Rockabilly Robynn ohhh where have you been???

Busy busy busy.  Doing what I am not quite sure. 

New developments in the hair department though.  Can we say BANGS and COLOR.  I do beleive the bangs should be shorter but I am still afraid of them.  Yes the bangs!  It's been a while since I have had them and my hair curls up all frizzy if I am not on top of them.   As for the color - dirty blonde just wasn't my color. The dirty part perhaps....mwahahahaha.  Back to a nice deep auburn for fall.  So now that I have the bangs what are my options?  I have taken a look around the interweb and have found some great styles I will be attempting in the near future. 

Cross your fingers fellow rockabilly's that my birthday comes along with a way coool tattoo.  Shhhh don't tell the hubby but I dream of a great necklace tattoo and sleeves.  LOL

Fun and Frugality - Vintage Purse Revamp

Okay so my current sewing projects aren't getting anywhere. Sometimes you get these great ideas and then all of a sudden the wind disappears from those sails. My sewing ability at the moment has declined due to lack of interest fighting with a certain sleeve of a certain sweater.

Alas do not fear!!! I do have a fun and frugal revamp. My girlfriend and I were out doing a little bit of garage sailing (where you sail past garage sales) and we came across some awesome finds. This is just one of my many. I came across this cute little orange purse for $5.00. It even smells like a grandma inside. Can't get much more retro than that!!! I also came across some studs. (Calm down ladies..the metal ones) They cost me about $.50. So this little project cost about $5.50 and took me about 10 minutes. Just what I like. Cheap and easy... errrrr...

The purse...

The studs....

Setting them on the pattern drawn on with an eye pencil.(wipes off easiest)

Viola.......CUTE!

Haven't disappeared

Well folks, it may seem like I have disappeared or this was a passing fad.  I am here to reassure you that I have not changed my mind on the retro revamp and I AM slowly but surely working on some projects. I got tangled in a few things and so this week for revamps and fun and frugalities my time has been limited. 

It started with this need to reorganize and tidy my craft area. For those of you crafting, you know how it can get.  I have also gotten caught up in a couple of side projects and will be sharing them with you at a later date. 

Normally you would get a fun and frugality but today it will be a look at some fantastic sites I have come across as of late.

This is on the list of my faves for blogs. So many creative ideas!!! If only I were this crafty!!!


I love nothing more than 1-vintage retro shtuff and 2 - great prices. This woman has an eye for a deal!!!

Fun and Frugal Continued - What's next???

I am liking this title fun and frugal so I am going to keep with it for a few more posts.  What's next?  Hmmmmmmm....Let me see.  So many things to do!!!!

I have some new projects to begin. 

This shirt is great because it has a built in corsette. Only problem is it is looking a little worn and it needs a little bit of taking in.  Stay tuned for this revamp. 

I love this skirt and have worn it a few times but I think it is time for it to be revamped Rockabilly Style!!!!

I love this little apron and since I have been doing some housewifey canning and shtuff I have been wanting a cute frilly apron. I also figure that my daughter needs one too. Will be posting the apron of choice tutorial soon.

Looking forward to showing you all the fun and frugalities!!!
