DIY Canvas Shoes

About 6 months ago, I bought plain white canvas shoes. I was going to color them in to how I wanted them, but just never got the chance!!! 2 days ago, my Mom was cleaning out the cupboards when she discovered the good old Crayola fabric markers we got over 5 years ago. And they still work perfectly!!! It was great!!!

On one shoe, I went like a school child and just doodled and acted bored. But on the other shoe, I wrote down all the things that I like in this world (okay not all of them, just the ones I could think of at that time!!!
Lots of fun, and I'm so happy I found the fabric markers!! Definitely using them again!!!!

Have a great day!!

DIY Roller Blind Revamp

So, about a year ago, I completely renovated my room, I had cupboards added, new carpet, new furniture, all the good stuff, but there was one big eyesore, and that was the roller blind covering my window. Now, my window is large and long (178cm x 152cm) and the blind covering it stands out as the main attraction. The blind was originally a white/grey color and broken (very broken, it had been broken since my family moved into this house), so I figured if I was going to put up with it being broken, i needed to re-vamp it a bit!
Seeing as I only get about 1 day a week to work on it, I will have to post updates on it, as it is quite a big project.
I will have to post photos of it tomorrow, when I can sort it all out!

Love to all!

C&S: T-shirt Quilt. My Steps 1 and 2.

Step 1!

Ok, so my step 1, was collect ALL of the shirts that we have and sort through them! (this surprisingly took a long time!) So once i had sorted all the ones that seemed to have the result of what I needed, I put them all in an order (this is not the order I am putting them onto the quilt with!!) just so I can see how big I want it and how many t-shirts I do actually want on the finished product. This took quite a while, as when I was organizing it, my family kept adding shirts to it, until I finally got the above picture! There are 24 shirts in total. 6 down, 4 across. 

Step 2!

Step 2 is pretty easy. Wash them! put all the shirts into the wash (WITHOUT fabric softener) and then put them out to dry. Make sure its not machine dry. :) Unfortunately, when I set to dry them, it was raining, so I did the smart thing: checked the rain radar and worked out the exact times it would not be raining. It worked! I hung them out, went to meet my friend for coffee, came home and they were perfectly dry.
