How many times have you walked past an ugly apron at a thrift store or a yard sale? Well check this out as a way to rock an old one and make it pop. Adding touches of embroidery is easy. This camping embroidery idea came from Jenny Hart’s Sublime Stitching collection. I just drew it myself though instead of going through the ironing steps – each to his own though. I am headed off for a Summer camping trip and made an apron for the trip.

It is time to get crafting for Father’s Day. I made a “tool kit” but with personalized mix CD’s in place of tools. I used the Father’s Day Cartridge for the Happy Father’s Day and the American Alphabet cartridge loaded in the new Cricut Expression Anniversary Edition machine to make the Guitars. The pieces were cut out of grey suede paper and silver glitter paper.
For the tool box I found one at the craft store, spray painted it red and then used a sanding block to rough it up so it had a wear and tear look about it. Then I create custom play lists on i-tunes and burned them to CD’s.
Shhhh . . . Don’t tell the tall one!
Happy crafting xoxo

The short one wanted to play with face painting and so I used my Cricut to to cut designs onto card stock that would become my stencils. I used the Alphabet Cart out of the new Anniversary edition Cricut and the Luau cartridge.

Simple summer necklaces are a must. When you don’t want to wear much in the way of clothing because it’s damn hot, accessorizing really makes a difference.
This little number is inspired by Anthropologie’s Merit Badge Necklace. Theirs is $88, but you can make your own for a couple of bucks.
