pegeen: Alice in Wonderland Photobooth
http://pegeens-commitments.blogspot.com/2012/07/alice-in-wonderland-photobooth.html
Saturday, July 14, 2012. Alice in Wonderland Photobooth. Alice in Wonderland is a great party theme. It just is; think of all the photo-ops! My lovely lady chose it for her birthday theme, and I knew immediately that I wanted to make her a photobooth. My muses were the Annie Liebovitz image from Vogue, along with a child's photobooth, and a color palette Pinboard that the birthday-girl decided on, below:. Alice child's booth here. And color inspiration board here. The chair rail was a definite find!

Wednesday, June 15, 2011. Priming, or Do What I Say, Not What I Do. This is not the most exciting post, but it is the most enthusiastic. Please, for the love of all that's holy, please, please. Prime your wooden furniture well before you try painting it. This is the parable of my bedside table. I started with this old wooden thrift store table, and sanded it to remove the (many) dings:. Next, I found an easy, lovely guide on the inestimable Young House Love. Here are images of steps one through 9:. I had...

pegeen: Pressed Flower Picture Mats
http://pegeens-commitments.blogspot.com/2012/07/pressed-flower-picture-mats.html
Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Pressed Flower Picture Mats. These make a lovely gift, and they don't cost any money. Pressing flowers is easy and takes no time at all, and then you can slap them onto whatever you want. You don't need any special equipment here; a big, heavy dictionary will do. Of course, a real flower press is really easy to make, but if you're just starting out, Fine Gardening has a really easy tutorial for doing so in a book's pages here. And now for a gratuitous kitty shot:. April 24, 2013.

pegeen: the zwinky that ate my life
http://pegeens-commitments.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-zwinky-that-ate-my-life.html
Thursday, December 27, 2012. The zwinky that ate my life. Not to get dramatic or anything, but it did. Every year I ask my niece to draw me a picture of what she wants her Halloween costume to look like, and then we make it for her. This year, the internet interceded. Are you sure it needs wings made out of bone? Dragon. Yes.". Do the see-through bits really need to be see-through? They're bone wings; if there's no skin then you wouldn't put heavy stuff on them.". Do you really want it to be navy blue?

Wednesday, September 21, 2011. When my lovely lady fair/ co-blogger. Decided to marry this summer, she asked me if I'd make a hair piece for her to wear to get married. I got so excited about the excuse to go craftstravaganza on this that I offered to make a fascinator for each of the bridesmaids, each to her taste as (hilariously) described by the bride. She thoughtfully sent me a brooch she'd chosen for each bridesmaid's piece, and another for her own, to use as a starting point:. Then I bought supplies.

pegeen: Victory Rolls V.1 - Rollers
http://pegeens-commitments.blogspot.com/2011/02/victory-rolls-v1-rollers.html
Friday, February 25, 2011. Victory Rolls V.1 - Rollers. Sponge rollers work miracles, but you look pretty ridiculous while they're setting. Pin-curls are my favorite way to achieve volume because I like the control of them, but if you're strapped for time you can always use foam rollers to get the same kind of look without having to use heat on your hair. I'm going for this Betty Grable look:. Now, on to the embarrassing photos! Pull the rollers in the direction you'd like the hair to go. Since I wan...

Tuesday, February 22, 2011. Victory Rolls V.1 - Pin Curling. The traditional, and heat-styling free way of creating these. Pin curls have been around forever and can be done easily with nothing more than the aforementioned pins. It's fun for a day when you don't have a lot to do before you're going out, or riveting airplanes with your friend:. I love pin curls. Is me attempting them! Keep the angle the same as you wind the hair up. Take the pins out and then brush the dickens out of those puppies. Th...

Monday, September 26, 2011. The Mother of Invention. I wanted a fusion of the 20's and 80's for a headpiece to wear to an upcoming wedding, but had a really limited color palette due to the wild fabric from which I'd made my dress. I also wanted bling, but only a diamond-colored brooch was available. Luckily for me, markers made my diamonds into rubies:. Colored-in with a regular permanent marker. After a couple of "coats" of marker ink, applied with the pen. And slapped onto a quickly-made feather pad.
