T-Shirt Pants



Not only do I think that Lil Blue Boo is a genius designer and seamstress, I ADORE her patterns. Yep, I own and use them all. They are by far my favorites of today. Here is a great way that she has used T-shirts to make little gaucho pants for little legs. My two year old little Toadie goes through pants like nobody's business and these have been a lifesaver for us! They are fantastic.

Messenger Bag


I have an super creative friend that makes beautiful things out of nothing. She has a great messenger bag that she has made out of an old pair of jeans. I love it and secretly want to snatch it from her every time that she visits my house. When I saw this tutorial from Noodlehead, I couldn't help but race on up to my closet to find an old pair of cargos to rip apart and make my own messenger bag.

Car Mat


Being the mom of a cute Bear and a darling Toad, I find matchbox cars all over the house all of the time. We have bought little city mats for them to use with their cars but, I secretly love this one from Kleios Belly the best. What a great idea for a present. Put pictures of all of the family members in the different houses and they can spend all day long visiting grandma!

Denim Corsage Tutorial

Who doesn't have a stack of old jeans that just don't fit right but you don't want to just throw out perfectly good denim. Well, use this great tutorial from Tea Rose Home to give those jeans a new life. I have used it to make a corsage and a belt buckle (yep.... still on my belt kick)
