How To Convert A T-Shirt Into A Sexy Dress

Yoga party

Through one of my fav blogs party perfect, I found this posting about a yoga party. It was for a little girl, but how awesome would it be for adults? Maybe a little event for my sorority sisters?

The invites were made to look like little rolled up yoga mats - the cutest idea ever

The party banner was made of "prayer flags"... whatever that is, it's cute

And they screen printed organic t-shirts at the party (with a happy mandala sign)

Cute bookplates

I can't remember where I found them, but it was a free printable file. They are super cute! I love the idea of bookplates, and want to put them in all my books. Should I find one particular style to use on all of them? or should I use whatever catches my fancy at the time, like these? Hmm

Make this!

How to make a collage-type poster with your own images:
1. Start with a sheet of paper the desired size of your poster (If it's larger than average, you can find paper on a roll purchaseable by the yard - I found some in the framing section at Manglesen's)
2. Gather all the pictures you'd like to use in a folder on your computer. For a poster like the one above, change them all to greyscale. To make the image (in this case, a peace sign) choose the pictures to be that image, and change the tint. You can do this by fiddling with your computer's image editor, or go to lunapic.com, upload the photo, under the adjust tab select black and white, then under that same tab select color tint.
3. Once you have all your pictures, print them off or send them to a photo lab (i use walgreens.com)
4. Choose placement of photos, cut your colored pictures to the desired shape, and glue everything down using a spray adhesive or other glue - rubber cement works well. Make sure to choose an adhesive that can be pulled up and moved or re-cut if necessary.
5. You can take it somewhere and have it laminated if you would like, or just hang as is.

I'm back!

So if I had time to knit anymore, my next project would come from this guy. Knitkid is awesome! I love it that he sent hats to random people on his flickr, for free. It also helps that his designs are sweet :)

I've always wanted to make a terrarium
