Skirts!!

I wear mostly only skirts and dresses, I make most of them and a lot of JoLee's too so I won't bore you with pictures of all of them but here's a couple of my favorites I made this week.


Do you remember this thrifted vintage sheet that I got for $2 and was still in the original package? Well...I made this Circle Skirt for JoLee out of it, isn't it cute?! The tutorial was on the blog MADE and I finally decided to try it out... EASY PEASY with her very clear directions and my serger!!! MADE is one of my far-o-rite blogs, she had all kinds of great free patterns and tuts!!

She loves how she can spin in it...
and feels just like a ballerina, however I can't get her to actually wear it because she's afraid of getting it dirty.

I made this one for myself, also from a thrifted vintage sheet, I just love the colors together and you wouldn't believe how soft it is!!
JoLee was my photographer...

Okay, just one more pic, a close up so you can see how pretty it is. I know I'm a dork (Brian remind me all the time) but that's ok, I love that the Lord blessed me with so many wonderful talents and I'm proud to show off His gifts in me!! Not to mention all the money I save!!

Alright I'll show you one more...

We were being silly, JoLee did a good job huh?

Island Revamp

Brian built this island for me on afternoon a couple of years ago from some scraps he brought home from a job. I needed more counter and cabinet space and he delivered in just a few short hours.
This is what it looks like now! He built this beautiful butcher block top out of raw wood and painted the bottom to match the rest of our cabinets it is beautiful!!
I am a very blessed woman to have such an amazingly talented hubby!!
