Cheese Bowl Tuna Salad :)

A quick yummy lunch. I made cheese bowls by heating the cheese in the oven (the microwave is easier) and letting them cool into bowl shapes over drinking glasses. Of course I found my ramekins afterwards which do work much better!
My cheese by tuna salad today contains:

Tuna Fish
Orange Pepper
Red Onion
Black Pepper
Avocado
Fish Sauce
Peanut Sauce
And a little Korean Kimchee Sauce for kick :)

Next time I'll nix the sauces and just go with lemon and a little Himalayan sea salt.

DIY Leather Purse - Recycled Leather Jacket

I decided to take an old leather jacket and go green with it! I had some fabric left over from some pants I altered and decided I wanted to make some matching accessories (a bracelet may be next.)

Leathernu - Leather Furniture Repair

Leathernu - Leather Furniture Repair DIY
I bought a box of Leathernu several months ago and I finally got around to trying it out on my poor helpless WHITE couch. Now I know why people don't buy white couches or even worse, bonded leather. (IE bonded pleather; it's either leather or it's not, lesson learned.) Leathernu works like a charm but will probably take me a few applications to get the swing of it. Since this was a first time testing it out, I didn't mix the colors to get the off-white I needed for my couch on the second layer and it DOES show. I will be doing a third coat or layer of coloring and use the pointy white tip to mix some of the brown in before applying it directly to the chair. I will then clean and condition the whole piece with my Leather Therapy and leather oil condition that I usually get from the tac shop but you can get them through the link down below also. Good luck with your project!

DIY: The Interchangeable Bead Strap Dress

DIY Bead Strap Dress
 I had a dress that I bought at Ross or some other little cheapy shop for the beach. The around-the-neck ties went all helter skelter on me. This is the second time I've replaced them, I like the change and it's not like it's a Vera Wang or something. I've been wanting to use the big 4 color button for a while but decided not to on this dress. Maybe a ring later? I bought some super grip elastic and put it in the upper back area to keep the dress from slipping as it is a size to large for me. I love that stuff!
