Sew Crafty

One of my Pinterest boards in entitled "Sew Crafty." This week I actually got around to making a few things from that board as well as my second ever pattern project.

The boys got new superhero capes made from men's t-shirts that I got from the SWAP shop. Super duper easy and cute even if you leave them un-embellished. Of course, you could always applique their favorite superhero symbol on the back.


This was my pattern project...a new skirt for me! The pattern was $1 from Walmart and I'd gotten the fabric for free so this was a really great, frugal project.


I was even happier that it came out well because this skirt has POCKETS which is an awesome thing in case you didn't know.


I had a good bit of fabric left over so I decided last minute to make Piper a little pillowcase dress to match Mommy's skirt. Didn't we look cute Sunday morning? = )


Piper got to wear her new dress on her very first day in the big girl class at church! I can't believe she's left the baby nursery behind for the 1-year old class but she loved it. 


I loved sewing this week and it's inspired me to do even more projects especially for Piper---it's so much fun making sweet little dresses for little girls!

    Very impressed with your initiative! The skirt is so fun and colorful! Must be all that bike riding that's giving you the extra energy to sew! :)

    For some reason your pictures on here have stopped showing up for me. :-( Not sure what's going on but at least I was able to see them on Facebook. Great job on the skirt. Your crafting/sewing has given me new motivation to get my scrapbook/craft room organized so I can get back to doing crafty things. Keep up the great work! Love ya girl!

5 Reasons I Should Stay Off Facebook

1. TMI So, I remember the weirdest things but one brief conversation I had over 10 years ago stands out to me. It was high school and like all high school girls I had friends, enemies, and frienemies. One of my then-frienemies (we've grown up since then!) was friends with one of my enemies. Standing by the lockers one day, frienemy walks up and says in reference to enemy something like, "She shares too much information. Sometimes it's almost like, 'Hey, guys. I just farted.'" Of course, at the time I ate this up and laughed at her expense but over the years it's been a little reminder that more often than not I need to shut up. Just shut up. I've often been tempted (and have too often given in to the temptation) to over share. I think the Internet feels far safer than it really is. I need to remember that. 2. Friends...or Stalkers? Speaking of "friends", I have 321 of them. I know that number is much higher for many of you, but ...

24 Days of Thankfulness: Day 12

She is 12 years old going on 30. She is the epitome of the term "free-spirited." She sings opera in the shower and can ride a bike with no hands and her eyes closed. She can beat all the boys at football at PE. She has her own style and isn't afraid to show it off. She dances for His glory. She can stand on her hands. When she laughs everyone laughs with her. Sometimes I look at her and my heart aches for the years past when I didn't always know what a treasure I had. She is growing--I get to see her maturing a little each day, growing not only in stature but also spiritually and mentally. What a treat it is to sit across from her each day and see the wheels turning in her head! She is the prettiest mad scientist I've ever seen. She is artsy and crafty. She is big sister  extraordinaire! She bickers and complains but without a doubt she loves and that love is returned.  She holds them close and asks for hugs and kisses. Sh...

Jackie's Busy Birthday

Alternately Titled: I'm Really Excited That We Saved a Boatload of Money Today. Today was a super busy day! First off I took the boys to the doctor--more on that later. Then we went to Target to get Jathan some church shoes (and a Barrel of Monkeys). When we got home we left almost immediately to go to Mellow Mushroom for Jackie's birthday. Yep, he's another year older today but don't worry, he hasn't shown any signs of growing up yet. = P We had gotten a couple of gift certificates to Mellow Mushroom, one of our favorite pizza joints, through New Orleans Perks where you can get 1/2 price certificates to different restaurants. So instead of spending $30, we spent $15 and filled up on some DELICIOUS cheesy garlic bread and the house special. After Mellow Mushroom we went to Academy Sports so that Keeleigh could look around. She's been wanting a tent to play in and they had a 7x7 one on clearance for $16! She's so excited that she wanted to set in up on the b...
