rag rug

i finally tried my hand at making a rag rug.

(these pics are taken from the laptop.  all of our camera batteries are dead.)

my first attempt looked more like a very loose hat.

i rewatched the videos. (she has the best tuts!)

this one is actually my second one.  i am using material here.  this is not finished.

my first one (well third attempt).  using old t-shirts.  not done either.  this one's going in to our laundry room.

or i may start a new fashion trend!

have a great day!

Photo part3

Picture 1 (In this post)

Select Soft Light

Picture 2 Go to Photo Effects and click Sepia.

Picture 3 You can click as many of the tints as you like. Hint: see the eyeball (you have to love that!!), when you click on it it takes away that layer so you can see how it looks without it, without deleting it.

There you go. it's easier than it looks! It's Christine Do-able!!

P. S. This doesn't work with every picture. Just try it, if not just try the old Auto Smart Fix under Enhance. Good luck! Let me know how it works for you!!!

Photo part 2

I'm going to have to do this in parts. I hope it works better that way.

Pictire 1. (after opening PSE)

Click the photo you want to work on.

Picture 2. In the layers section right click on the photo layer and select Duplicate Layer

Picture 3. In the layers sections still click on the arrow by Normal. A long window will come up.

Photo Enhancement

A dear friend asked me to do this. Do here it goes. The pictures aren't the greatest but I think you'll get the idea. Also, this is using Photoshop Elements.

How to get your pictures from Pictures A to Picture B.

Tools for Tuesday

Welcome to Tools for Tuesday where I share products/items that I use, love or just want to talk about!

Today I have for you "Hey Tom" Dryer Cleaner. It's not something I use all of the time. In fact, I have never cleaned out a dryer before. But these facts had me cleaning our dryer:

1. A lot of house fires start from an unclean dryer. (That was really all I needed.)

2. Dryers should be cleaned every two years.

I ordered this kit from the Flylady for under $20. I'm sure there are more out there. I also looked up our dryer for more detailed cleaning instructions. It was quick and pretty easy. If I could do it, you can do. It's Christine Doable!!! (is that how you spell that word?) You know, our dryer wasn't really that dirty, but I feel much better knowing that it's clean.

Well, that's all folks!!
