Going through the maternity stuff again and finding the things i would never wear again i came across the ugly overalls i had when i was pregnant. Well they were cute actually on a pregnant woman but not on me because i was HUGE!!! But now being smaller and have a slightly more flattering waist i thought these would make a cute apron.

I Had my second Child Recently and was left with the maternity clothes and the post partum Fat clothes in my basement. I have been slowly going through them to see what i can do and i made my wat to the one thing i have so many of yet so little of. Let me clarify, I have many nursing bras that are almost like new and not many standard bras that are in the same decent condition. I decided to revamp the nursing bras.

I have been blogging about revamping your clothes and using what you have on hand and save money instead of buying a whole new wardrobe.
This girl has taken the simple t-shirt revamp to a whole new level.
This is a must see for freestyle t shirt reconstructing with flair!

I ran into this little gem of an idea this morning and thought it would be fun to try ( i will post my attempt later)
But this is a wonderful way to do a small part of recycling and reusing of your junk mail or the newspaper ads we toss. I think this could be done by most people, not too hard and it would be a good one for the older children to do too. I think things like this should be embraced more because it is something you can do with little to no money unlike a lot of the other crafts that bring you to the point of buying out an entire craft store just to get started. Please people remember, use what you have on hand first. It will save you money. then when you are done with that then move on to other things. If you stick with what you have on hand it will force you to use your imagination and expand your mind and talents.
but enought with my rant!
Here is what you'll want to see from A little hut

Great work! I am so interested in reading more from this woman. she seems to have a great talent for sewing and also for instructing. She made it feel like I, too, could do it myself.
Maybe it is time I took on something like this before I settle and try to buy something new. I cannot see myself buying anything unless I need to.

My friend April just gave me a juicy lead on some cute window treatment solutions. She has issues with a specific window in her house due to size and how it is hard to fit curtains for, at least with store bought..
She pointed me to diyideas.com
There is a small section on window treatments which also include one that is cheap and easy !!!
who would have thought of this? i think this is great because it saves you 5-50$ in a unique style curtain rod
