Projects...

Taylor has become quite the drooler already. All the bibs I have are gross and stained so I decided to make some stylish ones just for her to wear just for the drool. After looking at a few websites I traced my own pattern from 2 different bibs I already had, using the top from one and the bottom from another. Choose some fabric I already had and then bought some Terry Cloth at the fabric store for the back and here you have it. They turned out super cute.

The flowered one I made for Taylor then I decided I had to make one for my friend who is having a boy next week and I havent sent her gifts yet so I decided to make the red polka dot one for her. I will be making lots more bibs for Taylor because they are so easy to make.

These shoes are also for my friend who is having a boy next week. I created my own pattern for these from a previous one I had (see here). After a few trial and error I nailed it.



I had a pile of clothes I was gonna give to D.I. (like Goodwill) and I had been surfing the web on craft blogs and ran across this great tutorial on taking one of my shirts and making it into a skirt for Lexi. It was so easy to do and they turned out great.

Of course I forgot to take pictures of the before shirts so I just grabbed some pics off ae.com and downeastbasics.com.

Total cost for these projects: FREE. I already had some thread and elastic.

So this:

Became this:

and this (similar shirt from AE was used):

became this beauty of a skirt (Im in love with this one):


I have also been making more flowers and headbands. I bought another pattern off of Etsy from Snazzie Drawers. That turned into these cute flowers.


Enjoy!! Im sure I will have many more projects to come.

Twilight Concert Series in SLC

Every Thursday in the summer SLC puts on a Concert series in the park where tens of thousands of people come. The best part about them is they are all FREE! Scott really wanted to go see the band that was playing so we headed up. There was sooo many people there and all Lexi wanted to do was run around but Taylor was perfect and just slept the entire time. We just hung back a little and listened to the music. It was a fun night being outside and just hanging as a family. We will definitely go again.
