Father's Day Card

Say Happy Father's Day with the iDad card.

 I don't know about you, but I am always looking for 

fun, new DIY ideas to greet the men in my life.

Is it just me or are guys harder to find stuff for? 

Any hoo I found this cute idea for an iDad card for Father's Day.

I don't know about your yours but my dad loves, loves,

loves his iPad...like who doesn't right?

So, if your a procrastinator like me and have not started on dads

gift, here is a good place to start...Father's Day is today

you know.

Ruffle Toddler Shorts

I decided to use the same idea and tutorial from my Simple Toddler Shorts

to make these Ruffle Toddler Shorts. I used up cycled fabric from 

a pair of cargo pants and scrap fabric used for the ruffles, some buy Muslim

I use up cycled fabric to make a practice pair or to get my sewing skills where 

I think they should be before giving a project as a gift. 

It works great and 

heck I bet if you look around your house too you will find lots of things to up cycle. 

Up cycling not only works with fabric, there are lots of things in your house

with a little creativity that can be up-cycled into something beautiful or fun. Give it a try

you not only re purpose something you are not using anymore but you are recycling 

as well. 

Now I just hope they fit! (8

ENJOY!

Sew! Sew! Sew!

                       Sew, I bet you thought I forgot about my blog...not a chance! I love my blog
                       as much as I love sewing and crafting and sometimes it's really hard to keep

 up with it...so a shout out to all of you who have amazing blogs...because I

 know you work hard for it! I thought I would share some vacation photo's today...
just of the amazing view we had from our Beach House rental in Malibu, CA. 

We had three decks where you would find us most of the time...

                                                           The locals call it the BU

We and the neighbors had a private little beach...at

low tide it was even better.

I love using my DSLR when the charger decides  

to charge the batteries for me (8 ...I even took an 

action shot here cool!...ps. woot woot

my new charger came in the mail today!

They say this coastline area is the best in the area...this is part 

of what they call the "Queens Necklace"...I wasn't able to 

get a full picture of it...but we are going back for another 

week and now that I have a new charger...I will be on 

a mission and hopefully bring something worthy of posting

as I am merely a beginner behind my lens. :)

woo-hoo! Look at the action shot! (8

The house was right on the water at high tide see!

It was a little chilly there but overall great 

weather and while I was out there I spotted

something...

S-H-A-R-K!!

Oh silly me it's just a pod of dolphins playing 

in the surf, right outside the house! 

G! Quick it's A-POD-OF-DOLPHINS RIGHT

OUTSIDE THE HOUSE!

GET THE CAMERA!

WAIT! The charger is not working! 

GRAB YOUR CELL PHONE! Thank you god for cell phones.

They actually were much closer than they appear...
