Ties

Having had two full summers in Vegas, I'm aware of how hot it can get here. Knowing this, I decided that I didn't want to dress our son in 'Sunday layers' for church. When I read Made, who featured Saltwater Kids during 'Celebrate the Boy' month in February, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

Isn't it perfect? The yellow one matches the skirt I made our daughter. I'm so excited for him to come in June and to be able to dress my little man in his Tie Onsies.

DIY Laundry Soap

I finally did it. I've been wanting to try out Homemade laundry soap, but had not found a recipe I liked until now. It was easy, simple, perfect. Our clothes smell divin and the are clean and bright. You'll be able to find all the stats and the recipe here.

I love the smell of success.

Presents

For my birthday I made myself some little gifts. I've been looking at this little number since my girlfriend made several for Christmas gifts.

I came up with a pattern for my wallet. I have a heavy black number I loose in any purse and did not find one in the stores that I loved. I have a couple adjustments to make, but I really like it.

Feel the Flames

I received a hand-me-down car carrier for Curvy. It was a simple black/gray/red number. I upgraded it.

How did I come to choose this fabric? Well, I thought, this is Dale's son and so Dale should pick out the fabric for the crib. What I had in mind and what Dale had in mind were completely different. I vetoed him for the crib but thought, he should have some say in one of my projects, so he got the carrier. I surprised him with the above, needless to say, He loved it. I'm glad, I like it too.

Oversized T-Shirts

My mom gave me some new over sized t-shirts to wear. I really liked them, except that I felt like I was wearing an over sized t-shirt. I looked at other shirts I had and decided to add elastic. I think they turned out pretty cute.

More Bows

My daughter needed some 'summer' bows. I put together the following,


It took most of the afternoon, but I had a lot of fun. Jane now has a bow in every possible color for her summer clothes.

Market Skirt

I'm sure you've all heard of Dana from MADE. She is one of my favorites and she made this skirt for her daughter and I've been stocking up on fat quarters to make several of these cute skirts for my daughter. Thanks Dana for the great idea!

Shirt Dress

My husband has had a lot of dress shirts that are well worn. I've been meaning to alter them into sun dresses for our toddler. This was my first attempt.
Front/Back

Our model.

I think it turned out. I can't wait to make bumpers for her to wear.

Maternity Shirt

I was recently asked to be the Wolf Den Leader. They gave me a shirt, size Men's XXL. I used my existing maternity shirt to size the scout shirt down.

The end result:
