Summer of Color: Citron Turq Apron

So of course I am doing Summer of  Color  with Twinkle, Twinkle Like a Star Blogspot again!

I love this gal and I take every chance I can to unleash the artist in me to follow her color schemes and show my creativity.

Since of course I am doing more aprons now, I thought this year, in a different art form I would try, TRY being the key word there to do some Aprons and other things I make in the SOC3 colors she gives us.

This week we have Citron Green and Turquoise.

What a Challenge.

But I found a fabulous old skirt at the DAV and rePurposed it into an Apron!

I don't also do pockets in my aprons because sometimes I like to leave them in that dressy skirty style. To me, Aprons are a Fashion Accesory. You should eb able to wear it from

 Kitchen to Couture or

however

and 

whenever

and

wherever

you like

So here is my apron for this week

to showcase our colors

Until Next Time

Values Cards

I wanted to take something ordinary and make it Extraordinary! Isn't it funny though how that word is just Extra Ordinary put together? Anyway, I wanted to make it better than that! I was reading in the Right Brain Business Plan about creating Values Cards and I remember I had these tiny little cards that I never play with or do anything with. I got the ideas for the Values from the book Working for Good. Between the two I think I came up with a really unique idea and something creative as well!

So I thought maybe I could cover them and make my values cards out of them. Then I thought if I punched a hole in them and got some key rings to put it on that might make it even cuter and more special! So that is just what I did! I mod podged the covers onto the cards. I cut out the sayings and was trying to glue them down and a friend was texting me and teasing me about mod podge. I wasn't going to use mod podge but it wasn't working gluing the strips down so in the end I used mod podge after all. I guess Mod Podge does rock! :)

These are a list of the values I believe in and cherish for Heroes for the Homeless. I came to these by going through the “Right Brain Business Plan” and also the book “Working for Good”. I decided to do 30 for 30 because there usually 30 days in a month. I added a 31^st which is my final reminder to remember to keep leaping. I think when we stop leaping and we get afraid. I put these on a key ring and carry them with me so I remember to always look at them and least one every single day!

Ironing: Recoverd: Remade into Fun

Being a retro kinda girl I actually like standing behind an ironing board and ironing. though is is just a table top I still would rather it be enjoyable. I hate this one because it looked all yucky and I haven't had a lot of time for art projects. So I decided to take recovering this on so I could iron some pieces for a modeling gig I had to do. Come check out what I did.

Old yucky cover

I put this cushion fabric down first

Then this sold stripe down next

Then I stapled the dickens out of it

Ta da a new cover

If you don't like something in your life, change it. That's what I do.

Vintage Eye Glass Case

All I wanted to focus on for 2013 was Art and Modeling/Fashion. What has happened is Modeling/Fashion took over. Not a bad thing but I was just itching to create, get my hands dirty kind of create, ya know?

My friend Keelia has inspired me back to my creative side and I had these vintage papers and a eye glass case I have been wanting to convert so tonight I dug my hands in and did some good creating! Check out my process from beginning to end.
