Galaxy Shirt

Galaxy clothing has become rather popular lately. I am way to cheap to go pay $20 or more for a shirt I could easily make at home.(With the help of pinterest of course)  I made my own shirt at home and posted it on Facebook, and my best friend texted me asking for directions. Therefore, I shall write a how-to blog just for her. :)

Materials:
Black T-shirt
Bleach
Water
Spray Bottle (I used a travel size)
Red, Blue, and White paint
Glitter Glue/Paint (Optional)

Step 1.
Slide cardboard in your shirt so the bleach does not soak through. Fill up a spray bottle with half bleach, half water. I barely used any of the mixture when spraying my shirt. You do not need a lot.

 I sprayed my shirt around 7 o'clock in the evening, and didn't rinse it with cold water until 10 o'clock in the morning. You obviously don't have to wait this long.

 Step 2: Paint time!

 Mix paint with some water. I used sponge brushes. I also used the red and blue to make a purple paint.

 Step 3: Sponge red paint around the bleach spots or wherever.

 Step 4: (I apologize for not having anymore good pictures; I had a lot of paint on my hands and did not want to touch the camera) Then blue, and purple. Basically, you just sponge paint into random places.  I also put white paint in the  center of the bleach spots to lighten it up.  I then dipped a paint brush (it is better to use a toothbrush I've heard, but I had no old tooth brushes) and flicked paint specks onto the shirt. I then dipped a sharp pencil into paint and drew x's and t's to make stars. I also took some silver glitter glue and brushed into onto the white spots.

 Later on that evening I decided that there just wasn't enough glitter. (I probably went overboard. Just a tad. :) I brushed red glitter glue onto the red spots in random areas, and blue glitter glue onto the blue spots in random areas.

I wasn't 'thrilled' with the overall product, but for the most part I like it. It was mainly the material of the shirt; I got it from Goodwill and it was a sort of cashmere like material. It was just weird. I'd recommend using a cotton tee.

Wednesdays.

I finished the fourth season of Doctor Who.

Rose has the duplicate Doctor.
Donna can't remember anything.
The Doctor has no one. (Even though obviously he'll find a new companion soon.)

I feel sad for him, which is weird 'cause it's just a t.v. show, right?
But the real Doctor and Rose should be together. It's just weird. And dumb. And annoying.
So I went on Pinterest and found solace in their pictures.

SEE. Rose is right.

They were supposed to be together. Forever.

She came back for him.

But then was forced to leave again.

I mean he burned up a SUN just to say goodbye the first time.

Well, at least  Rose and the duplicate Doctor are together. They'll die together.

I'm just . . . bleh. And it's a Wednesday. I need to clean. I need to cook. But I feel empty.
ALSO. Last night, while I was being sad about Doctor Who, a Roach came scurrying across the living room floor. I hate roaches. Of course, I don't know anyone who likes roaches. Thanks to the help of my cat, Midnight we were able to defeat the horrible creature. Yuck.

Owl Pincushion

I am always leaving my pins everywhere for people to step on. 

And I love owls.

SO, I figured, why not make on owl pincushion?

And make on owl pincushion I did. I couldn't find any owl pincushions I liked on pinterest, so I just printed off an owl template craft.

Cut out the shapes and pinned them to the material. The material was just random scraps.

Pinned it all together. (I decided to use buttons for the eyes)

Sewed it all up, stuffed it with a rag, and inserted the pins!
