T Shirt Ruffle

I had a couple of shirts and pieces that I don't really wear.  

I cut a strip off of the bottom of a skirt, ran a gathering stitch (Just a loose big stitch which on my machine is a 4 length) and leaving the beginning and end loose gathered up the piece.  

I cut my red t-shirt into a scoop neck.  

Then I stitched it on the shirt gathering as I went along.

Made for a nice change to a shirt I was never wearing. So many options.
(Please forgive the bad pics as these were taken on an old phone)

And I know, long time no post! In the meantime, I've worked a lot, sewed A LOT, had another baby!, and am enjoying raising the kids.  I have so many posts that I had been working on, but never completed.  I hope to get some of those finished, as well as some new ones.  Hope everyone is doing well!

Kid's corner Crayola Coloring Puzzle sheets

My daughter really likes puzzles, and sometimes needs a little something different.  On Crayola's website, they have a lot of coloring sheets and kids crafts ideas.  I came across the puzzle sheet.  They draw their own picture and make it their own puzzle.  Obviously you can cut your own designs but I thought it was a really cute idea.  They have several different ones.  I helped Claire with this one. 
You can find them here:

 Hope your having a great week! Happy cold first day of Spring!

Fast Lunch: Olive Oil and Garlic Couscous with Grilled Chicken

 I've always loved couscous, but now that Aldi carries it I buy it all the time.  All you have to do is boil water and then add the couscous and cover.  5 Minutes later, its ready!  I also grilled up some chicken and sliced it to round out the meal. 

 It's high in fiber, whole grain, definitely a plus. You can add so many things to this.  What would you add?  Please stop by and leave me a comment!
