This To That // Little Storage Box

Posted on

I started this little revamp back in December and finally got around to finishing it this week. Oops. Better late than never?

For a while, I’ve been on a roll with revamping and upcycling things I own – from little containers to my mirror to my cabinets. I’m not very good at buying new things because I tend to feel guilty. I kinda live by “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Why replace if they’re still usable and working? At this point, I’ve just gotten accustomed to revamping everything I own. It’s become my thing.
This little guy I decorated back in elementary school. I got it in some kind of kit with markers and stickers, and I felt a little embarrassed still using to this day when it screams “hey, I’m 11”. Doesn’t really fit my current life interests…

Posted on

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.

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.

This To That // Plaid Edition

Posted on

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.

[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.
