Hope the weekend is going awesomely well!  I chose my dress for the wedding (thanks for all the input!!) and it’s ready to go for tomorrow.  I’m going to leave it a surprise, but I think you’ll like!!

I got to spend a day upcycling t-shirts today with my friends at Crafted!

    I have made those but I used a machine. When I cut off the sleeves I turned them in to a pocket for coupons , for the out side and then 1 for the inside for check book or money… Very handy

    Have you heard of the book GENERATION TEE? It’s all about upcycling T-shirts. The crafts event reminded me of it. It’s what we had to live on before NDAD came along!
