Finally, finally, FINALLY! There is a new craft show on TV. It is called Craft Wars. The first episode airs on TLC tonight. Now I can spill the beans. I auditioned for it.
Yep. I made a total goof of myself in my audition video. I sound like I have a lisp because of the microphone on Husband's point and shoot camera. Despite that the casting people asked me to reshoot it and add bigger projects to my audition video. That's why I'm wearing different clothes during the last part of my video. I took it as a good sign.
I had to sign a contract that I wouldn't tell anyone until after the show airs even if they didn't cast me. I figure it's OK because the first episode airs tonight.

15 Tie Dye Projects
I'm no longer a Girl Scout camp tie dye failure thanks to the tie dye drop cloth shoe project I made for Tulip.
Researching and trying different types of tie-dye techniques besides the hippie dippy circle thingies that never came out for me (see Girl Scout camp tie dye failure and mean girl mocking) might have turned me into a wee bit of an addict.
I wear these shoes everywhere.

Bandana Tablecloth
When I mention my love of cloth tablecloths and napkins (I
never run out of either. I just do laundry!), one of the first objections is
usually the expense. Especially if you have children who frequently spill things,
which mean you need more tablecloths and napkins while the spoiled set is in
the wash.

How to Organize Cancer Medications
Blitzkrieg had what the oncologist called a “spa day”instead of a chemo treatment last week. They did blood work, exams, played with
him, and feed him a redonculous amount of chicken baby food all day.
Blitzkrieg let them because he is kind like that.

The doctors feel Blitzkrieg is responding to the new cancer
treatment protocol and sent us home with an oral form of that week’s chemo
medication.
We are cautiously optimistic.
This is what it takes every day to keep our boy alive.

Tie Dye Drop Cloth Shoes
I lived in black cotton Chinese Mary Jane shoes in high
school because:
China flats in a cute color since I don’t need black as part of a uniform anymore and I’m trying to stick to my One Small Green Change of only buying shoes that fit.
- I also wore them for my color guard uniform.
- China flats are one of the styles that always fit my weird kid sized feet and don’t give me blisters.
I dyed these shoes
with a Tulip Tie Dye Kit. (affiliate link)
It was easier and less messy than that fussy stuff in a bucket.
I didn’t anticipate how hard it was going to be to find a
pair of China
flats! I finally bought a new pair off eBay for $2.99. The price is right but
the color is a bore.

I'm in a Holding Pattern
It only took a few weeks after Blitzkrieg started
chemotherapy to put his cancer in remission. Blitzkrieg still needs to keep his
weekly appointments and daily medication to keep the lymphoma at bay. As we
deal with side affects, good days, and meh days these last two months I didn’t
dare utter the word remission because
I thought I might jinx things.
Hi everyone.
Last week I started to feel confident about using the word.
I was going to update the Blitzkrieg Cancer Treatment Fund page using Remission as the post title.
After Blitzkrieg’s Monday chemotherapy appointment, the
oncologist said she wanted to talk to Husband and I. That’s never good.
Blitzkrieg’s lymphoma is back.

DIY Drop Cloth Grill Cover
If it doesn’t move, grill it. That’s my summer cooking
mantra. Vegetables, fruit, meat, and fish are all fair game when it comes to
grilling.
A few Christmases ago, we got a gas grill upgrade and a cover to protect it from Ohio winters.
Two years later the grill looks great.
The grill cover does not.
Mother Nature is the
reason we do not have nice things.
