I just heard about the Fabric Bar blog earlier this week and then here is this adorable craft project that is so easy (an idea for girl scouts?) and yet useful and you could make one for any occasion or to match anything. You should look at all the adorable dresses on the site while you’re there too!

Skirt made for my daughter
I recently made this skirt for my daughter. As soon as I saw the fabric, I knew I wanted to make her a skirt. I hope it will keep her warm this fall. She needs a good shirt to go with it though.

Reuse
So I have this issue with not throwing away anything that can be reused! It’s so much fun to think of creative ways to repurpose things. The problem of course is that if you keep things (that other people call trash!) and then you don’t make the time to do anything with them, your house becomes filled with… well, trash. I have been collecting the cardboard sleeves that come on coffee cups for a while. My daughter, leave it to kids, has found all sorts of creative things to do with them, while I keep adding to the stash. Yesterday as I carried out 3 bags of stuff (destined for the trash can) from work, I really got to thinking about this and that I didn’t want to just bring this stuff into my house and have it sit. So, I came up with an idea. I’ve been wanting to do something more interesting with my blog anyway as I have a hard time with consistently updating it. I’ve decided that at least once a week, I will make something with the stuff I have collected and I will write a post about it. I’m looking forward to this, I think it will be lots of fun. (And maybe I’ll finally do something productive with all this stuff I’ve been collecting! 
)
