Long Time No See!

Sorry lately I've been busy and haven't been here to entertain you all! This weekend I will be putting up LOTS of sewing things so sharpen those needles.

I have one quick beauty tip. This works every time a pimple pops up. This beauty:

That's right, toothpaste. Put a dab on your pimple, go to sleep and wa-la! Clean skin! Careful with your pillow though. You might want to put down a towel down

DIY Pearl Pins

I saw something similar in a store and thought, 'Why not make my own?'

 1. Once the glue gun in heated up, put a little dot on the end of the pin.

 2. Press the pearl on the glue and hold for 5 seconds

 3. Wear and enjoy!

DIY Bubble Bath

I love bubble baths but it can be expensive if you get the mix at a Bath and Body Works. So I hit Google and found this recipe to make my own.

 For this You'll Need:

A measuring cup

a mason jar (or other container)

an egg white

a few drops of food coloring

a few drops of an essential oil (found at your local drug store)

1/2 cup liquid hand soap

1 tsp honey

Mix all the ingredients in the measuring cup well, once it has a nice consistency pour into the mason jar and you're done!

 Now you'll have a bubble bath that smells great. It makes a great gift too.

Paper Hearts

I recently made these Paper Hearts to tape to my windows

 If you like them, they're super easy to make! (Sorry no pictures to follow)

 1. Rip out about 5 pages from an old book

2. Fold them in half

3. Draw a half of a heart (I could fit three hearts on the page

4. Cut them out

5. Unfold them and tape them on your windows, walls, or wherever!
