Cut it out!! ......canvas tutorial I love a wall I can read! Take your favorite quotes and put them up on the walls with this easy, inexpensive idea! Supplies: Canvas (found mine at Hobby Lobby in a 2 pack for $7.99) Fabric contact paper spray paint staple gun printer and exacto knife or a cricut machine Step 1: Cover your canvas in the fabric you selected and secure it with a staple gun on the backside of the wood frame. Step 2: Using contact paper cut out the letters of your saying on a circut machine. Position the letters on the canvas. Step 3: When all the letters have been placed, spray a thick layer of spray paint over the entire canvas. Step 4: When it is dry, peel the letters off. Hang it on your wall and enjoy! another design option: Instead of covering the canvas with fabric, just place your letters onto the canvas, spray and peel. **edited to add: I get several emails asking about how to get the letters to stick better and prevent the paint from bleeding underneath.

The easiest shirt ever I thought this shirt was easy to make, but it doesn’t compare to the one I made for Isabel this weekend. She started describing a shirt she’d seen: square, slightly cropped, very drapey. I asked her to draw a picture and she drew a rectangle. Yes, I can do that. We found the drapiest fabric in the house, a fairly loose knit left over from Rosie’s weekend project. I measured her, cut out two rectangles, sewed up the sides and shoulders, cut out the neckline, and 10 minutes after she asked for it, she had a new top. To make your own you will need half a yard of drapey knit fabric (a bit more if you want it longer). Decide where you want the sleeves to come to. Put the two rectangles together with the right sides of the fabric facing each other. You’re done!
Decor 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 I know that my site is primarily a sewing and fashion related site, but for today (and hopefully a few odd days here and there) I’m going to make an exception because I’m re-opening up my antler shop! I’m posting a few inspirational photos on how to decorate your house with pretty deer and elk antlers and dead heads – and for a particular set of you out there…these will spark some DIY ideas! Because of the antler’s shape and tines (spikes), you have a vast amount of DIY possibilities - whether it is a decorative piece or holder of some kind (jewelry, coaster, coat, washi tape like the images above) for example. Whatever it may be….you can’t go wrong with these beautiful pieces in your home.

High Functioning Coat Hooks Back in Los Angeles, any old coat rack or a few hooks by the door would do. Most of us would just toss a jacket in the back of the car in the winter months. But here in Vermont we need a little more. Many of the vernacular farm houses I visit have at least a half dozen hooks per person lined up in their mud rooms. Materials, for each hanger you'll need: One cleaned or refinished paint can. 2 screws long enough to reach into wall studs. Tools: Long handled screwdriver or screw gun with sufficient extensions to reach bottom of can. Step one: With the handle in a horizontal position, layout and make 2 small mounting holes at the top and bottom of the can within an inch or less of the edge. Step two: locate and mark stud position on wall for upper screw position. Step three: Screw through the upper hole of the can into the wall stud but not quite snug to the wall. Step four: Straighten the can and screw through the lower hole of the can into the wall stud snug to the wall.
Loft Tour: The Cement Factory – LoftLife Magazine – The Loftstyle Guide to Life in the City To this day, Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill’s legendary live/work complex in Barcelona, Spain remains one of, if not the most impressive examples of adaptive reuse we’ve ever seen. It all started about 35 years ago when the controversial architect discovered an abandoned cement factory comprised of over 30 silos, underground galleries and huge engine rooms. He bought it and began renovation. This included defining the space by demolishing certain structures, cleaning cement, exposing previously concealed forms, and planting various greenery including eucalyptus, palms, olive trees and cypresses. The vast space exemplifies incredible restraint. “The factory is a magic place with a strange atmosphere that is difficult to be perceived by a profane eye.
