What's up, Buttercup... Chandelier

Another of the old ugly lamps has been transformed into this amazing little light. 

In this cheeky yellow, she almost sings to you.  I just love the way she lights up a room.   It is also cool that she has 3 different light settings.  She has just the flame setting, the spotlight setting, or both!

Rustic Hutch boutique - Dec 2013

 I had a really fun time....but it was cold!  We started the day out in the low 30's. By afternoon, I think we were in the low 60's.  It was a great day.

Today was the Rustic Hutch cash and carry festival.  It was so much fun.  Here are a few shots of my booth.

Helpers are fabulous... especially TALL sister Sundee kind of helpers.

Some of my chando's, lights and other items for sale.

Here is a full shot (with me inside booth).  Notice the pennant garland I made last night out of old sheets.

Come out and see me next month.  December 7 is the date from 9-5.  It is going to be fun!  Baseline and Gilbert road in Mesa.

Shirt redo - From sloppy to stylish- Multi color plaid

So, I have been on this re-do, up-cycle kick.  Recently, I have been remaking old sloppy shirts into ones that fit me just right!  Here is an example of a shirt I recently remade. 

Before:

multicolor plaid front

multicolor plaid back

 This shirt had some good bones, the collar and front tucks were a step in the right direction.  I removed the sleeves and cut out the excess on the sides.  I then took the tucks that were already there and took them all the way down, front and back.

Shirt back, tucks running the length.

To give the shirt more interest, I made the tucks in the front into Mexican tucks. (Which means the are sewn opposite to give a wavy illusion to the fabric).

 

After that was done, I cut off the sleeves to make them short, but I retained the cuff.  Why do more work than necessary.  I finished all of the seams and tacked down the collar. 

I wear this one all the time now.
