I love the magazine section at our library. Today I’m devouring Country Living, House Beautiful and Dwell. They are due in a few days. Must soak in a little more inspiration before I return them.

You can find more creative spaces over at Kootoyoo.

wardrobe refashion: shirt to apron

By On July 29, 2009 · 4 Comments

Here’s the third shirt from last week’s garage sale purchases. These big, flouncy shirts came in style right after I had my daughter and I refused to buy any. I had just gotten out of maternity clothes. I didn’t want to buy shirts that made me look pregnant!

I [...]

remnants!

Last Saturday I discovered a little store called Stitches that creates custom drapes, valances, slip covers, etc. I found them through a garage sale listing on craigslist and I couldn’t resist the words “fabric sale.” I had originally planned to just look. I had no idea that things would be so inexpensive. [...]

I can’t believe that it is sunny and cool right now. We planned to go to the zoo with Kelly and Leith today, but it was raining. The weather report called for more rain right around the time we were going to meet. Plan B was going to the Ager Center.

Now that Bella [...]

Here’s the shirt from yesterday’s garage sale finds. I really liked the fabric, but the shirt was a little bit too frilly for me.

The first thing I did was cut off the gathered cuff and replace it with a simple rolled hem. Next I removed the ruffle [...]

I found some cute shirts at a garage sale this morning. I’ve already refashioned two, but it was too dark to take the second “after” photo. Here’s the first one.

The top portion was a little tight and the bottom was big enough to be a skirt. Ha! A skirt! I cut [...]

my first granny squares

I needed a small, portable project for our trip to Kearney last weekend. In the past, my travel projects have mostly been socks. Now that my daughter is older, I prefer something that doesn’t require so many needles and won’t completely unravel if I throw it in my bag to chase her [...]

my little perch

By On July 22, 2009 · 1 Comment

Last week Bella tried swimming in the bathtub. I asked her if she wanted to take swimming lessons and she said, “YES!” There just happened to be a class open that started this week so I signed her up. Every day so far has had its own milestone.

Monday: This day was a little [...]
