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.

I'm not super crazy about these bright, super geometric papers... but I love how this is composed.

Ok, this is a little TOO groovy for my taste.  I like the vertical stripes, though.  Maybe just a collection of four circles in a frame or something.  The colors are wonderful... they are brave!

My parents had one wall in our kitchen in the 80s that had some pretty cool wallpaper on it.  Ferns in a few shades of green.  And it was tasteful.  And I still remember it!  This is Wallpaper Week with Boho Martha.  Enjoy some of these wonderful and colorful prints in the coming days.  They will perk you up, I'm sure.

Sigh... What a beautiful bathtub.  This is a sanctuary.  Tranquility and beauty.  I want to be sucked into this photo so I can touch everything.  Lovely!
