Boutique Overalls.....

We have been having some really bad weather the past few weeks. Thunderstorms with High Winds and Tornadoes and such. Last night we were going to get hit again with bad Thunderstorms so i knew i would be staying up late with the weather man keeping an eye one what was going on. So i got a pair of plain denim overalls from Old Navy i snagged at a consignment sale for $5 bucks and some bright flower power fabric and some striped fabric and white ribbon and started working on a pair of "Boutique Overalls" for my little girl. I have been meaning to do this for a while now so this was the perfect opportunity to do it. It ended up being quit a bit of fun. And this is what i have done so far. I'm planning on adding a few more things later on....but so far soooo cute! I can't wait for her to wear them. I also made some Burpies for a friend of mine that has a little boy on the way too.

Lists.........

Are you a list person? I try to be. Lists can be so helpful but keeping up with a list is hard to do from day to day. One of my newyears resolutions was to stay on top of my "list" of things to do. Hasn't happened yet. Staying organized is hard to do with a little one wanting or needing your attention all day. So i moved my laptop to the dinning room table in hopes to keep current on my daily to do list. Still behind. I tend to get distracted on a craft project or just goofing off. One thing i would like to start doing is having a "Craft Monday". Just a day to forget household chores and make something fun with my little girl...or for her while she naps. We all love naps don't we?? I get alot of sewing done when she naps. Speaking of sewing...i have alot of projects lined up. I just have to find time to do them. I love to make dresses for her. And most recently i have decided to make her a quilt. Still thinking of what fabric to use. I was thinking of a few Amy Butler prints i like alot right now. So since it is friday i will have to get thinking of what craft project i would like to start monday. :) Till then.....have a great weekend!
