This week at Carrie This Home

I shared one of the best time saving secrets for bloggers.  It’s called *CoSchedule.  Imagine this:  as you’re writing a blog post, you can schedule unlimited pins for Pinterest, Facebook status updates, Google+ updates, Tweets on Twitter, and more all from your WordPress dashboard!  CoSchedule puts my social media outlets all in one screen saving me tons of time and keeping things organized.  If this sounds good–see my full review of CoSchedule here.

CoSchedule has allowed me to be successful with my blog and gives me more time with my family. It's a win-win! #blog

    Carrie,
    I loved your post about CoSchedule… about how your don’t want to give up your time with your family for your blog… I laughed as my son got a stinky diaper right as your party started lol back now… with everyone feeling fresh.

    Thanks for always having great posts!!

        Yeah… I got the time right this time. I clearly misread 8pm Central… So last week at 8pm Eastern I was sitting there trying to figure out why your link party wouldn’t load 🙁 Finally, I realized ohhh Central time 🙂

  4. […] Well hello! Are you enjoying the summer? I’m finding that summer break is just as busy as the school year, just more fun. Summer camp is getting the girls out for a few hours everyday, but I do feel like my uninterrupted crafting time is diminished. Though, I did find some time this week to make a tea towel for the kitchen to celebrate Independence Day. Remember the Falling Shamrock Tea Towel from back in March? Well this tea towel is very similar. Just the 4th of July version. I love using DecoArt Ink Effects on 100% cotton material, because it gives the design a watercolor effect. If you want bolder colors, make sure your fabric is at least 60% synthetic material. Supplies You’ll also need an iron. Paint a bunch of stars in various sizes, using the red and blue Ink Effects. I did a quick Google search for star outlines and traced a bunch of them. There were about 60. I am so not talented enough to freehand draw the stars. Let the paint dry for 45 minutes. Lay out your tea towel on top of another towel for ironing. Spray it with the base coat (if your fabric is less than 60% synthetic material) and let dry. Place your design painted side down, on the tea towel. Place a clean piece of paper on top of that. Iron on the cotton setting, with no steam, for about 3 minutes, constantly keeping the iron in motion.  Peel off the paper, and you should see your beautiful design transferred to the tea towel. Repeat process until done. I reused some of the stars I already transferred to layer a lighter transfer on top of the other ones. See photographic instructions here. The whole project only takes a couple of hours. So make one today!     {This post contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I may receive a small compensation to help pay for the blog.}   Linked to ~ Moonlight & Mason Jars, Someday Crafts, Link Party Palooza, Creative Collection, Think Pink Sunday, Sunday Showcase, Merry Monday, Nifty Thrifty Sunday, Submarine Sunday, Happiness Is Homemade, Our Sunday Best Showcase, 3 Mango Seeds, Huckleberry Love, CRAFT, Inspiration Monday, Mix It Up Monday, Mad Skills Party, Frugal Crafty Home […]
