cute DIY gift idea.

Hey all, check out this cute DIY idea I saw over at design*sponge - candles in vintage tins. This idea comes at a perfect time, since I have recently been admiring some pretty tins at the thrift store, but I didn't buy them because I didn't have a use for them - now I do! They even give you the instructions for how to make them. Enjoy! (ps these would also make a great gift idea...Christmas is coming!)

skirt!

I made a new one! It's a Cynthia Rowley pattern (very easy to follow, and good designs) made from a basic cotton print. And no elastic waist - I've moved into the land of zippers! And pockets too! I'd say this is my most proud project to date. My favourite part is the waistband and the tie front. Also, I got some new pinking shears for my birthday (thanks Beth!!), so there's no fraying on these seams :) Gotta go, or I'll be late for church in my new skirt!

no way.

I think I might have to try this today. Let you know how it goes.
