Refitting Mens Tees

I'm constantly amazed at how easy you can resize, reuse,& repurpose clothing. I saw it today on Project Run& Play when Delia *from DeliaCreates took an old cardigan dress making it a smaller, much cuter cardigan for her little lady. 

&I've been hard at work, making my own man little mens shirts. 

I shouldn't even claim it as hard work, seeing as it only takes me about 20 minutes to whip one up. 

Family Photo Session!!

I could make list after list of things that I would LIKE to have. Actually lists are just my thing & i actually do have that list, but it only has three things on it, i swear. 

One of the things that just didn't make the cut, but is seriously going to someday....

a clickety thing that makes my Nikon take photos. 

You know, that thing. 

I'm not sure what it's called, but boy would family photo's look nicer with it! When we don't splurge on getting them done (we did for maternity/newborn photos early this year), I just throw down a random white sheet and snap away. 

it's fun& it's great practice. 

Flannel Friday ..

Flannel Friday 

Not because I'm really doing a theme or anything, but mostly because it happened to rhyme which makes everything infinitely more fun. 

I had previously warned mentioned that this was coming, posts posts posts of glorious fall outfits. I'm enjoying the design aspect& thoughtful process that goes into making clothing. 

Heidi&Finn Hooded Sweatshirt

Quite a while ago I purchased  Heidi&Finn's Urban Hoodie/sweatshirt pattern after viewing an awesome batman hoodie of it by Max California, & realizing it would be a great addition for a family of one boy& one girl ... which makes "buying in bulk" a laughable matter considering how different there styles are. 

With this pattern I was surprised to see that it could easily be interchanged for both boys& girls... yay for us frugal mommies! 

How to lengthen kids pants/jeans!

After me& the hubby decided that I would stay home with the kids we knew we would have to start being more .... money conscious. Not that we couldn't splurge on something like... well pants, but that's not the point. My daughters pants fit her amazing in the waist& terribly for the length. 

Am i the only one raising a little bean pole? 

course not. 

So here is how to get one more year out of those pants.
