T-Shirt Maxi Dress Tutorial
Hello!
Last year I shared this tutorial for a maxi dress made from a t-shirt. My daughter wore it all summer and as I watched her wear it I realized that the sewing pattern could be improved upon a little bit.
Two summers ago I made her this t-shirt dress. I really liked the way the waistband came together on that one so I decided to combine the 2 patterns into one!
DIY Pretty Ponies Necklace
The first Saturday in May is coming up this week, which around here means one thing! It’s Kentucky Derby time! In celebration I’m excited to share with you these Pony Party Favors!
The city of Louisville rolls out the red carpet once a year and welcomes the world. The entire 2 weeks leading up to the Derby is full of lots of fun local events, it’s truly the best time of the year to be in Kentucky.
Coach Appreciation Printable
This is an idea that I shared a couple of years ago, but it was shared as part of a larger post on another blog. I thought that the idea of it got a bit lost among all of the other information in that post.
With the end of the school year approaching (HELLO, when did that happen? Isn’t it still January?) I thought that I would share it again. Especially for those of you who are looking for ideas to say “THANK YOU” to all of the sports coaches in your child’s life.
DIY Happy Birthday t-shirts with Rhonna Designs
Last week my twins turned 12! I can not hardly believe it, there was a time that I thought they’d be babies forever (this thought usually occurred in the middle of the night with 2 screaming babies).
A day before their birthday my daughter said to me “Mom, I don’t have a birthday t-shirt!”…… This surprised me as I don’t think she has EVER had a birthday t-shirt.
DIY Sparkle Sneakers
Joann’s Fabric & Crafts emailed me with a challenge. Make a video to demonstrate a simple and easy craft that would inspire others to want to create! It’s part of their Creativity Made Simple campaign and I just LOVE the idea behind it. It’s all about inspiring others to carve out time in their day for a little creative time.
