An April Fools Day Weekend List

Now I am not fooling that it is April 1st or that it that time of the week for my weekend list. But I might be fooling on the projects I have planned for the weekend? Not sure if they are really or fake? You can be the judge and see if I complete the project in the way I have planned. So let's get to the list..
(1) Ring Blanks.
I have the urge to make some really funky junky rings for the spring!Might be flowers or recycled junk or maybe both! I think I have some good ideas blooming for this one!
(2) Bunny Art
Easter is coming and wanted to make this a couple week ago, so I better get going on it. This is not the art but the inspiration for the possible project.
(3) Button Jewelry
I bought a lot of silver and pewter buttons on Etsy this week and I can't wait to make some interesting jewelry out of them since you can never have enough jewelry (or shoes)!
(4) Leather
Now this has been on the list before but I now have pinned down an idea for it since trying a few different things that did not work. Let's hope the third time is the charm!
And that is the list for this April Fools day.. Are they really projects or not and will I finish them? Well what will be the really fool? Check back next week! Have a Lovely weekend and Enjoy!

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
