My new favorite happy song, something so innocent and playful about it! LOVE!

Here it is kittens, my first tutorial.....a super easy T-Shirt Necklace!  I love mine, it is super comfy and casual yet can add some funk to a borrrrring office outfit in a snap!

First things first, gather your supplies! You will need an old t-shirt, some shapr scissors and a sewing machine....OR a needle and thread! Told yah, this one is easy peasy! From here on out in order to follow the instructions click on each image below to see the full size and detailed directions will be below! GOOD LUCK!

Phew! Wow, so there you go my very first tutorial. I hope it is easy to follow, because it is super easy to do! I am a very visual person, hence the photos...I hope that helps? I would really love feedback folks! So please, what do you think? Do share! And post pictures of your finished necklace on your blog or flickr so I can see them!

PS: You may notice my blue necklace is very layered. It is two necklaces worn together. See how much fun you can have with this? I made a braided one like I just showed you and then with an old jersey cotton sheet I made a super long one with just the twisty tubes. I just wrap it around a few times.

1.   The strangest thing I've ever eaten is: Deep fried fois gras bites, its was disgusting  

2.  I wouldn't be caught dead in: well I am a pretty tacky girl, so there isn't much I wont try wearing at least once. Life is too short! But I can tell you I wont re-visit my raver girl phat pant days that's for sure!

3.  When I am 75 I will: Hopefully live on a farm in the country, be fit and healthy and surrounded by friends and family  

4.  If I had to be named after a place I would want to be named: Eden (blushes) not because I think I am paradise or anything, I just think it is such a pretty name. And, well, there is hope and a sense of history in it....I like that. 

5.  My real name is: Cami Leanne Fasan, but I spell it Kami. And yes, I rhyme.   

6.  My all time favorite photo is: a photo of me standing at the top of a stair well in high school, dressed in thrifted vintage finds, casually turning around to laugh at someone. It is so real and casual, and I look very very happy. 

Now head over to "The Little Things We Do" and join the fun!

Just finished my first set and am already craving more! I love fall, a lil bit cooler so time for funky jeans and chunky boots, but still warm enough for sexy tanks. Toss on a scarf and your ready to go. Man, I wanna go shopping now! Waaaaaaaaaaah!

In other news I am hoping to take a silk screening class but it is full right now and I am on the waitlist, number one on the list though! Fingers crossed! I am also looking into a pattern drafting class as I am loving sewing so much that I would love to be able to better understand patterns, they are kind of still all gibberish to me.

I finally caved and shelled out the dough for a proper cut and color job, and it was SO WORTH IT! I foudn a great new salon called Bangtown that is like tattoo parlor/grammas house/barber shop/western saloon. I could live there! Lots of kitchy virgin mary art, velvet elvis paintings, old school paint by numbers....LOVE! My stylist was amazing, had the COOLEST tattoos and his adorable doggy was chilling with us too.

So today, I am crafting away with my super awesome new hair and listening to my new favorite band TILLY AND THE WALL!!!!

And just for fun.....I had to throw in this great Tank Girl/Peaches video I found on YouTube!

And my new favorite music video....Tank Girl meets Peacehs. OMFG! Best combo EVER!!!!

1.  If I didn't have to work anymore I would: make art allllllll day long! I would start painting again, Id sew, Id fill my house with crafts and I would do a lot of thrifting!

2.  My favorite thing about a vacation is: the excitement of waking up that first morning and knowing you can do whatever you want! Anything! A world of choice and freedom    

3.  When packing for a trip I: always make sure I have my Ipod with a kickass playlist, my camera, and a journal! Essentials

4.  If I could go on a road trip with anyone (dead OR alive) I would choose: hmmmmm honestly I dont know why but all that pops into my head is Janis Joplin. Driving around in an old Vdub van with big tacky shades on, getting into all sorts of mischief...probably in a desert.     

5.  My top 3 absolute travel essentials are: LOL! See numero three!

6.  Vacations are: Mandatory, they are good for your mental health!

7.  On vacation you must always: do whatever you want and not feel pressured to do something just to make someone else happy. Its you time baby! Soak it up! Thats what I say at least, but I am a hedonist when on vac-cay!     

It's the dog dayz of summer, last long weekend before the cool weather rolls in. What are your plans? We havelots! I'm excited! The hubby is at a golf tournament today, we have an annual pig roast with friends tomorrow, planning some trips to the PNE, lots of crafting, painting outside in the garden and of course lovely naps with my katz. Oh and a haircut with possibly a new color! Ill keep yah posted.

There is a few things around my house right now that I just love too much to not share! So of course a mini photo shoot was in order!

Super awesome thrifted quilt I found that I forgot I even had! Its actually something my gramma found from the thrift store she used to volunteer at.

It's proudly draped across my bed right now, the kitties approve.

Some super duper awesome thrifted tea cups I found to add to my collection....one day I will have to do a whole post on those!

This one told me that it really wants me to drink some champagne out of it soon :) That is another story.....

Yet another thrifty find! Vintage pillow case to be turned into a super awesome shirt, or if my hips will allow it skirt!

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeautiful sunflowers from my hubby!

But the best thing around my house right now? My hubby. Curled up in a blanket his gramma made for him, reading a book, drinking some tea. I love lazy dazy quiet nights, don't you?
