Something funny to lighten the end of the week a bit…
Oh my god I have the best friends! My friends in the US Pure Girl Blue and her husband are hilarious and have my exact sense of humour 😀
Being so super awesome they made a video of their take on James and my lives… I present to you:
I am laughing SO hard right now, hope you guys enjoyed it and it brightened up your day like it did mine!
My dirty clothes tend to end up on the floor. It’s a problem, mostly the problem is laziness. Partially the problem was I didn’t have a laundry basket in the bedroom.
Problem solved by making a super cute one!

Here’s the page from the Home Sweet Home Diary! Dirty Clothes. How can I store them? I hate those floppy baskets that always end up falling down! This sucks. Solution? $12 Bin painted up cutely 😀 I made a liner with an old dress. Looking pretty good now! Goodbye ugly dirty clothes! Let’s get started!
This is the bin that I picked up from a junk store for $12. It’s not the prettiest thing in the world but not bad! I painted it with acrylic paint mixed with PVA glue.
It took several coats and needed to have a base coat of the PVA so it stuck properly. Had I been thinking before I started I would have just laid down some masking tape but I didn’t so after finished I cleaned it up by scraping the extra off.
Once it was all dry I needed to make a liner. I used an old Bodyline dress which had a pretty serious stain on it. The best thing about using an old dress is that most of the sewing is already done!
Measuring how far down to make the frill so it overlaps the handles:
And the inside before it’s sewn up.
This is the dress I recycled, I wore it pretty much to death so now I’m going to be recycling it into several different things so the pretty pattern isn’t lost!
First was the frill to hold it in place in the top. I used elastic but you could also use a drawstring.
Inside out with the elastic it looks like a bubble skirt XD
Make sure your elastic has enough stretch that it can easily get on and off the bin otherwise the whole thing is a bit pointless XD
After sewing on the elastic:
Now to fix the bottom so the clothes don’t just fall out the other end! First I removed the straps (I’ll make hair ties with these later)
Then I removed the detailing at the top and cut it off in a nice straight line so it was easy to sew. I’ll remake that pretty detailing into a collar or something else pretty too.
Then it was just a matter of sewing up the bottom!
Easy!!
And it fits quite a lot of clothes in it too which is good because I hate doing laundry XD
And pop the lid back on and you can hide all of James’ gross dirty socks!!
Pretty cute solution, what do you guys think?
My home is starting to come together well! It’s much tidier already 😀 |

A New Segment For Fridays
Hey guys!
Good morning!
Sorry, you’ll have to bear with me, I have really bad hiccups, so annoying!
I thought that today I would introduce you to a new segment!
Hiccups!
I’ll hopefully be doing this every Friday now.
So Friday videos will no longer be tutorials.
They are going to be like question and answer kind of things.
Whatever you guys want to see really.
Some of the ideas I was thinking of so far are a hair routine video.
I know that one has been requested a lot in the comments.
Maybe a skin care routine, foundation routine.
I’ve been seeing a lot of fun tag videos lately so let me know what you think.
Something fun.
Something fun to film that’s not just a plain boring tutorial. I’m still going to be doing 2 tutorials a week but on Fridays I thought it would be fun to do something a little different.
So it’s up to you what you want to see, let me know in the comments and like the comments of things you want to see.
Hopefully it can be really fun to do and a good pick me up on a boring Friday!
I’ll see you guys next Friday with the first one.
Ouch!
