Today I want to talk about Washi Tape. What is Washi tape? Washi Tape is a decorative paper tape, it also comes in a fabric similar to ribbon, but it is backed with adhesive. There are many decorative styles out there. I like to use it on cards and on envelopes, but those are only a few uses for it. People use it in day planners and calendars, as well as gift tags or to decorate boxes, etc. Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15374145816426167338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554272877489177.post-91145460992136585012015-02-27T18:59:00.000-08:002015-02-27T18:59:08.274-08:00Ink Swatches
I am working on some stamping projects and decided to swatch my stamping ink colors to see what I had and how they stamp. I came across Jennifer McGuire's blog, she had a video on how to swatch your colors. She even has a printable downloadable chart. I found a solid circle stamp I had in my stash to stamp with and I got started. I plan to take them with me when I go to buy more colors.

My dots came out great! Then I thought they are cute, but kinda plain and decided to use my nail stamps to make them pop! That is what you see below. I have not seen anyone do this yet. I just got the idea as I stared at my little plain Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15374145816426167338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554272877489177.post-33367415449126775672014-10-13T19:29:00.001-07:002014-10-13T20:22:24.762-07:00Sewing ProjectsFall is finally here and with that it always makes me want to sew, for some reason. Last week I started sewing some projects I had since the summer. One of them was a really cute apron. I bought the fabric at Beverly's fabric and I decided to back it with a coordinating fabric. It was super easy and I even made a paper pattern from it, for the future.
The next project is Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15374145816426167338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554272877489177.post-45795870243877838882014-09-23T17:18:00.000-07:002014-09-24T14:34:27.528-07:00FALL NAILSI decided it was time to post a Fall Nails post. I was watching one of my Youtube girls video. Her name is Raquel and Her Vlog on Youtube is Love4nails. She always does an amazing job. If you love nail art, you should check her Youtube channel out.
Now I was inspired by a set of nailart she had done on herself, but I wanted to do a more fall theme, so here is my version.
Here are the colors I Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15374145816426167338noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554272877489177.post-49159867417470527942014-04-01T12:27:00.001-07:002014-04-01T12:27:46.175-07:00Cinnamon Roll SconesThe other day I found a recipe that made a cinnamon roll with that scone texture. I found it at http://joyofbaking.com/breakfast/CinnamonRollSconesRecipe.html
Who doesn't love Scones and Cinnamon rolls? This recipe turned out really well. I used my food processor for the dough . You can do this as long as you don't over process the dough, just do it until it comes together.

I've been playing around a lot with nail stamping and with water slip decals.
They just give nails that extra pizazz. So let's get right to it.
The Nail Stamps I use are from all over the place, Born Pretty, Bundle Monster and Gals.
This color is Go Girl by Gelish and topped with Light Elegant by Gelish.

Well Christmas is over and now we are getting ready for the new year! Here is something I worked on over the holidays.
Crocheted Fleece Blanket:
Here's how I made this:
1) I bought the fleece at 1 1/4 yards. I bought a special rotary blade called a slipstitch blade. It perforates the fabric.
2) I washed and dried my fabric, cut the fabric to size.
3) Sewed it, right Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15374145816426167338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621554272877489177.post-70113356205791907152012-09-23T14:21:00.000-07:002012-09-23T14:24:17.174-07:00Fall is Coming! Raspberry Peach JamFall is coming and I was in the mood to make more Jam!
I had jars left from my not so great attempt this summer at a watermelon jelly. So I decided that I would make a yummy Raspberry Peach jam. The peaches were frozen fresh from the tree. They were given to me by a friend who has a Peach tree. She will be getting a yummy Jar of this jam for Christmas.

It started out as a gross yellow brass color. I had been doing some looking around on line for a color that would look classy and sleek. I found this color at the Home Depot it was under $8. I think that was a great price for the Major change in my ceiling fan. I enlisted the help of my tall and sweet cousin.
