Hey ya'll! As you know school has started and if any of you have actually read my little bio here, you would know that I'm still in school, desperately trying to finish. Because of school, my schedule has already become a little hectic and I know I won't be able to add much to this blog. My priorities right now are school and family, but I'll try my best to make time for this too! I've already gotten a little bit of recognition so far from Debra Bass, a St. Louis Today Fashion Editor with my Toilet Paper Art coming soon on an article that she's doing! (I won't go into much detail. I already hope I'm not spoiling anything because I'm talking about this now before it actually makes it into the paper...) So I'm sad that I can't continue on with promoting my blog and doing as much as I can to make it better.

BUT in the meantime, I'm taking a UI/IX Design class which will help me learn coding! So later I'll be able to make this website, or even make my own website so much better! It's exciting! Because, this site ain't got no style and things going where I want them to go.

So, stay with me, people! I'll probably be doing more recipes than crafts because I'm always trying new meals from Pinterest. And then come Christmas-time, I'll have a lot of cute crafty decor coming along from stuff I did last year. And of course I'll share some of my design work from school. So I guess my blog won't become too much of a dead-beat, but just know there might be some dry-spells happening.

Hang with me and love you guys!

We all have it: that one white shirt with the pit stains. Most of us replace it with a new one when needed or shamefully hang it in our closet thinking one day we'll deal with it and bleach it. But not anymore! I saw this pin from One Good Thing about taking the yellow sweat stains out of white shirts and knew I needed to try it. What did I have to lose if I was going to replace the shirt anyways?

She had fantastic results and I was pretty trusting that it would work. So here we go!


You mix one part Dawn dishwashing liquid mixed with two parts hydrogen peroxide plus some baking soda. Scrub onto stains and do your laundry as usual. I also dabbed it on some areas where there were other stains like chocolate or something.


Then after it's done laundering, voila! Stains GONE! It really is miracle cleaner. It got the odd older stains out too!

It's been fun seeing some growth and awareness of my blog and shop come from this event. I've been noticing that this clementine ombre print has easily become a favorite so far! I'm so glad you guys like it!

And if you win, you have the choice to choose one of these cute new sewn printables or anything else from my shop! That's right, my new collection of printables have some sewing mixed in, so they aren't digital downloads, but look super chic and rich with texture with the paper and added texture of the thread.

Also check out Danica's blog Black with a Chance of Cheetah who is going in with Taylor for the giveaway. They're helping me get my name out because they have more followers.

Test Pin/Tutorial: How to put a photo on canvas.

Get those corners!

Then hurry and apply more Modge Podge on top of the photo, brushing back and forth over the entire photo because it will dry with some mini streaks in it. So you will notice spots that didn't get an application. Then be sure to get the edges, which is very important because that's one way it holds together well. Make sure to get into the creases and corners.

Make sure it's all very even because although it dries clear, you will notice lumps and gumps if they're not smoothed out.

My husband thought this was a cool angle. We're getting all sorts of arsty over here!

As you can see I've used this for photos and for some art pieces. This scripture, however, doesn't look too great with the grey. I should've used a darker grey or some other color. But as you can see, the principle is the same!

Before you go off and celebrate this simple, cheap craft, I suggest not using paper! Paper would make this cheaper than it already is, but I have tried it. Modge Podging paper onto canvas is not the way to go! It crinkled and stuck together and the ink smeared onto everything. It was awful. So go to a photo center and you should be good to go.

Another tip: I got my canvases at Wal-Mart 2 for $8. Add that up with the cost of the photo and each one is less than $10! Compare that to getting it actually printed on canvas and, well, it can't be comparable!

This application has seriously changed my life. This is definitely a thumbs up for a great Pin!
