let the DIY project begin

I had to pass up work today (for reasons I shall not divulge as they only give me headache), and found myself inspired by this creative, pretty momma. And so I headed out and bought a fresh supply of glue sticks and some rags. Unfortunately, my old, trusty glue gun is already a goner, so I made do with a candle to melt a glue stick; and with just a few hair pins and wooden beads from an old necklace, voila! DIY mania began...

My first attempt at making a hair pin.
I'm not really happy about it, but hey, I tried!

Now this one's more like it.

And look, I even had the guts to spruce up an old, plain tank top! I can say I made a pretty decent job, don't you think?

Now let's see if I can make something more out of this new "talent".
