Turn A Skirt And Shirt Into Dress

At the thrift store I found a skirt that looked like it was hand made it wasn't very pretty or fit me but I liked the material and colors. In my closet I had a coral color shirt that matched the skirt. And since summer is on its way I decided that another summer dress wouldn't hurt.


Its very simple and easy to do and there is nothing to it.

Baby Head Band

After being very busy the past week and not being able to sew what I had started I decided to make something easy that I knew I could start and finish in the same day. And to make myself feel better that I finished something. I had a lot of material laying around that was used for curtains by my sister and she gave it all to me. I've been looking for ideas to make out of the curtains and this head band came to mind.
Originally I was going for a very big flower but it didn't turn out so big.

Last Minute Easter Decor Idea

If you actually see this post before Easter it might be of some use to you. If not I'm sorry for thinking of it so late. I was thinking of a gift to make for my husband for Easter, and though this would work great because if he doesn't like it then I will enjoy it. And it can be use as a decoration. 3 in 1.


I never really liked to color eggs for Easter and this year is the first year that I colored eggs after getting married, and I only did it because this idea came to me. This egg filled vase looks really good just as a decoration or even for a center piece.



All you do is put a skinnier vase inside the large vase to hold the flowers and put the eggs around. I added the moss just to fill the gap but it looks good without it also.



And husband was happy and surprised to receive a gift. I guess I set the bar high. hah.

Ruffled Scarf

Last weeks cold weather has brought out the scarfs again and looks like they are not going anywhere this week also. I'd like to share this awesome pretty scarf that I knitted. And the best part is that it doesn't have to be used to keep warm it can be used as an accessory and looks pretty good.

They are made from a special netted yarn, and come in many different colors.


And there are a bunch of ways to style it.
