Snipped, Ripped, Sewed and Cinched

My B.F.F inspired me to open my crafting closet and get to work making hair clips for our little girls this week. The simple request thrust me into crafting overload. I have refrained from crafting lately in an effort to keep the house clean for showings. I made up for lost time. Before I could clean up one mess I was making another...felt, fabric, pins, needles, glue, tape and scissors. I made a mess and it was fun!

I did manage to crank out a few critter clips for LoLo. I stopped when I realized we would soon have more clips than she has curls.

I also refashioned several ill-fitting dresses in my own closet. I snipped, ripped, sewed and cinched until I made two new summer skirts and a pretty cute belted top. In have no real sewing skills, so the frustration level was high, but I think it will pay off when I can pull these cute duds out of my closet this summer.

 This is the bottom half of a dress that just didn't hang right anymore. I loved the fabric and couldn't bear to part with it, so I refashioned it into this cute skirt.

 Long maxi dress I bought online that I chopped in half to make a shirt and skirt.

Can't wait to wear it!

My favorite project of the week was hands down, Lo and Ms. Kitty's Super Capes. A few scraps of fabric and some less than stellar sewing skills resulted in these adorable little capes for the dynamic duo. Lo added the Elmo shirt and winter hat to the ensemble all on her own. I must say, the world feels a little safer now.

Contemplating their next mission.

Faster than a speeding bullet!

What would we do without Ms. Kitty?

Super smiley :)

 Have a super weekend and enjoy this beautiful weather with your loved ones.

It Smells Good in Here (for a change)

From dirty diapers to play clothes, the addition of a little one has wreaked havoc on the smell of our home. Thanks to a good friend who introduced me to Scentsy, things are really starting to smell better around our house. This wick-less/flame-less candle is safe for children and pets, so no worries if little Lo gets a hold of it when MaMa is out of the room.
