DIY Headbands with Free Pattern!

Even though Summer is not here yet, it has been hot here in the South. I have been trying to grow my hair out, but I am a ponytail junky because I hate having my hair in my face. To stop me from putting my hair up, I decided that I needed some headbands for when I am working. So, I of course, decided to make my own DIY Headbands!

DIY Headbands with Free Pattern!

I have a ton of Fat Quarters, probably because I hoard them. So, I dug through my stash and found some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Fabric, as well as some Wonder Woman fabric to use. You can use any fabric you would like, just as long as it is a light weight fabric.

Easy DIY Reversible Apron with Free Apron Pattern!

by 3 Comments

Easy DIY Reversible Apron!

When I first started this blog, one of my first projects was a DIY Apron. To this day it is still one of my most popular posts. The directions were a little lack luster, so I wanted to remake it. I also wanted to include a free printable pattern to make the process easier. For this Easy DIY Reversible Apron I went with a Deadpool theme. But, the options are endless with this pattern.

DIY Bleach Stain Shirt!

One of my first projects on this blog was a Hello Kitty Bleach Shirt that I used vinyl to create the design. I love that shirt, and still have it. I wanted to make some more fun shirts, but instead of using vinyl, I opted to use freezer paper to make the design. These DIY Bleach Stain shirt are super easy to make, and fun to make.

I remodeled my kitchen a few years ago, if I could do it over again, there is a lot I would change. When we moved into our home, I had purchased it while transitioning out of the Army, my husband was stationed overseas, and it was just me and two small children. I was on a tight budget and an even tighter timeline.

Have you ever had a crazy idea and just went for it? That is how this project started.

Doctor Who Chocolate Souffle Recipe!

Clara Oswald is, and will always be, my favorite Doctor Who companion. My favorite thing about her is her determination. And, nothing says determination like trying to make a Chocolate Souffle. After 4 different attempts (and a lot of swearing) at making a Chocolate Souffle, I finally think I got it. It may not be super pretty, but that is because it started to fall a little while I was setting up all of my camera gear. But, it is yummy, and the addition of a Tardis on the top makes this a Doctor Who Chocolate Suffle Recipe! Doctor Who Chocolate Souffle Recipe! …
