Movie Recommendation

watched this:
last night
from this gem of an invention:
and loved it.
there were some words that would be better left out,
but all in all it is a touching, refreshing change from
immature, dirty humor that's in 90% of movies these days.

Sick and Twisted

someone send this girl to therapy.

My New Obsession

yes, it's true.
my husband would tell you that i have crafter's-ADD.
this means that i find a project i like and i nearly obsess about it.
i'll do it whenever i get a free minute.
then i find another project (completely irrelevant to last stated project),
and suddenly i'm obsessed with it.
am i the only one with this condition?
here is my latest:
norah dresses made from recycled t-shirts.
love them because:
a. they are each unique.
you won't see one just like it walkin' down the street
(the same reason i love all things handmade)
b. they are incredibly inexpensive (cost me oh, maybe $2 tops, each)
c. they are comfy (at least they look comfy to me)
d. they have lots of room for growin'!
she'll be wearin that green and blue on til she goes to kindergarten,
guaranteed.
well maybe.
no, her toe is not breaking off in the above picture.
yes, her toes are really that hypermobile.
if only this chicka let me put piggies in her hair. look at that long messy hair!
ok, now go obsess over your own t-shirt dresses.

Monday

Norah in Her Element

i love capturing norah in her element.
this morning she pretended like I didn't exist.
this is a rarity.
so I grabbed my camera.


if you happened to notice her dress,
i made it out of this $1 D.I shirt:
the way those ruffles fall on those sweet chunky legs.
oh, i could just die.

New Colors!


I just posted a bunch of new crocheted headbands on my Etsy shop.
Stay tuned for a similar post with some really fun little girl's headbands.

Friday

You Must Be Sick of Seeing Close Ups of My Chest..

my apologies.

before, blah:
a new shirt.
with ruffles.
all for the bargain price of free.
lovely.
and just to throw some non-chesties in here,
check out this cute cowgirl:

Thursday

My Etsy Shop

i have been putting off "debuting" my etsy.com shop on my blog
because i have so much more i want to add to it
(more colors, patterns, designs, scarves, pictures, etc).
i've decided it's going to be an ongoing process
& i'll just have to let you know whenever i add new things.
so, without further ado (oh so formal),


i was so excited when i had my first sale
that i took a picture:

Wednesday

Another Refashioning

Before, blah:
After, ruffles!:
i'd post a super detailed, picture-filled tutorial of each step i took but seriously, i barely had time to make the shirt!
plus, that's for an entirely different blog in general.
would anyone be interested if i were to create a blog where i detail allllll of my millions of projects?! ha.
1. i cut off 10 inches of the sleeves,
(i planned on hemming the sleeves but i love the way this stretchy material looks with a raw edge)
2. cut them into strips,
3. created ruffles out of them.
4. sewed 'em on!
i love it, and it was so easy and so fun!

Tuesday

Got 15 Minutes?

i just "refashioned" an old turtleneck into this:
using this tutorial.
not bad for the last 15 minutes of nap time.
i think i have about 5 more in my closet that could use this facelift.
lately i have discovered the exciting world
of "refashioning" or "upcycling" clothes.
i will no longer be dropping off garbage bags of clothes at the DI
at every clothes/season change.
i'm sure my husband's wallet will thank me.

Monday

Are You For REAL?

If you want a good laugh:


The funny part is: it isn't a joke.

Sunday

Playing With Dad

yes, my husband was a male cheerleader for all 3 BYU's,
and norah and i love it.
