Pregnancy Yogurt Facial

Okay Soo I realize this is going to sound a little Odd but sure I'll throw this one out there. I have had some severe pregnancy Acne. Pregnancy GLOW My Rear unless they were talking about red glow. Soooo any whom . Talk to my Doctor who was seriously Unhelpful. She told my I could use Salicic Acid the standard Zit be gone creams on the market. My thought was kinda Hey thank you I obviously been washing my face with Mud but now that you tell me to use clearisil i'm sure that will help!! Heads up I have been changing my facial Regime lately trying to find something Magical. Cause it wasn't just blemishes it was some like purple scarring like my skin looking super irritated and I know I need something SOOTHING !! well in my website search I Looked for Pregnancy Acne cream cause I have pregnancy pimples this is NOT standard for me and I never had zits in high school. Belli pregnancy Acne wash is about OHHHH 25 dollars for a tube !! I would have to order it online cause the standard CVS , WalGreens,  Rite aid in my area do not carry this supposedly Magical Cure. however what did they say was the Magical CURE!! Lactic Acid was the main ingredient. Well that sounds familiar Lactic Acid, lactic Acid, does anything else have lactic acid in it. Google ..... sour milk or yogurt has lactic acid in it!!! Okay I'm totally down to spend a dollar on some all natural yogurt and see what happens!! Well I took a cold spoonful of that stuff and Rubbed it between my fingers. Then I massaged into my face I was a little scared but I think you could go generously. but always test a small little bit of skin with any new product my motto. soo I woke up my skin is not perfect but seems a lot less irritated. I will tell you in about a week.

Refinishing Patio Furniture


I Finally Did it Bloggers I redid My Patio Furniture in-time for this Summer!!
As you can Tell this was a Hand me Down patio Set in Green and what was once a Hunter green with burgundy stripe Cushion.. Sun Bleached Ain't it!!  I also have a table That BTW doesn't actually go with this set. Right Beggars can't be choosers hey it worked but now time to make it Mine and ADORABLENESS!!

Soo I washed the cushions in my washing machine only one at a time kids  and I Washed the furniture with a wire Brush and soap.

I Then Painted the chairs with a LOVELY Black spray Rustolium paint in HIGH GLOSS !! SHINY!!!

The I thought about what to do with the Cushions !!! Buy new ones No Im not made of money!!!
Well Then I thought recover!!! again that could be expensive and Really time consuming and eventually I will get a New set !! Red Dye I read that was a bad Idea soo what did that LEAVE ME PAINT!! But I didn't want to get Fabric Paint soo I Bought acrylic paint and Textile MEDIUM!!!

now you mix 1/3 with 2/3 acrylic. As seen Pictured

Then you have to Bake it on now The bottle says IRON But I wasn't really like that method .. Handy Google said you could use the Dryer or the OVEN I might end up giving them a final Seal in the Dryer but to get them dry and ready the first time OVEN

Then I added my Lovely Black Polka DOTS at Randomness and painted the trim BLACK!!! BRILLIANT

Of course you dont have to refinish your furniture in Lady BIG creativity is always appreciated be sure to comment with some pictures of your redone patio furniture

The Crib or Why do I always Pick a project

The 4 Poster Crib !! I picked up on craigslist it has a matching Armior and is rather adorable However Things I couldn't tell when I looked at my gorgeous crib on craigslist.

1. the dam thing is really tall really really tall
2. The paint is a total redo Sorry You can tell in my camera phone pic but yeah
3. They didn't give me all the parts (I'm losing My mind) hoping that they Find this part and continue the transaction

I'm now at a total Loss and I feel totally Cheated and I'm kinda Over craigslist at the moment!!


So after buying the crib $150
Refinishing cost $50
Teeth bar $50
Getting Parts if the people do not reply Somewhere in the neighbor hood of $50 -$100 dollars

I will look back on this fondly Right Right !!! :/ Annoyed you bet !!

Sad thing is I m totally fallin in love for this crib Besides being totally unique which I do Love I love 4 posters beds It just look soo fancy. It also as you can  tell super tall and Way Big. Its original I have never seen another one. I really don't know a terribly amount about this crib besides its all hardwood very well made.

If this crib does happen to look familiar Let me Know but countless Googles Have led to nothing. I will post this picture when the nursery is Entirely Finished and Im satisfied and between me and my husband everything about this crib will be structurally sound

One day I will stop torturing myself and just get what everyone else  gets till then I'll have too suffer through all my projects and Face palm for Life. yeah refinishing is not cheaper its just a suckers game for people who like punishment. If you have the drive and such then you can truly Have a one of a kind piece and special memories.

As they say on project Runway make it work

Appliqueing For Dummies and the world's Smallest Quilting

I hate that Every time I go Looking for Blogs about appliqueing or Quilting they assume I know what they are talking about like my grandmother sat me down and that we had this amazing heart to heart one sunday after noon about the joys of quilting and there must have been this book that everyone who quilts got and I obviously  Didn't have the book because there are quilters and there are Non Quilters and soo I'm going to tell you about what I learn As I go along and it will be Quilting for the semi-slow to Moderately Brain Damaged.

The First Thing I did and I didn't take Pictures of Me appliqueing was Me making a Burp Cloth For Julia
I printed off the letters and I appliqued them with Heat and BOND nothing else simple Heat and Bond I didn't even go back with a Embroidery Floss My friend asked me how I did this soo I decided to make a Itty bitty tutorial.

You needs some
Fabric this is just scraps
Iron
Scissors
Heat N Bond



Iron With the Pretty Side Up and I prefer to Cut the shape out after wards cause if you cute the shape First then Would you believe that paper will stick to your Iron where there is no fabric between the iron and the heat source Just figured I would share this with the class 


 Because I can't hold a Camera and cut out a Shape What you missed I cut the shape into a heart Sure simple I did not use a template So no judging my work. I still think its Nice I tried

Because Im kind and Have a since of Humor Instead of showing you that I'm perfect I'll show you Im totally Flawed and My machine is NEW!!! and I really haven't played with it >.< But now instead of thinking I can't do that you can now Think I know I can do better then that girl. I hope your now filled with Encouragement


The World's Tiniest Quilts Guess What it gets better and would you believe The last one was the yellow with the Purple heart and look at that stitch work BRILLIANT!!  I also Mini quilted this Soo Now I have a quilted Hankie!! or something Cute Huh :P
