Cardigan a'New

Baby trying to swipe this shirt.

 There are so many awesome things you can do with buttons. I love them...and collect them.  This cardigan has always been a little boring for me. I've had it forever, and I've worn it...twice. wow. So, I tried it out with the yellow buttons.

 I Really like it. Also love Yellow and Gray together, so, of course, I had to do that!  The great thing about changing out buttons, is that you can do it again. No damage done. Even change it with the seasons. I personally am looking forward to spring.

Almost sold this cardigan a few times, and now I'm glad I kept it.

Do you know of any great places that sell buttons?

Cute as a Button Baby Tee

 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.
