Alter a Bra to Fit

Do you own a Sports Bra that is too tight?  Just cut vertically down the middle and insert fabric between the cut. Pin to each side and sew.

Voila! A bra that fits.  Alternately, you could add fabric with a zipper in the middle.

PEACE


One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack)

by Dennis Lambert & Brian Potter, performed by The Original Caste (1970)
This song was performed by Jinx Dawson and Coven in the movie "Billy Jack" (1971)
 
Listen, children, to a story
That was written long ago,
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley-folk below.

On the mountain was a treasure
Buried deep beneath the stone,
And the valley-people swore
They'd have it for their very own.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Now the valley cried with anger,
"Mount your horses! Draw your sword!"
And they killed the mountain-people,
So they won their just reward.

Now they stood beside the treasure,
On the mountain, dark and red.
Turned the stone and looked beneath it...
"Peace on Earth" was all it said.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Go ahead and hate your neighbor,
Go ahead and cheat a friend.
Do it in the name of Heaven,
You can justify it in the end.
There won't be any trumpets blowing
Come the judgement day,
On the bloody morning after....
One tin soldier rides away.

Make Jewelry/Jewelry Boxes--Recycle Egg Shell Cartons


Make Jewelry Out of Egg Cartons


I hate heavy jewelry. It just makes me feel "weighed down." So, I came up with the idea of making jewelry out of egg cartons! What lighter material could you find? And, if you lose an earring or a bracelet, it's easily replaceable!


Just cut the egg carton cups into whatever shapes you want--oval, round, square, triangle. Attach to ear wires (for pierced ears). You are done!


http://jewelry-making.com/dropearrings.htmlHere is a link that teaches how to make beaded jewelry. Just use the same materials listed here, but replace beads with egg shell cartons. 

Turn Egg Cartons into Jewelry Boxes

How to Make Egg Carton Jewelry Boxes
Get a large egg carton and paint the egg carton with some paint mixed in with a bit of white glue. This will help it stick to the waxy surface. Let dry. Trim some cloth with pinking shears (c) and glu earound the insideedge of a tin pan. Then place the egg carton inside the tin pan (f). Decorate the top of the egg carton lid with shells, imitation jewels, beads, string, macaroni noodles, or whatever you think will look nice. The egg carton works nice for separating your jewelry.
