I got some great deals on some jewelry pieces, so of course I had to give jewelry-making a try! After much searching, I finally found some Dimensional Magic - and certainly put it to good use! I had so much fun! Can't wait to make more, and believe me, I will :) Here are a few of the pieces I bought. Each one was $2 or less! Score. First, I made up some designs to fit into each of the pendants. Luckily the packaging had the dimensions printed on them, otherwise I would have had to measure it myself. Since I wanted my jewelry to represent me & my personality, I put together my own designs on the computer. I love everything about the quote found here, so I adjusted the size of the image to fit & added the border. Next, I printed them off & cut them out. Attaching the images was simple: 1. Cut image to fit into pendant. Set aside 2. Paint inside pendant with Mod Podge 3. Place image inside pendant, and press into Mod Podge 4. Let sit for a minute or two, then paint more Mod Podge on top of image. Let dry! Here are the pendants drying! I love them already... Next, I painted some glitter glue along the top & bottom edges of the quote pendant and let it dry completely. I poured on the Dimensional Magic, and filled up each pendant. It goes on opaque, but it dries clear. I made sure to get all the edges and was a perfectionist about getting all the bubbles out by using a pin. The package says they should be dry in 3 hours, but I needed to let them dry overnight. Resist the urge to hover over them, playing with them or touching them to see if they are dry! The next morning, I noticed one of the pendants had a lot of bubbles at the bottom. Not sure why. Even though I was a bit paranoid about the bubbles & made sure to get rid of every one, it still happened. It's ok though... it adds character, right?? *This finished pendant will be shown in a future post, it still had some work to be done :) Once your pendants are dry, they are done! Put them on your favorite chain & show off your fabulous work! Here's a closer look of the glitter feature on this one. I love it!! I wore this one to my family birthday party this weekend, everyone seemed surprised I made it myself! (I'm taking that as a compliment...) Couldn't resist having some jewelry with pictures of my favorite people in the world :) and now, I will model these lovely necklaces for you! No, you aren't seeing things. For some reason the chevron bled a little. Not sure why, I printed on a laser printer... Oh well, I still love it!! Let me know what you think!
Ok quilting friends, we are getting there- we’ve got through the worst step IMHO (basting) and now we are back to another fun part again- quilting! I’ve got two separate tutorials- one for hand quilting and this one for machine quilting. I love both, and although I’ve recently been leaning toward
It might be getting a little too chilly to camp anymore when cooking in a Dutch Oven is perfect, but making this at home can be just as fun! Just like the title says, it's beef... and biscuits! Simple as that. This is one of my favorite Dutch Oven recipes and one of the few that I can successfully make on my own. Ingredients: {You can easily adjust the amount for more or less} 1-2 lbs. hamburger {plus what ingredients you usually use for a Sloppy Joe recipe} 2 1/2 packages of jumbo biscuits {you can also use the smaller biscuits} 12" Dutch Oven 24 pieces of charcoal Sloppy Joes: 1-2 lbs. hamburger Sloppy Joe seasoning mix 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste + 1 1/4 cups water OR 1 8 oz can tomato sauce 1. Cook the hamburger and mix up to make Sloppy Joes. 2. Pour mixture evenly into the bottom of Dutch Oven. 3. Place biscuits over the meat. I started around the outside and worked into the middle. 4. Light the charcoal when you start cooking the meat. They will be ready when they start to turn gray/white. To get different temperatures, you have to place the charcoals on and above the Dutch Oven differently. You can see a guide here. For this recipe, the temperature needs to be about 350º. So, you start with 24 charcoals. The way I remember it for this is to place 12 on top, 12 on bottom. Take 2 from the bottom and move to the top, leaving 10 on the bottom and 14 on the top. Place the ones on the bottom in a close circle so they fit right under the oven. Then, place the others around the lid like in the picture above. 5. Cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. The meat is already cooked, so you are only waiting for them to be done. 6. Scoop out and dump on your plate! It's easier to aim for biscuit-side down since it's going to be a mess anyway. Then top with some cheddar cheese and enjoy! While this recipe is awesome in a Dutch Oven, it can also be prepared in your regular oven at home: Prepare your sloppy joes like above. Pour sloppy joe mix evenly into a lightly greased 9x13 pan. Arrange biscuits on top of sloppy joe meat. Cover and bake for 10-15 minutes {could be longer or shorter depending on biscuit packaging directions} Scoop out and dump on your plate and top with cheese.

I have been so excited about launching this linky party with my friend Jena Hudson from Sew Much Music, and it is finally here! Still unsure what this linky party is all about? Check out my previous post with all the details and info right here. Want to link up? Here's what to do: 1. Grab the Artsy Fartsy image and link to one of our blogs. 2. Blog about a craft or project you have been working on this week. 3. Link up at the bottom of this post. Now onto my Artsy Fartsy Friday project: Filing Cabinet Makeover. I am completely transforming my classroom this summer, and one of the first things I had to check off of my to-do list was my filing cabinets. They were the extremely dull tan color, and they were real eye sores in my room. With the help of Jena, we quickly decided on ways to beautify our drab filing cabinets, and we are both extremely happy with our results. To begin your own filing cabinet makeover, you will need the following items: -Spray paint (for a small, 2-drawer cabinet you will need 2 cans--for a large, 4-drawer cabinet you will need 4 cans.) -Gloves (We used latex gloves from the nurse's station) -Painter's tape -Tarp -Contact paper -Ruler -Scissors -Exacto Knife -Squeegee -Wrench or screw driver Step 1: Prepare to paint your filing cabinet. Take the drawers out of the filing cabinet. Lay a tarp out and place your filing cabinet on it. If you are doing this outside, I would advise either taping the ends of the tarp down so they don't fly up on your newly painted cabinet, or place items to hold the ends down. Use painter's tape to protect any areas on your filing cabinet you don't want painted such as a school inventory label or lock. Step 2: Get your paint on. I am doing a colorful room this year, and I wanted my filing cabinets to go right along with that. For my smaller, 2-drawer cabinet, I chose Krylon spray paint in the color Watermelon. It was the perfect shade of pink to go with the chevron contact paper I purchased to go on my drawers. For my taller, 4-drawer cabinet, I chose Krylon spray paint in the color Bright Idea. Yellow is my favorite color, and this paint was the perfect shade. For the 2-drawer cabinet I used 2 cans of paint, and 4 cans for my 4-drawer cabinet. Be sure to shake your can of spray paint for 1-2 minutes prior to painting, and make sure you put on your gloves. (I learned the hard way of not wearing gloves. If you want to spare your hand from getting paint all over it, I would certainly advise wearing a glove on the hand you are using to paint.) Now, begin painting. This is where your patience needs to show up (and your muscles). You'll need to use long, slow swipes from side to side from top to bottom when painting. Your first time through, you will not see the coverage you are going to be hoping for... and that's okay. Trust me, you don't want to spray too much paint in one spot. Spray a coat on each side of your cabinet, and let the sides dry before applying another coat. It took three coats to get the look that I wanted on my cabinet. Don't forget to spray the front panels in between where your drawers will go. These are tricky little parts that are easily looked over until drawers are inserted. Step 3: Drawers While waiting on your layers of paint to dry on your cabinets, begin removing the hardware on your drawers. This can be a bit tricky because between Jena and I, we had FOUR different types of filing cabinets, and each had different hardware on the drawers. There are screws on the inside of your drawer that you will need to be removed in order to get the handles off and to pop off the latch and other hardware. (Be sure to check out Jena's post to see what the inside of your filing cabinet looked like and what all she had to do to remove the hardware. Mine was much simpler on the inside than hers.) Any hardware that cannot be removed will just need to be cut around with an Exacto knife when applying your contact paper. Next, you'll need to measure out your contact paper to fit your drawers. I added about a quarter of an inch to all sides of my contact paper so that I was certain to have enough to cover the entire front surface after having to cut around hardware. Then cut out your contact paper to the size you measured. Now comes the fun part. Applying the contact paper. I began by peeling about an inch all the way across the top of the backing of the contact paper off and then stuck it to the top of my drawer. I made sure that the inch was completely smooth and no bubbles before peeling more of the back off and applying more of it to the drawer. As I removed the backing to apply the paper, I used a ruler to help get out the bubbles and make it smooth. (A squeegee would probably work best, but a ruler was all I had.) I couldn't remove some hardware from my drawer, so I simply just cut around it with an Exacto knife. (It wasn't as hard as it may sound.) I continued to smooth out the contact paper with the ruler until I made it to the bottom of the drawer. I then folded the remaining contact paper on the sides of the drawer down so they weren't sticking out. Then, I needed to reapply my handles that I had removed. Any excess bubbles in the contact paper can be solved by using a safety pin (or tack) to poke a tiny hole in the bubble. It smooths it right out, really! Step 4: Put everything together. Now, add your new (and cuter!) drawers into your lovely new cabinet, and voila! Here are my two different filing cabinets. Here is my 4-drawer cabinet with Jena's 2-drawer filing cabinet. (I love her colors, too!) Be sure to check out Jena's post here to see how she made her bright pink and gray chevron filing cabinet. I'm so excited to share all of the projects that I will be working on for my classroom throughout the summer, so don't forget to check back every Friday. Don't forget to link up your own 'artsy fartsy' projects at the bottom of my post. I look forward to seeing what everyone else is out there creating! An InLinkz Link-up

I've had this KitchenAid for about 10 years now {holy crap!}. I'm always so jealous of the adorable colors and patterns on newer versions of KitchenAids. So, I decided to make mine cute, too! It's easier than you think, and the costs are slim to none, especially if you're into DIY. As with any makeover, you *have* to see the before and after: My mixer isn't anything fancy, but I love it! Start out by giving the mixer a good cleaning. You probably should at least wipe it down every couple of years months anyway... unless you're a slacker like me who hasn't cleaned the thing for waaay too long! Since I'm a sucker for chevron, I put together a chevron pattern on the computer and cut out the vinyl on the Silhouette. This is where it gets fun - create a design that fits your personality! You could even cut out the design with scissors and/or an Xacto knife if you don't have access to a Silhouette or vinyl cutter. I used turquoise vinyl from My Vinyl Direct I love how it looks! Can't wait to makeover more of my appliances and accessories!! **Disclosure: I received the vinyl to review from My Vinyl Direct. All opinions are my own.**
