Tutorial - Owl Case For iPod Touch
Thursday, May 23, 2013
Today I have a really fun and adorable little project to show you! And since it's just so cute, I know you're going to want one for yourself, so I'll show you how to make it!
For my sister's birthday, she not-so-subtly hinted that she would like an owl case for her iPod Touch. I really didn't mind, I'd rather give her something that I know she really wants than shopping for hours on end and not finding the exact right thing! That, and I really love giving handmade gifts!
Mabo Kids Gingham Drawstring Shorts Knock-Off
Tuesday, May 21, 2013
I really love a good knock-off! It is so much fun for me to find a look that I LOVE and see if I can recreate it. Pinterest really is my largest source of inspiration. I have spent hours laying in bed at night, pinning. Tell me you haven't done the same??? :) I also love browsing kids clothing websites, and then, of course, pinning looks that inspire me.
The look I'm showing you today was inspired by mabo kids. A very fun website to browse!
Little Girl's Summer Nightgown
Thursday, May 16, 2013
My kids are just growing by leaps and bounds... Does anyone else have this problem with their children? ;) As I was looking through Olivia's wardrobe to see what was needed most, summer pjs were at the top of the list. I thought a nightgown would fit the bill just perfectly. I think this one is pretty sweet. Or maybe it's the girlie that's so sweet :)
I had a very specific style of nightgown in mind for this project and then went on a pattern hunt. Wow! Have you tried searching Pinterest for nightgown patterns??? Or elsewhere on the web... Not an easy thing to find, I discovered!
Strawberries & Cream Cake
Tuesday, May 14, 2013
Strawberries are in season here in NC!!! While I would love to say the strawberries I used for this cake are from my garden, it sadly isn't so.... Once I figure out how to protect them from the deer, rabbits & weeds, you can bet I will grow my own! :)
I had 6 lbs of fresh strawberries from our local strawberry farm in my house and had to get creative in using them up! The first 3 lbs I chopped up & added a bit of sugar, then we devoured them over top of vanilla ice cream and our cereal in the mornings. Oh my. Yum.
Mini Boden Jersey Baggies Knock-Off
Thursday, May 9, 2013
A little while ago I spotted these adorable and uber comfy looking shorts on Mini Boden's website. I really like to browse on there looking for inspiration for sewing for my munchkins. As soon as I saw them I knew I would have to try to knock these off! And I had just the fabric in my "re-purpose stash"!
The inspiration:
My version:
For practically $0, I managed to copy them, and am pretty happy with the outcome!
