    T-shirt scarf

    September 23, 2013 - By 

    You may recall that I showed this sneak peek of a project that looked pretty much like a pile of rags. Well…not quite.

    upcycled shirtI was inspired by a friend who sent me a link to this upcycled t-shirt scarf after making one for her daughter. It’s a quick and simple no-sew project.

    The shirt I used had seams on both sides. The tutorial didn’t allow for this. I decided to take extra bits of shirt and tie a knot to cover each seam that was exposed.

    Next time I’ll use an adult size shirt to make the loops longer that way it won’t be as tight when doubled up.

    Embracing my inner artist

    Some days I have trouble labeling myself as an artist. I find it super easy to call myself a wife, mother and blogger…but artist, I struggle with.

    This quote makes me me realize that I can embrace myself as an artist after all.

    Now if my neck and shoulders would play nicely. I’ve been in pain since Friday afternoon when apparently I moved in some way that my body disagreed with.

    Looking down at the keyboard is very painful. Yes, I still occasionally look down when I type. I think mostly out of habit…but it hurts!!!

    Chiropractor in the morning…hoping that will set me right.

    take timeThis page is many days old. I’m not thrilled with the page itself but the words are resonating with me this week.

    There may be ch-ch-changes on the horizon. More on that at a later time.

    Hope your days are filled with the little things.
