T-shirt Dress

A couple of months ago, my friend asked me to help with a sewing project for the teen-aged girls at church. We made t-shirt dresses, like the one from Tripping Over Joy, here. I made this one for myself as a practice before showing the girls how to do it.


I made my waist high enough to leave room for my expanding belly. I also left my dress long. A lot of the girls cut theirs to knee length, which looked really cute, too. I wish I had gotten a picture of some of the girls' dressed, because they all turned our really cute.

I also made a little flower to pin onto my shirt with leftover fabric from the skirt. I used this tutorial, although I just cut circles instead of flower shapes.

Different Kind of Creating

It has been a while since I have posted here. I haven't totally disappeared off the face of the earth, just been preoccupied. Most of the month of March and April I didn't do too much crafting because I was feeling sick from the other creating my body was doing.


I had to borrow this picture from This Little Project. I thought it was pretty clever.

We found out we are having another boy, due mid October. My boys are super excited to get another brother!

May and June we had a couple big vacations, so I didn't get back into the blogging habit. Now that we have a free summer, I hope to catch up posting the few things I have made the last couple months, and hopefully I can post a little more regularly some fun crafts and things that we do this summer. I made a list of activities and crafts to do with my boys this summer, so I will share some of those. If you want some ideas of the fun activities we have planned, you can check my Kid's Activities Pinterest board here.

Here's a quick craft we did for the Fourth of July. I got the idea here, although I think it was linked to from one of my pins.


Hope you had a happy Independence Day!
