I need clothing


Seriously! I know that everyone is SICK of seeing me in my same three outfits that I wear ALL THE TIME, and my "upper half" isn't going back into my pre-nursing tops anytime soon. So I must do something. I'm thinking of making a few things, including this top (which is a free pattern here), but I want to refashion a few things too. I don't have to tell you that I need this to be cheap too... I found this blog very interesting, and this one...and this shop rocks.

So how about you? Do you need some new duds? Or do you have any cool links that I need to see? Maybe we could all work on this together! xo,Sam

I made the lovely frock you have pictured and it is definitely one of my favorites. It is incredibly easy and you can change it up pretty easily too. I love seeing how people refashion atrocious items into cute pieces.

I'm getting ready to make a few maternity things since we've been blessed with the biggest miracle. So yes, new duds are needed here as well :) Isn't it funny how we are always on the lookout for kids clothing, and then one day realize we've been wearing literally the same thing over and over.

Happy Sewing, Darby :)

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
