I wanted to represent a multitude of individuals using the nails, and then coloured string to show how we are all interconnected, and that together, we can make something beautiful.
Amazing art by Dominique Falla.
Cuteness overload! Upcycled pet beds by Atomic Attic.

In my weekend projects post of a week ago I was inspired to do a couple of DIYs. I enjoyed doing them so much that I’m starting a new section in the blog called “Inspiration: Motivation”, where I’ll use photos that inspire me to make things on my own. This will be the first.
I started with the knotted shirt, I originally thought it would be a good idea to use a t-shirt, cut it into strings and knot away but after visiting my local craft store I changed my mind and decided to use wool instead. Even thought I was satisfied with the results, I think I would go back to my original idea. The knotted shirt made out of wool needs more body, a heavier material could’ve worked better.
The studded boots were so much fun to do! I went to Michaels to buy some studs but to my surprise they didn’t have any! I had the option to buy them online but I didn’t want to wait another week to get them. Luckily, my boyfriend found Daddy’s Leather Supply, a local leather supply store. I decided to go on Saturday, the store is in the middle of warehouses and was a little tricky to get to but I’m so glad found it. The owner Lui was so helpful! I told him what I wanted to do and he took his time to explain how and what tools to use. Thanks to him I was able to add the studs to my vintage boots without any problems. I added some studs to my daughter’s chucks too!

I still don’t know how but I want to make two DIY projects out of these photos. The first image is by Fashion Photographer Peter Lindbergh, and the boots I found at Urban Outfitters selling for $348! I certainly can’t afford that so I’m taking the challenge. I’m going thrifting/craft shopping to hopefully find the right materials and experiment. I’ll share the results next Friday. Happy long weekend!
One of my dearest friends asked me to be her Maid of Honor last night and I couldn’t be more ecstatic! First of all, because I love her and I feel so honored to have been chosen and secondly, because I’ve never been to a wedding before. I can’t wait to help her make decisions for the big day.
I’ve started to look into my new duties as a Maid of Honor and I stumble upon these super adorable cake toppers. They’re custom made! You just have to specify your characteristics and let Lace & Rubbish do the rest.
