Evan, You will be so proud of me and dang it, I am proud of myself!

Can I be proud of myself?

Is that a perfectly sane thing to feel about ones self?

To go with the cute shirt I have been challenged to make(but am not finished with) I decided to add some ruffles to an old sweater.

Making ruffles is super easy!

I found this cute checked fabric at the Goodwill bins about a month ago and I used it on this bolster pillow but still had a bunch left, so I found a tutorial online for Handmade Napkins here. I have a friends wedding coming up and thought some napkins and napkin rings would be a great gift. Still looking for the perfect napkin rings to make. Thanks to the Purl Bee for this napkin tutorial!

This is a quick post today. I saw this skirt made from tee's over at Beelieve and loved the way it looked. Of course mine is a bit different. T-shirts really are great material for a comfy skirt. I made this skirt in about an hour. I just started cutting shirts apart and piecing them together. Next time I will try overlapping more, like Karen from Beelieve did. I even used a long piece from a tee for the drawstring.

I love looking at the clothes in the J.Crew catalog and while I was looking I came across this silk tank top and I remembered this vintage silk slip that I had found a while back, dug it out and decided I would turn it into this.

I talked about this before, right here, but I never actually did it, now that I have done it(and a pretty crappy job at that), I want to try again. I actually think I could make a cute swim suit out of a t-shirt. I also have figured out easier ways to do it, which seems to happen when you make something for the first time. The second time always brings about changes to how I did it the first time.

We have a wild game of Nertz with the same 6 friends each month and this month I wanted to make something fun for them to take home with them. This isn't the first candle holder I have made with recycled jars, you can see the others here and here, but this is the first that I have used playing cards on. It took me a few tries to come up with this but eventually I got it worked out. These were a lot of fun to make. Try one for yourself. They make great gifts.

I found these two sundresses at the thrift store and loved the material and thought they both could be used for apron material. I started with the red flowered tulle one and am still working on the blue one.

I saw this over a year ago on the Elsie Marley blog and never did anything with it until now. I thought about embroidering something on it but just went with the fun fabric instead.

I made my way to a Goodwill Outlet yesterday that was way out in the sticks but people have told me its the best one in the area so I finally got out there to check it out. They were right it was pretty good.
