Current DIYs in Progress: UV Resin and Milk Carton Crafts
Sorry for that little hiatus there!
My laptop’s internal battery overheated and put my computer out of commission for awhile, so it’s been unusable over the weekend while I waited for the replacement battery to arrive. Now it’s installed and everything seems to be running smoothly again.
So I took some time to work on some DIYs, including my new favorite material, UV resin. So simple and easy to use – and perfect for the bright, sunny weather we’re having here in Portland! 
It cures within minutes, is completely clear, and layers images and charms so beautifully. 
I finally found an equivalent available here in the U.S., so once I’m done testing it I’ll be sharing the tutorial with everyone! 
The above are just some pieces I put together quickly…and will likely be listing in my Etsy shop once I relaunch that.
Given that I couldn’t use my computer, I spent much of the weekend also having some quality family time. Yesterday I helped my son make a DIY bird feeder out of an old milk carton, some twigs, and some buttons. 
So far the birds in our garden haven’t noticed it…but it’s just a matter of time…

I’ve got a bad cold so am heading to bed early…but hopefully a full night of Nyquil-induced sleep will have me back behind the computer and get this tutorial up for you guys!
Hope you like it! Til tomorrow then…
I’ve been hard at work on a little personal project that I can’t wait to share with all of you. If everything goes well and I can finish wrapping this up…I’ll be done and launching it tomorrow.
I am soooo backlogged with DIY’s! It’s so frustrating to walk into my office every day and see a pile of stuff that I’m just dying to finish up, but can’t spare even an extra minute to do right now. Yes, I’m still working on the Balenciaga Cut-Out Boots. Yes, I’m still working on the Gothic Lolita Bunny Bag. My office is a complete mess, I can’t see my desk, and I can’t even get to my sewing table. But I’m also dying to do a project involving the above…since they just arrived in the mail and are tempting me with their ethereal beauty. I find jewelry projects so more satisfying since usually they can be finished fairly quickly, and enjoyed all the more rapidly.
