I told ya I'd find use for those buttons yesterday! I had fun making this. And I just put it on Claire, and it's even cuter! My inspiration was one of these $0.25 buttons.
Grabbed one of her plain tees, and embroidered on another piece of material. I'd embroider right on the shirt, but I've heard that the threads can rub their skin and irritate it, so I opted for adding this fabric. Hey, I could also use this shirt on a boy...maybe?
Of course I'm putting a pink onesie underneath this for those who think my baby looks like a boy. Poor girl, she gets that a lot.
Ok, so I also put her in embroidered jeans...gotta make sure they know she's a girl! and P. S. Pink blankets don't help.
What would you do on a baby tee with these buttons? Go here

Fix'a Skirt for a $1
I got a really great deal on buttons at Joann Fabrics. I just couldn't pass them up. Plus I had a 10% off coupon on everything. They can totally change up anything ordinary. I'll be showing you some of my creations the next few days.
On to the skirt! At Marshall's it pays to look around. I found this skirt for a $1 on clearance. Three of the loops were half off, and it was too big for me.
I sewed up the loops, and then took in the sides to fit. I love it! With spring/summer coming, I'll appreciate the lightweight material of this skirt. It's gonna look great with a brown belt too. For now I'm thinking some gray tights and my brown boots. Ahh..comfort.

Meat and Veggie Quiche
Sewright
Blog by Ruth Yoder
Ahh...I finally made a Quiche. It's been awhile since I whipped up some eggs and tossed them in the oven.
She is at this bookcase several times a day talking to the books. Hopefully she'll be as excited to read them when she gets older! If they were plants, they'd probably get bigger. ;)
Now Claire, find me my recipe book?
Ingredients for Tasty Quiche:
1 Pie Crust
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1-1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup Torn Fresh Spinach
1/4 Cup Sliced Fresh mushrooms
1/4 Cup diced green pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Dash ground nutmeg
3/4 cup chopped cooked ham or you can use salami
1 cup shredded Swiss
1/2 Cup Shredded Cheddar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Renew your lips using your chapstick and toothbrush.
Put on chapstick and use your toothbrush to scrub your lips. Repeat until all dry skin is off. Rinse your lips and dry with a wash cloth. Add more chapstick. Its not Mary Kay's Stuff, but it's pretty amazing. Enjoy!
