.

Anyway, I'm thinking of adding some more hearts to my t-shirt for a more "full" look, as seen in the Jcrew catalog... Heck, I just might go corsage all the sad and frumpy shirts in my closet!

Chao!
