Some Craft Stuff

After St. Patrick's day this year, JoAnns Fabric was selling headbands for 70% off!

Of course they were green.



So I covered them with fabric and now they look like this.




Of course Novalee doesn't want them and Sadie just takes them off. :)

Last weekend very last minute I was asked to go with my dad to Mary Poppins! I was so excited! I love going to see musicals and Mary Poppins from what I had heard promised to be amazing!

My step-mom told me that I didn't need to wear anything formal but if I had something nice and summer-ish I should wear that.

Well I didn't really have anything. And I only had about 40 minutes to get ready and go.

So I pulled out this shirt from the closet.



I bought it about four years ago and I don't think I've ever worn it. I don't know what I was thinking when I got it. With the long puffy sleeves and long tight cuffs and the deep v-neck that tightens around the waist I felt more like a pirate than a lady every time I tried it on.



Not exactly a look I was trying for. :)

But after looking at the shirt this last time trying to figure out if it would ever work, I thought maybe it would be just the thing if I altered it a bit.

It turned out just right.



And we had lots of fun! :)

Okay last project.

Here is a skirt that I rarely wore because it reminded me more of a slip than a skirt.

(Can you tell I already cut it? :) I always forget to take pre-project photos.) :)

So I turned it into a skirt for Novalee.


Now it doesn't have to take up residence in the local landfill and Novalee has a new skirt. :)
