ruffle my feathers

We love ruffles.

Both of us have been making ruffle pants for the girls for years.

They are simple and quick to make from scraps you have on hand.

The best part is, when your daughters favorite jeans get too short,

you can add on length with a cute ruffle.

Try it on leggings & cords too.

 I have also made worn leggings into biker shorts with a ruffle which look really cute with a matching tunic for summer. 

for now

Life has swallowed us up lately, and making anything has taken a back seat.

Here is my small attempt to change that.

I've had this tiny wreath forever with the intention of making

something for the little Miss.

I didn't want to commit to anything yet,

but I was also sick of looking at my naked wreath!

Auntie C brought over this pink belt and the rest I had laying around.

It is all just pinned on, so when true inspiration hits, we can start all over.

a bed for hazel

Dog beds are expensive, and the cute ones are really expensive!

I wanted one I could wash, and something simple.

I found a small quilted blanket at the thrift store.

I had a sheet (for the back) in my stash at home as well as some memory foam.

All it is is a big pillow sham. 

I cut the sheet to size,

allowing a little extra to finish the exposed edges

and cutting it longer to allow for an overlap in the middle to slide the memory foam into.

It was a fast project, and she loves it!

The kids love it too, the memory foam is really comfortable.

I think it would be really cozy for arthritic and older dogs as well.

(If you prefer a puffy look, just use fiber fill.)

rock on

I have been trying to figure out a storage solution for the biggests' bass for a while.

I couldn't buy one, but a stand was the best way to safely store it.

Because it is an 1/8th size,

I also wanted something that would accommodate a larger size when he moves up.

Well, let's just say the table has one less chair.

Couldn't have been easier.

I just unscrewed the seat.

Added two foam strips I found in the garage, and there it stands.

A one of a kind bass stand.

Maybe this summer big can paint it up to give it some personality:)
