A while back I showed how to make a great earring holder built out of a picture frame. Well, since making that, I’ve moved all my costumes and costume jewelry to another room (namely my art room) which doesn’t have an appropriate place on the wall to hang an earring holder. However, there is space…
DetailsWhile I was at my parents’ place over the holidays, I wanted to do something crafty. I had bookmarked Tasha of Creation Corner‘s post on a Pointed Flower Tutorial and it seemed like the perfect quick and easy craft. My dad and I had just gone to the New Year’s Day fabric sale where I…
DetailsIt’s been ages since I posted. With the holidays and an upcoming dance competition, I’ve just been swamped and barely have a moment at my computer when I’m home. But I’m currently injured so on the upside it means I have time to catch up on some of my posting. My little brother came to…

Yesterday I took a class at A Work of Heart where we made a Tim Holtz style collage. This is my finished collage! I think it came out nicely. It’s not my usual style so I’m not sure where I’ll put it yet, but the thought was the kitchen. My favorite part was the old…
DetailsRecently I was dancing at the local Renaissance Faire. I needed an old world costume. Specifically they said 14th or 15th century. This one was pushing it a little bit since it’s technically 16th or 7th century, but qualified well enough considering some of the other things I saw there. The pattern is from the…
DetailsSo my friend Coco is a lioness. It’s kinda an inside joke, but it’s cuz she’s fierce. I felt the need to emblazon this on a shirt for her so she could advertise this to everyone else. Plus it gave me an excuse to try out my rhinestones. I started by laying out the words…
DetailsWell, it’s been several months since I posted to Pigs In Pajamas, but I have good reason. During this time, we came up to the finishing stages of our basement. As part of this basement, I’m getting a dance studio and a sewing studio. I’m super excited about it! But it’s taken all my extra…
DetailsYou may recall that last week I posted about my Chicken Tikka Masala Cook-Off. One of the ways I made it special was by creating little themed tent cards to label each dish with its number. At first I was going to cut the design out of the tent card and put a piece of…
