Ring Game

Midi stacking rings can easily become an obsession.
I often lose them though, so I have to document days when my nails are actually done and I have a good ring game going on.

Pumpkin Picking



It's that time of year! October = finding the perfect pumpkin. 
I like to decide what I want to carve beforehand so I can find the pumpkin that would best suit my design. This year I have something extra fun up my sleeve, but I can't disclose my secrets until it gets closer to Halloween! Until then, get lost in a corn maze and enjoy pickin' pumpkins!

Engagements

When your 2 best friends get engaged in the same month,
you make Feyoncé shirts.




Want to DIY like I did?

You'll need:

Shirt(s) -- I used Fruit of the Loom men's v-neck shirts


Iron & Ironing board

Flat piece of wood (I used a large cutting board)

Pillow case

Sewing Pins

How to:

Mock-up saying or picture in Word

Print finalized piece on transfer paper (let this dry for 30min)

Cut out design as close to the edges as you can (I made a black text box behind the letter to blend with the shirt so I didn't have to cut out each individual letter)

Place the cut out piece in desired location on shirt (measure from the bottom or shoulder points to center it and align it straight..use pins to mark measurements)

Remove grid backing on transfer paper

Place the design along pins then remove the pins to make ironing easy

Place parchment paper over design

Iron for required amount of time (no steam)

NOTE: Follow directions exactly how the transfer paper states
This description is for the transfer paper I purchased, some could be different.
