Cutting down

I've been remiss in my duties Ladies and Gents.  This Dame has been on a hiatus for entirely too long.  I've started my evening projects again.  Tonight it was to take a shirt of mine that was a XXXL and I turned it into an XL.  I'm sorry for the poor lighting and well, the smartalec tongue in the second pic.  Neither picture really convays the shear size difference that was done. But enough...here's the pics. 

Before 

After

I did this project after watching a video tutorial.  I kinda wish I had rewatched it right before doing this as I see where I made a few mistakes.  Overall, I plan on doing this a few more times as I continue to loose weight.  If you'd like to cut down some of your shirts folks, check out this tutorial.

Thanks folks for not flaking out on me and check back soon.  Lots more posts to follow...I promise!

A small project

A fairy contacted me and my sister recently and asked if we knew of anywhere she might be able to move to.  Being the kind people Michelle and I are, we decided that not only could we help find her a new location but even help build her a new place to live.  I bought a few things today for this fairy, I hope she'll like the before and after of these. 

The fence doesn't show very well but after I worked with a bit of paint, well it looks a bit like reclaimed wood. 

It doesn't look like a lot but keep your eyes pealed over the next few weeks as Michelle and I continue to work on the home and where the fairy ends up living.
