2014 is bringing many new and exciting things to my life. One of those things is a goal of mine. It's a very general goal... but I hope to start blogging more this year!
I know my blogs are usually just photos of what I've come up with recently, so I hope to keep uploading more frequently. I don't know who all will read these, but it is a goal for myself! (If you do read this ever, you should tell me next time you talk to me! Otherwise I look like a goof just typing away to myself over the interweb.)
So my first photos today don't necessarily deal with a craft or refashion like normal... instead it is a outfit recreation that I ended up loving!
And now for my take on the outfit!

Here was the inspiration I found on glitzandgold.com
Pearls and Camo!
Even paired it with my new thifted boots! (Brand new Target stud boots for $6 from ARC!)
Now for the fun stuff:
I got some paints and canvas for Christmas so made a wall hanging for my very bare-walled bathroom! I had a lot of fun with this. I painted, Modge Podge-d, painted some more, then took out my sharpies to write a lovely quote from Walt Whitman:
I made a bunch of my Christmas gifts this year, but unfortunately can't find all the pictures from those gifts. Here's what I made my father though! I bought an old, ugly, falling apart cabinet off Craigslist, stripped all 3 layers of paint off, sanded it down and found beautiful oak planks underneath it all! With a little help from dad (yes, I gave it to him in the ugly state first so he could decide what he wanted to do with it), we added some reinforcing pieces to the front, underneath, and back and came up with this:
Two or three coats of stain/varnish later, here is the final project. Ready to fill with car part and engine books, and strong enough to be a nice bench for the front office of Dad's car shop )where he works on the race cars!)
TA DA!!! I was very proud of the result. I wish I had a picture of it before I started... it was hideous, to say the least.
Oh, and as a closing giggle, here's a photo of me shooting a pistol over winter break!
Stay crafty, everyone! :)
