crayons, recycled.

Tweet

 

 

1.  Pull out those broken crayons out of your crayon box and heat the oven to 200.

2.  Chop up said crayons.

3.  Put them in a muffin pan... I used a silicone one.

4.   Sprinkle them in the cups (this was the fun part for Maggie).

5.  I baked mine for about 45 minutes.

6.  Let them cool and harden.

7.  Voila!  You've got the coolest crayons on the block!

(Thanks for the great idea, Katie!)

T-SHIRT DUVET COVER

Tweet

I was hoarding Larry's t-shirts.  And I hate hoarding.  He was never going to wear these t-shirts again.  They were nasty, old, pit-stained and just icky.  But they reminded me of the beginning of our relationship and the wild ride that has become our life together.  So, instead of forcing myself to part with these sentimental stink rags... I made them into something useful:  a duvet cover! 

I made one with old fleece baby blankets, too.  It's my quilting style... totally renegade. 

Want one?  I'll make one for you out of old baby clothes, blankets, whatever... commission me.  I'm up for it.
