DIY

Whenever Talin and I see something cute, his first response is always "we could do that" sometimes I giggle at his tenacity and other times he's totally right! =) Lately I've been looking at a lot of "do it yourself" websites and found AWESOME instructions for making baby leg warmers. I started with a pack of socks
(like these..$5.99 at Target) Chopped off the heel, and toe, created a cuff out of the foot and VIOLA...3 baby leg warmers for $2 a piece. I just saved $36 bucks! Granted, they don't have the cute "baby legs" logo or that super professional look. But for $2 a piece??? I'll take it!


He has a pair of solid blue ones too...but he was DONE playing dress up!

My mom was a total domestic goddess when we were growing up! She made our play clothes, our church dresses,our Halloween costumes, even our toys! I loved being measured for the new creations she was working on, and got so excited to see lengths of fabric turning into a new dress or a Cleopatra costume. The sound of crisp fabric shears crunching through bolts of cotton print laid out on the kitchen counter is a memory I will always cherish. My goal is to one day figure out the sewing machine (ohhhh man I don't even want to say how many times I've tried) so that I can bring that homemade goodness to my children too. =)

I'm adding a new sidebar to the blog called "inspiration" I'll add links to websites and blogs that have DIY ideas to try. Let the creating begin!
