I am a product of the "Friends" generation and I still enjoy watching the re-runs on late night TV. In one of the episodes Joey and Phoebe have an argument when Joey declares that there is no such thing as a truly selfless act. The rest of the episode centers around Phoebe trying (and failing) to do something good for others that doesn't also make her feel good.
Last week I announced that I was going to shave my head at the annual St Balrdrick's fundraising event, to help raise money to fund Children's cancer research. I am not trying to imply that my choice is completely selfless because I know that I will benefit from this in many ways. But, I will tell you that I am quite nervous to do this and while I hate to ask people for their hard earned money that is the point of the whole thing. So I hope that you will consider donating a small 10 dollar donation to this worthy cause. It only takes a couple of minutes to be a hero to kids who need your help. (Oh and let's be honest. It would make my day too. ;-)

Upcycled - Men's Dress Shirt Make-Over
This project was so fast and easy.
Start with a men's dress shirt that isn't too big in the neck and shoulder area but fits loosely around your hips.
Step 1 - If desired swap out buttons. I went from brown to pink.
Step 2 - Add some decorative stitching in contrasting color.
Step 3 - Take in the sleeve and side seams.
Step 4 - Use excess sleeve fabric to make a rectangular cinch piece for the back.
Step 5 - Attach the cinch piece to the back waistline with more buttons and your done.
True confessions (I am having little four week love affair with my hair before I have to say goodbye to it.)
What do you think of my flash back to grade school look?
Thanks for stopping by and of course
Happy Upcycling,
