Super Easy Christmas Tree picking shirts

I just took a red shirt and I cut a green triangle out of some green scraps I had and used a small piece of brown ribbon for the trunk! Then I used a little fabric glue to hold it in place and zig zaged around the entire tree!

T-shirt Shorts

Check out these awesome shorts I made from two shirts I had in the closet! I don't know exactly how I ended up with two of the same shirt in the same size but anyway they had some stains so I decided to make them into shorts for my boy. And I love Adidas because it stands for All Day I Dream About Susana! I'm a dork I know.
I started by cutting off the sleeves and hood.


I made my own pattern by using an old pair of his shorts. I forgot to take a picture of this but I used the sleeves to add length to the shorts.

So now they are super cool shorts!


Awesome right!? Now go look in the closet for some shirts and make them into something new!

Summer Bucket List

Here goes some summer fun stuff we have been doing.....
I always make a summer list but this year I found these awesome printables on this site http://tatertotsandjello.blogspot.com/2011/05/summertime-activities-bucket-list-free.html

So I printed them out and Mod podged them to a super cute dollar store bucket! 

We made some colored rock salt with koolaid so it smells good!



And we added all the colored rocks to our pink diy sand table ( an old rabbit cage we had sitting in the garage)


We made home made playdough, check out the ooey gooey lady website for some awesome recipies.

The neighbors  had fun too!
I am linking up at skip to my lou and motivate me monday....

Easy Birthday Class Treat


This was one of the easiest birthday treats I ever sent in to my kiddos class! All I did was cut icecream sandwiches in half and dip the sides in sprinkles, put in a candle and done! FYI lay them on a tray lined with wax paper then you can add one more layer of wax paper on top of the first layer of treats and pile on a new layer.

Sooo I'm not so good at this blogging business I guess.



Well I have been sewing, I made a few pillow cases and a few laundry bags. Some Pj's for the boys and me. I am going to try to post pictures soon. I have been side tracked by my new found love of mod podge!!! I have made quite a few wall hangings and things, I will post those too!


But I did make this super cute Leprechaun Jacket, I followed a  pattern and everything! 

It even had a lining! Oh Yeah.

I made it for my beautiful niece who was representing the country of Ireland on her high school freshman float!

And here is the jacket in progress that I sewed 2014 on. So Cute!
















I Participated in the green bag sewing Challenge for my christmas wrapping!

I feel good about it :)

And I made my boy and Happy 8 Birthday Shirt!
