~skirt into dress~

 Remember this thing I showed you a couple days ago?

Not the most attractive like this but I had a vision for it

the moment I saw it.

 I've been seeing a lot of neon colors

this season and wanted to add some of it into my 

wardrobe without spending a lot of money. 

I feel pretty confident in saying that I think neon

will be a micro-trend; lasting only this summer.

Taking that into account, the asking price of $5

at my local thrift store made it a PERFECT option

for spicing up my wardrobe. 

It's definitely a vintage piece....I'm pretty sure

straight from the 70's. 

Check out the final reformation! 

I LOVE it!

It's one of my favorite summer pieces

at this point. I think it's going to see a lot wear 

this summer. I was hoping to have the tutorial

done by now but it's not. I'm shooting for later today.

It was super easy and I did it in less than an hour!

Seriously......a beginner can do this!

~semi-homemade girls outfit~

The little neighbor girl had a birthday

yesterday and this is what I made for her:

I call it semi-homemade because I bought the

shirt and just embellished it to match the skirt.

The circle skirt is soooo easy.

I found the tutorial for it at MADE.

I have made these for all my nieces. 

I think they are so feminine and cute.

I can't wait for my little lady to be big enough

to wear skirts like this.

I made the leg-warmers with socks I 

bought at the dollar store.

These are so easy to make. 

I'll put a tutorial up here soon for that....

you can do them in 5 minutes flat.

This semi-homemade stuff is my kind of style

I've decided. It's quick and easy. It's inexpensive

and it's just what a tired momma like myself 

needs right now. I think you may be seeing more

of this semi-homemade stuff from me in the future.
