Dress Use #66: Table Runner (Tee-Pee and Turkey Net)

I went shopping today thinking that I would be able to score some nice Thanksgiving decorations on the cheap. I think I was a day or two late. There was nothing to be found at any of the stores I went to because apparently Christmas has already taken over. I really like Christmas but not […]

Dress Use #64: Bib

I sell boxes. I have been selling boxes for over 13 years. As a young boy I dreamed of being either an FBI agent, a firefighter, or a box salesman. The first 2 options ultimately seemed a bit drab for me which is why I have been busy peddling paper and plastic products for the […]

R.I.P. Sly the Cat

I got the bad news today that the main character for the photo shoot for dress use #34, litter box liner, passed away.  My time with Sly was limited but he was I know from those closer to him that he will be missed.  I’m glad we were able to include him in my project […]

Dress Use #63 – Cultural Event Attire

Every once in a while Tucson surprises me and I realize what a cool town it is. It’s probably not the most exciting place to live by a lot of people’s standards but my town has a lot of character. An event I had heard a lot about but never attended is the annual All […]

Classic E-mail of Wedding Dress Trade

From time to time people e-mail me at myexwifesweddingdress@gmail.com to tell me what they did with their wedding dresses or what they would like to see me do with mine. This e-mail from Joan really made me laugh. What is the value of a once worn wedding dress? Here is her take . . . […]

Dress Use #62 – Halloween Costume

I did a little trick-or-treating tonight. The benefit of the wedding dress costume is that it also doubled as candy sack.  I took a little break next to a pile of trash someone in my neighborhood had staged on their sidewalk.  I was calling myself a caveman but a couple people thought I was Moses. […]

Halloween Ideas

With Halloween around the corner I would like to share this picture I was sent a few months back. Wedding dresses can be incorporated into costumes in a lot of different ways. I think my Halloween costume this year is pretty good and it is made entirely from my ex-wife’s wedding dress and a few […]

Dress Use #60 – Tow Rope

I heard a song on the radio this week for the first time – Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri.  I have no idea how long it has been out for but I have to admit that I like it a lot – not because I connect to it but just because you can really […]

Dress Use #59: Shower Curtain

I posted dress use 59 as dust cloth not realizing that I had already used that one. Shower curtain is a use that wasn’t on my original list but that many people suggested on this blog. I think it turned out pretty good so I thank those of you who suggested it. I received an […]

Wash the Dress?

So it turns out my last dress use posted, dust cloth, was a duplicate. I didn’t remember doing it but that post is evidence that his whole project I have taken on hasn’t been planned particularly well. My brother and I started taking pictures, in no particular order, and now I find myself a little […]
