limber kimber

you know...when it rains..it pours.. for example: the day my water heater went out (like i found a mini swimming pool in my laundry room (luckily i rent...so no harm to me..)
except when i went to move all my craft crap out of the way and dropped my gallon of kitchen paint on the floor (i had already used it so it was half gone luckily) i literally got my hands in and scooped it up as FAST as possible..

and when it was all cleaned up...
i looked down and found...

paint pants. on my most favoritest yoga pants.

and no i don't do yoga. limber kimber became a nickname more for the reason that it rhymed than anything else.

but i did go to the gym in them...and they were awesome and didn't shrink into high waters when washed..and they made my bum look bumalicious. (old navy)

so i was bummed (Not licious...just bummed)

AND I thought to myself. be resourceful....

so i grabbed my freezer paper.

and got on my cameo...and made a stencil and fancied them up a bit...

(let me tell you how bad i wanted to put agaagg down the side...SO BAD) but i didn't want to be vain...and i didn't want to get stopped by people at the gym asking what the crap agaagg was...to which i would reply, "the sound i make when i throw up after i work out to hard at the gym)

ironed it on

(break: if you have never tried freezer paper stencil...you are missing out. its easy..and super fun....kids would love it.

you just take freezer paper...cut out a design (free hand if you want) and iron it shiny side down on the chosen article of clothing. then iron makes it stick...basically like a big sticker. you paint in your design and then peel off the paper when done!)

i used tulip fabric paint....it's the best..it will make it feel unstiff

mixed it with white and went to town...i wanted it a bit distressed so it's darker in some and lighter in some...then i splattered it with more blue paint (to match the already splattered marks)

then i added pink

i then decided to add some little splash of color on the other leg

and now i can go back to the gym without looking like i dropped some blue crap on my leg!!!!!

 so if you drop some paint on some clothes...don't throw them out! just upcycle them!
