1st Day of school teacher present

I wanted to make my daughter's new teacher a 1st day of school present. I found some super cute fabric at Joann's and made her this lovely purse! She LOVED it!

Check out my other post where I made my daughter a dress and flower bow with the left over fabric!

Fall Wreath

Wanted to show everyone my new Fall wreath I finally got hung up. I know it's not technically Fall YET but it's back to school and well my 4th of July wreath had to be retired. I love Fall and can't wait to get started pulling out all my decor! Hope to see lot's of other crafters showing their new season wreaths!

I used a styrofoam wreath, wrapped it in yarn (I hate doing that part) then I added a little piece of burlap for fun and made three large size flowers. Two from felt and the middle one from a very cute fabric I got at Joann's that had the same fall colors as I used through out and cute little mushrooms all over it.

XOXO,

Up cycled Tank Top dress

So here is my up cycled tank top dress for my daughter! I had a white tank top that was too short. I don't even know if she ever wore it. So I tried it on her and it still fit over her head (LOL) and I had some super cute fabric left over that I used for her teacher's gift (posting next) so I made my lil Miss a 1st day of school dress and a flower bow to match! 

Here she is modeling the dress yesterday, literally I did this while my step son and husband were napping. Super easy ;-). Her bow I made while cooking dinner HA! 

And here she is ready for school! WHOOP WHOOP to cool! LOL

OK mom let's get this show on the road. If you would like a custom dress made for your Lil Miss just message me or go to my Etsy shop.

See that pretty wreath back there? I'll post that too, my new fall wreath!

XOXO,
Jess

Up Cycled Pencil Box!

So my daughter is one of those who takes good care of all of her belongings. So when she took her pencil box home at the end of last year in perfect shape I of course kept it. When is was time to buy school supplies for this school year I didn't want to buy another pencil box for no reason. PLUS there are no "cool" plastic pencil boxes in the stores, they all look the same. Being the us we are we wanted something UNIQUE. So instead I said to her let's DUCK TAPE IT! Yes we decorated it and gave her last years school box a new face with duck tape! We went to the store and I let her pick what duck tape she wanted. These days sprinted duck tape is everywhere! Walmart, Target, Dollar Store, hardware stores, probably even gas stations LOL.
She picked pink with zebra print and I went to town on her pencil box. Pretty cool if I say so myself! AND no one else in her whole school will have a pencil box like hers!

This is her with her cool pencil box on the 1st day of school :-)

XOXO,
Jess

Re vamped Bird Bath

Well my husband had this bird bath in his bushes way before I came along. Since his bachelor years ;-) LOL. I decided to bring it out to the light and give it a new coat of paint. Now it had a few holes on top from the rust. I went to the store and asked if this spray paint that was for rust would seal the holes....he told me yes....but I'm gonna say no LOL. It didn't seal the holes. After it's dry I might try another way of sealing the holes so the birdies can utilize their bird bath.
