No Sew, Tee-Shirt Halter

Part of my Saturday morning routine is to sit on the couch with my coffee and my Mac and do one of my favorite things…PINTEREST! (don’t tell my husband…he thinks I am working on our candle website! 😀 …silly boy! who has time for that when there is PINTEREST!) I LOVE PINTEREST!  and could honestly waste an entire day lost in all the DIY projects!

Today I found this little tutorial at wobisobi.blogspot.com for a DIY, no sew, tee-shirt halter….I have already gone in my husbands tee-shirt drawer and picked the perfect blue tee-shirt for my project(husband got wind of what Tee-shirt I was going to cut up and I had to find a different one, so instead of the perfect summery blue I had to go with a dark navy)and have my scissors ready!

This was a great project!  Simple and in the end I have a cute halter to wear with my white shorts this summer.  I will update with pictures once I talk my daughter into being my model.  Or once this Minnesota weather gets warm enough for me to put shorts and a halter on.

 

Jeff’s Favorite Protein Bars

Homemade Blueberry Protein Bars ~ These are Jeff’s favorite protein bars.  They are “clean” by our standards – (3 ingredients or less).   I also put a teaspoon of natural peanut butter on these and eat them while drinking a cup of hot coffee! YUMMMMMM!!  If you make them let me know how you like them!  Good Luck!

Blueberry Protein Bars

½ Cup Splenda Brown Sugar

1-4 oz jar baby food organic apple/blueberry sauce

1 tsp Baking Powder

1 tsp Baking Soda

2 tsp Vanilla extract(pure)

4 Large Egg Whites

2/3 cup Natural Unsweetened Applesauce

2 cups Oat Flour

3 Scoops Blueberry or Vanilla Protein Powder

½ Cup Unsweetened Original Almond Milk

½ Cup Water

2 Cups Frozen Blueberries

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Grease 9×13 Pan (I used Coconut Oil). Combine first 7 ingredients & mix well. Add the final ingredients except the blueberries; mix until all dry ingredients have been absorbed then fold in the blueberries. Pour into your 9×13 pan and bake for at least 30 Minutes. Mine usually take longer but my oven does not heat evenly. I usually check after 30 minutes and then keep a close eye on them. Makes 12 servings.

Love me some cuteness!

I Love white Christmas lights….and when I say love what I really mean is LOVE!  There are so many cute easy projects you can do and adding white lights makes it 100 times better!

I picked up this old galvanized boot at an occasional shop several years ago. I am sure I was wasting hours away  looking for dinner recipes on Pinterest and stumbled upon something similar being immediately inspired to create something!

That weekend I drug my teenage daughter outside my youngest daughter and I hit the woods and sawed down several birch tree branches until I found the perfect two.

I put foam in the bottom of the boot to help keep the branches upright….I quickly found I needed to add rocks as well 🙂  It only tipped over a few times before I got it right. Then I strung some battery operated white lights around the branches and picked up an unfinished wooden birdhouse which I painted with some paint I had left over from another project.  I bought a little clip on bird from the dollar store and added that after the above photo was taken.  So happy with my results!  What do ya think?

Thanks for stopping by
