“HAPPY LATE FATHER’S DAY!”   🙂  Yeah, I’m a bit behind the ball… but I’m extra thankful for my Dad and for Tim.  I love you both!

I forgot to post the past couple of days because we have been so busy having summer fun!  I’ve decided that I really want to try and be more proactive at trying new things and doing crafts I’ve always said “I’ll do when I have more time…”  So, if you’re familiar with Pinterest, I’ve decided to try and to a Pin-A-Day.  Or thereabouts.  If I miss a day I’ll maybe try and do an extra pin the next day.  But this could be ANYTHING–just something that I saw somewhere on the internet and said, “Huh, that’s fun.  I want to try that.”

For example I tried this….

…. years ago and I still use it to this day.  It’s very handy.  I use it on the top of my mini chocolate chips that I put in the kids pancakes.  It works like a charm.  And I found that idea on Pinterest.

Oh, yeah!  And the Time Out / Glitter bottles!  I found that idea on there too!  Remember?

Anyway that’s what I’ve been up to.  You can follow along with my Pinterest things on the right-hand side link “100 Pinterest Attempts” and if something is very monumental, I’ll post about it here.  🙂  (Or if there is a certain item you want me to post on, just ask!)

Today I want to highlight two skirts that I made for Chloe over the weekend.  Keep in mind, I’ve never sewed a skirt for Chloe.  And I’ve never done a skirt with an elastic waistband attached directly to the skirt.  It was tricky business!  Well, it probably would have been easier if I had actually read the directions, or had directions.  Yeah, this crazy lady decided to just “make it on a whim!”  So, all that considered… I think it turned out well.  And Chloe thinks it’s the bomb, so that’s really all that matters.  😉

Skirt One. Made this from scratch.

Skirt Two. Sewed this together, but the fabric already had the elastic waist band attached… 🙂
