Girls Hair Ties

My niece gave me these feathers and beads thinking of Marlee girl and suggested I make her hair ties for her pow wow outfit... I figured why not.. Here are the results.
Not bad if I do say so myself.

recycled jeans into baby dress

There I was with an itching to sew and not knowing what to sew soo I stared at thee ole jeans and decided a baby dress!

First I just cut the pant leg off across (closest to the crotch) and then to the knee

Then cut the top part with the back a little longer... to be able to go over the shoulers

Then did a hem around the top and bottom of jean

Sewed on a strip of that fannel i still have, added buttons

volia! instant baby dress made from recycling jeans

hat making

Okay soo I got the sewing bug right now :)
And I made this reversible hat using recycled jeans and some fleece I got at VV Boutique (3 yards at least for 3.99!!) inspected and washed, so I bought it what a steal.

The pattern was from a blogger Petchy.
Now because the pattern was sized for a toddler. I did a 5/8 seam allowance but that made it too small for any room to grow for winter.
So then made it again with a 3/8 seam allowance and it looks a little big but it's perfect for room to grow this winter. It looks thick/puffy but it's not. I could do a straight stitch around the edge but don't think my needle would make it through 4 layers of jean in the corner seams!!



Now to make a matching bib OoooOoo and a dress hmmm ideas ideas and soo little time

The joys of potty training

My little man is starting to potty train himself. Now this is funny, why? you ask. You see he's 2 years old and will yell out "POOP" where ever he is, when he has to go. So lets set the situation shall we?

In Value Village picking out books (great deal .99 cents for kids books and buy 4 get 1 free) and my little guy starts kicking his feet yelling at the top of his lungs "POOP" "POOP" "POOP"

I nearly dropped all the book I was holding it was sooo funny. I looked around and there was this little ole lady about to soil her depends!

I look around to find an employee to ask to use the bathroom. She says, get this, "Nope we can't let you use them they are too dirty" huh? soo you let your employees use them?

Luckily he had a pull up on. AND never went "POOP" in his pants!

And So It Begins

I've desided to blog. But what about you ask? Well, just like the title "Moasic World" it's going to be a spicey, sentual, love it, hate it and work it out walk through my life.
Why Moasic? it's because I dable in soo many different things that I couldn't leave anything out. That just wouldn't be the full me experience.

I've got to run around and check on the kids right now be back later to start blogging *giggle* I'm soo excited.

~wondering if there are other people just as moasic as me?~
