A Giveaway - Nerd or Not

I am a self proclaimed nerd and I have been one all my life and proud of it. Growing up tall,gangly with braces and long hair that sometimes looked like a rats nest. I occasionally wore headbands to keep the nest out of my eyes but they always either were too tight or fell out. That is why today in am giving away two of my No-Slip headbands to two lucky winners in honor of Nerddom. Here are the two that I will be giving away.
One 1" wide brown,green and red fabric with black elastic back and No Slip liner. Measures 20" around.

Two bands of 1/2" wide lovely orange and brown fabric with No-Slip liner. Measures 20" around.
Both are stunning on and perfect for the Fall. Now the rules of the contest are you must leave one comment about something that makes you a nerd or not! So simple that I will get you started with three things about me from three different times in my life that define my Nerddom.
 1. I rode the bus to school all the way thru Senior year of High School. That might not sound odd but it was since all my friends were driving. 
 2. I was a Math Major in College. One of four women in this major at my college.
 3. I can sing and perform the entire score to Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas. Off key and not without a lot of laughing.
So now that I have given you some help to get started, please leave just one comment and I will pick a random winner on Thursday Oct 14th and will announce in my blog that day as well. Good Luck to all the Nerds or Not out there! Enjoy!

Comments

  1. Count me in as a fellow bus rider throughout senior year. I lived on the opposite end of town from school and unlike most of the other seniors didn't have a car or any friends who lived near me. Can I further cement my nerdy status by telling you I was in marching band all four years of high school? And that I took AP computer science for fun? Do I qualify yet?

  2. I've read all of the Harry Potter books at least five times. And I love it!

  4. I secretly love volcanos (and science in general). Do I qualify? I can also sing back-up for you on most of Emmett's tunes ;)

  5. I used to read a Biology textbook every night for fun. It was so fascinating and I love the smell of the book. Go nerds!

Ipad Pillow Stand

I like to watch tutorials on my Ipad and although I have a cover that converts to a stand, it isn't always the best solution for viewing. So I decided to make one of my own inspired by these Iphone stands I found on Etsy. They are sold by dognamedbanjo  and are really unique and lovely. So I thought I could make one similar to it and here is how i did it. First I started with a 1 yard of a fabric in my two favorite colors. Then I cut the following pieces 1 Pc 13" x 13" 1 pc 29 x 13" 2 Triangle pieces 13" x 13" x 13" Next I sewed the top square to the two triangles. This is will be the sides and the base. Next I took the large rectangular piece and sewed it to the bottom of the square. Now I don't have photos of the last few steps since once it start forming a pillow it is difficult to photograph, but the process is not that difficult. Next I sewed each side of the the rectangle to one side of the triangle on both s

Neck Tie Upcycled to Cuff

I found a large stash of Neck ties at an Estate Sale this past weekend and I had to buy them since I had the perfect idea for an upcycle project. They were mostly from a long since closed store here in Buffalo,NY and I felt the need to preserve them as well as the tags. I started by washing them on gentle and removing them immediately and laying flat to dry. They came out a little disfigured but nothing that a little ironing wouldn't fix. Next I took a seam ripper and opened up the back to take out the interfacing. I did this for two reasons, it was discolored and had a little odor and it would be easier to sew without this bulk.  I next cut the tie into a piece 10" long and hemmed the edge. Then I sewed two pieces of velcro to each side to make my cuff. The last step was to sew on a few antique buttons and beads and my cuff was done. Wow! Looking at this I can't believe how it turned out!.But wait... I made a few more! Love this one.. Antique Maple leave button and golden

The Oscars

The Oscars are upon us. Happening tonight. I usually watch the Red Carpet to see what everyone is wearing, but it often makes me think about at one time I wanted to be a costume designer.  I have always liked making things and thought it would be easy. I have made several Halloween costumes over the years. Pretty simple and very classy. I could design costumes for movies, right.. This classic would surely win me many Oscars. I am sure I would get many votes for this interpretation of a Court Jester. Of course these are from about 25 years ago, when life was much simpler.. Now I don' think I would be able to complete with other designers.. Oh well I better find something else that I am better at.. Enjoy, Janet
