What I Wore

Today is one of those days where I just don't have anything to say/blog about. So instead, here are some pictures of a dress that will be for sale soon if I ever actually get around to listing things in my shop (tomorrow, hopefully).

Outfit details: vintage dress and belt, Von Maur sweater, DIY shoes, JewelMint bracelet

DIY Fabric Wrapped Vase

In my ever-present struggle to never throw anything away, I've found myself in possession of a lot of glass bottles. So I decided to try and actually use them for something. A vase was the obvious choice, but I figured I could come up with something a little better looking than a cranberry juice label.

What you need:

• fabric scraps
• scissors
• hot glue
• glass bottle

Start by cutting the fabric into 1 inch wide strips. Twist the fabric and glue the end of it toward the bottom of the bottle. Start wrapping the twisted fabric around the bottle from bottom to top, gluing pieces as you go. Make sure the fabric completely covers the label, allow the glue to dry, and you're done! Just fill your vase with flowers or whatever.

Colorful Bookcase

Last week, while dealing with a case of writer's block, I decided to completely rearrange my bookcase. This led to pretty much rearranging my entire living room, but that's a different story.

I decided to arrange my books by color. That's normal, right?

 

Also, yes that is Arrested Development on the TV. Who else is excited for the new season??

Blue Moon Orange Smoothie

Here's another drink recipe using one of my favorite beers. You probably already know that Blue Moon just isn't the same without an orange. So I just took that to the next level with this smoothie.

For this recipe, you'll need one bottle of Blue Moon, 2 scoops of orange sherbet, 1/2 cup of orange juice, and one orange slice (not pictured because I forgot to buy an orange at the grocery store and didn't want to go back just for one orange).

Mix the beer, sherbet, and orange juice in a blender. Pour into your glass, and add your orange slice to the top. Done! Enjoy your delicious summer beverage.

Cool Stuff

Here's some cool stuff I've found around the internet over the last few weeks:

• If Super Mario characters were hipsters...
• Fab just launched a "designed by you" section of its site that lets people customize their own furniture. If I had any money I'd be all about this.
• This dude created a video based on a joke that his drunk wife told about tortilla chips. Do I really need to explain why you need to watch it?
• Why are women DIY entrepreneurs called hobbyists? 
• I really want to try plant pressing this year, so these tips could come in handy.
• Tape art - some people's creativity truly amazes me.
• If you've ever wondered what it would be like if a bunch of corgis had a beach party, you're in luck.
• 20 ways to celebrate spring.
