I was on a mean (CRAFTY) one the other day homies, and I haddddd to share:
Pochaloca projects are never done and always evolving. Here are some shirts/wrapped glasses and accessories I whipped up for my lady friends:



Gifted those rings to the homegirls at my coffee spot cuz they always hook it up and they just *hearted* them hard core. I'm a giver I tell ya! Just ask any of my customers. They always got some extra surprised their way!
My sweet wild mini-me got me all inspired with her ballet dancing that I had to give a DIY leotard a shot. I'm gonna say I did decent. A few adjustments and I'm in the money. My baby girl loves them except when the arm holes are too tight or the sleeve won't quit falling... working on it!
Even though the leotards were eh, I did manage to fall back on my other #craftcrap skills and fixed her up a ballet shirt! Not to mention I was able to work with one of those FAB Joanns coupons they like to send me as a preferred customer (Sign up for their Newsletter/Mailer PRONTO for those savings cuz they are crazy major plus they accept competitor coupons!FTW!) and swoop up some Frozen fabric which is expensive AF (FYI). So BAM. I'm in an awesome project for like a whole $7. This Frozen fabric was awesome cuz all you do is, mainly, is wrap it around your kid. and sew the ends together. Done. Throw in some straps with the scraps and now your cooking with peanut oil! HOT STUFF. Turned out that after using most of a yard, I had enough to make a matching wrap dress for mija's doll. A lil snip and sew made it shorter to fit and WHAAAAFREAKINLAA we got TWINSEY OUTFITS. I let my baby monster decorate it up with some jewels and she was so proud of her end results... LOVE ME SOME MOM MINI ME MOMENTS!!! XOXO



My last lil diddy I have for you lovely crafty compadres, is this desk that I did. Given to me by a really cool lady gave me. Nothing to it but to attack it with every and all supplies I had in the vault. I gave it some of my beloved JOANN'S FLEECE SERAPE material that I have never found again. I even went as far as to send many messages to them to see I could order it but there was some sort of communication error. I hope and pray that I stumble upon it again one day because let me tell you mi corazon skipped a freakin beat when I laid eyes on it. I even have the G'Ma on High Alert for this material. The key to this one is that its FLEECE and its not like a fleece that gets all pilled-out if your know what I mean... Ok, back to the desk. I wrapped the rest of the seat with some black tassels my G'Ma hooked me up with way back when. It was just enough to do with a lil to spare. Gotta love it. I thought long and hard as to what I should I do with the bare wood parts to this and I decided that I'd like to keep this as an heirloom of sorts if possible (I know I know. it IS fleece. But I'm thinking of covering it in that horrible plastic my other G'ma had on her couch. Loves.) for the kiddos. Decided on covering it in vintage orange crate labels from the Central Valley. A reminder of their roots. A reminder of who brought them their food. A reminder to be educated. I think its one of my favorite of things I've made so far. I dunno. Call me crazy, just don't call me late for dinner!
Cuts & Stitches Ma Bishes!!!
