DIY – Page 7

Here is the newest item created for my soon-to-arrive twin grandnephews.

I was inspired by the diaper clutch tutorial over at A Lemon Squeezy Home. If you haven’t stopped by Christie’s blog, do it (but after you read this post, pin your favorite photos, and share it with all of your friends!) 😉

I added the matching neck tie applique pattern I used for my Neck Tie Burp Cloths but I changed the look up a little by using a football print in coordinating colors.

I used the same football fabric as the lining and added a hook and loop closure. (Forgive the purple pull-up diaper. With a 9 and 12-year-old at home, this was the only diaper I could dig up from the back of the bathroom cabinet—it was either this or an adult diaper–don’t ask me why I have one!)

There is easily enough room for another diaper and a portable wipes case. Perfect for tossing into your handbag for a quick trip to the grocery store! I bet it could hold a folding changing pad, as well…hmmmm…I think I found my next project!!

This was so easy, thanks to Christie’s tutorial!

I will be adding more of my handmade items for the twins soon. In the meantime, if you like what you see, “like” my my Facebook page!

Yesterday was a big day in our household! My son got his braces! I can’t tell you how long we he has been waiting for this day.

Because it was such a special occasion, I wanted to get out of my uniform (jeans and a tee shirt) and sport a cute skirt I made a couple of weeks ago.

I loved this fabric from the moment I laid eyes on it. Its combination of aqua, tangerine, khaki and brown is my summer palette.

I decided on a skirt with pockets, because EVERY dress and skirt should have pockets. I’m pretty proud at how great they came out, considering this was my very first attempt.

I paired the skirt with my favorite aqua sandals and a long version of my turquoise and coral necklace. Love…

My second favorite thing about this skirt (pockets being the first!) is the length.

BTW, the total cost of this simple skirt was about $6 and it took me about an hour! You can’t beat that, right?! Is anyone else on a DIY wardrobe kick? I know my friend Autumn is!

Well, I can’t end this post without sharing a photo of my big guy showing off his new metal mouth! Love it!
