Craft: Duck Tape Wallet

Craft #1 

Craft time! First off is a simple craft... 

drumroll

The duck-tape wallet!

Unfortunately I can't claim this idea. The only reason I made this one is because my lovely friend Caroline made me one nearly a year ago. It's still holding together nicely and the stickiness hasn't run out on it's strap yet. It's been my favorite for a long time, and it's almost always sure to catch someone's attention. (Not to mention it's gorgeous and much nicer than the one I made.) 

Anywhoooo. Here's my attempt at mimicking her genius.

Snazzy patterned duck tape...

You know those tin pie pans? 

You know the clear plastic lids they have? 

You know how scissors work?

Yup. instant I.D. sleeve right there.

Aaaaaannnnddddd inside pockets for those handy little cards that I could use in place of money if my account didn't have about as much green in it as a desert and just as many tumbleweeds.

And to wrap this up, here's the shiny blue ribbon it won at County Fair.

You know the best thing about this project? 

It didn't cost anything! :D

P.S. There's a link to my Etsy shop near the top of the page hint hint.

Love you all

Fair week is over...

(about a week ago) and things are starting to fall bak into order. You know what this means?
INCOMING CRAFT POSTS YAY


This will be fun. 

busy busy busy bee

So, the County Fair is fast approaching, and as usual I will be utterly consumed by it for the next week. I do apologize for the lack of recent posts. I also apologize that this sad lack of posts must continue for a while longer. When fair week has passed expect a flurry of interesting new things (read: Heather will show off her shiny trinkets that she made herp derp).


Until then, I wish you well and a happy week.
God Bless

ReBlogging from CYM - God Bless America!

The Catholic Young Woman: Freedom 101: I love this holiday. Love it. Love it. Love it. But more than that, I love this country. Fiercely. What we were founded on, what we stand for, the diversity of the land and the people..It is truly “America the Beautiful.”
But I love this beautiful America too much to sit by quietly as the government threatens to uproot her foundational value of freedom.

A.D.D. Robot Grippers Made of Coffee

Avengers

Watch it. I could say this a million times over just watch it. Drop everything you are doing and just run to the nearest movie theatre. 
For real. Here's a generic trailer that fails epicly to do it justice. (Even though the trailer is pretty epic in itself)

The story is fun, the fighting is smashtastic (I'm totally coining that term), and the characters are almost unbearably lovable and complex. Even the villain is oddly charming and keeps you guessing throughout the film. And don't even get me started on the humor. So much Stark snark. 

It's been two days and I'm still in shock from the sheer unbridled awesome. This is why I cannot muster a single explanation point. My brain exploded you see, and it's trying to piece itself back together. Don't worry it will pass. I don't need medical help... I think.
