Last Friday was my very last Purple Project. I can’t believe it has been a year since I challenged myself to purple-ize something each and every week for a full year. There have been 52 different Purple Projects. Some have been rousing successes and some have been abject failures. Some were fun and some were [...]
Today is my very last Purple Project of the year. I’ve had a blast doing each of the 52 weekly projects and I hope you’ve had a great time viewing them. My prayer is that you learn some things to do and some NOT to do. Remember that I made the mistakes so you don’t [...]
I came across an internet article on how to make a picture frame from an old CD case. I really didn’t like the finished product which used tin foil for a background and hung the CD case up with wire. I thought it was a great idea, though and so did lots of folks ‘cuz [...]
I have a special treat for you this week on The Purple Project! It’s a recipe and you’re going to think it’s truly purple-icious!! A friend of mine said she made a good chicken dish using grape jelly. I thought it sounded gross, but she said it was really good. So I looked online for [...]
Several of you have been looking through The Purple Project posts and finding some good craft ideas in there to remake your wardrobe. In just a month or so I’ll be done with my year long purple project and begin work on Purple-izing for Pennies. I’d love to know which projects are your favorites and [...]

One of my readers posted a comment the other day that I thought deserved an entire blog post. She said she would try to dye one of her articles of clothing because it’s cheaper than buying something purple in the store. EXACTLY! She’s got the purple purpose of my idea behind The Purple Project and [...]
I still haven’t found a purple fabric I like to finish last week’s “Jeans Skirt” project but I have a fun one for you this week anyway. I’ll come back to the Jeans Skirt next week. I only have 4 more purple projects to do to finish my one year commitment! How am I doing? [...]
This is going to be a two part project, not because the finished product will take two weeks to get done, but because I GOOFFED! I started with a gorgeous white on white (actually off white) patterned pair of jeans that I used to wear all the time. I loved them a great deal but [...]
This is The Purple Project #46! Only six more to go til the end of my one year Purple Project challenge to myself to make one purple craft project each week. How am I doing folks? This week’s project is a very simple one (though I hate sewing!) and inexpensive. I bought these dish towels [...]
