Stitching Type
I got this idea from another project I’ve done, and decided to customize completely – a distressed sort of type made by sewing through paper.

This To That // Babes In Toyland
My inner high school self is squealing with excitement knowing Babes In Toyland has reunited and they’re going full force into touring and recording. I listened to them non stop when I was younger, and I never thought I’d see the day they’d reunite.
With all this new, I’ve been in a big time Babes In Toyland mood lately, and as I was doing some cleaning, I came across this t-shirt that I painted back in high school.
It doesn’t quite fit the way I’d like. So I decided to combine it with this long sleeve button down, which is huge on me.
So I resized the big button down, using another shirt that fits me well as a “pattern” to mark down how much to take in to make it a comfortable size. After I deconstructed and sewed it smaller, I cut the t-shirt into a square and sewed it to the back.

Easy Laundry Hamper Makin’
So yesterday I made some stamps that I used to decorate a pillowcase of mine which I wanted to include in this post today.
It’s crazy how if you look up embroidery hoop projects, a BOATLOAD of DIYs pop up. I found this SUPER easy laundry hamper idea and made one for myself since I was hamperless and all kinds of scattered+messy.

This To That // Plaid Edition
One thing I haven’t been tackling much on this blog so far is my crafty stuff. I initially wanted it to be the majority of the content posted. I never thought I would do some much writing, but I guess I have a lot to talk about.
This blog is still super fresh and it’s in its beginning stage, but over at my old blog, I posted crafty projects left and right and I want to get back on that track.
Now, I’m not very good at DIY tutorials, but I am all about showing my methods on how I’ve tackled projects. You can take from it what you will. Some methods don’t work for you as they do for me, so I encourage you experiment and find what works for you. I encourage DIY where something sparks you to create in the way that you want to create.

The Saga Of My Fabio Infatuation
Don’t ask me why because I don’t know why. I have a weird obsession with Fabio.
It’s not his fabulous hair, his strong built, his handsome Italian look – I don’t know what attracts me to him. I don’t find him much a joke, but at the same time I kinda do because he doesn’t take himself seriously either. He exists, and his existence is fantastic.

Pickle Alphabet
Taking Portlandia’s advice, I did some pickling of my own! I pickled a font.
I only needed certain letters for a project, but I decided to go all the way and make the whole alphabet.

Spritz Alphabet
I’ve always been into fonts. I loved drawing them out by hand, copying band logos, creating my own, browsing through endless supply of fonts on da font, etc.
I’m currently taking a couple of basic graphic design classes, and typography obviously plays a large role in graphic design. I’m all for learning professional ways to incorporate type into designs.

Jar Funds
[via Pop Sugar]
I love Cyndi Lauper and I also support wanting to have fund$, so this mason jar really caught my attention. And I wanted it. But since I don’t have fund$, I used my crafty skills to make my own.
