I've got two tshirts that have reached the end of their lives (and have shrunk too much in the wash over the years) and I'm trying to think of something fun to turn them into. They were quite fitted to begin with which rules out most of the reconstructions on here, so I was...

I have known about them for around 8 years, now, and I'm wondering why no one on here has made any/posted projects/how-to's for them! They're very expensive to buy online, but economical in the long run. You only have to buy them once, whereas, disposable pads/sanitary...

The hair itself, I love...it's the current 'style' I'm sporting that I hate. I have espresso-black/brown hair, and it's very thick, and naturally wavy-curly. My ex husband never let me cut it, when we were together, until I finally did a couple months after my daughter was...

Hey everyone. I go through a small orange prescription pill container every month and I used to save them thinking I could come up with something to make from them, but I'm still stumped. I have played around with the idea of melting them down to make something but I have no...

So, I went and order Bento boxes for both my daughter's and mine lunches, so we could cut down on the use of sandwich baggies. We just got them the other day. Now, after two days of use, I'm absolutely in love with mine. I was wondering if others have Bento boxes and if they...

My daughter and I have been drinking soy and almond milk for as long as she's been around(nearly 3 years). Of course, she didn't actually start drinking it till she was 1, but I was drinking it while breastfeeding her. I've been told horrific things about soy milk, and over...

So, I just completed my first piece of bead embroidery, and I want to cut it out from the cloth I made it on. I'm not sure, however, how to keep it from unraveling after I do that. I considered hemming the edges to the back, but that seems like a lot of work, and not exactly...
