Flokati Rugs get a Makeover

When I was a child I lived on the island of Crete. And my parents bought HUGE Real Flokati rugs for our home. Now almost 40 years later I am giving them a new life in the studio. They are cut onto a throw rug size and mini for baskets and such. I choose Grey, Keeping one set natural, green and brown. I can't wait to try them out! Far superior to that fake one I bought at walmart. That after one washing was ruined.

Shirt Remake/Sunday Snapshot

I went Rummage Saling on Saturday and was able to get a bag of goodies for me for $2.00 total.
One Cato Peasant Blouse was just too large. (Let's sing yippee for me!) So this morning it was transformed into a spring dress for Prairie Princess. It's been to long since I have sewn. It felt good!!!
Total cost $.15.  Time 30 minutes.

Come here for more Sunday Snapshots. I have wanted to join this for weeks and finally found something to do.

My First Paying Photo Session

She is paying me a casserole/Meal. I get more practice and a night off of cooking. Works for me!
This was her favorite one.

I should have gotten her knees in it more.
Attempt at black and white. She didn't really want it b and w so I didn't go into Andrea's tutorial and try to do it right.

Sense and Sensibility Patterns

I have always admired the patterns that are from Sense and Sensibility Patterns. The Regency dress is flattering on all body types. I have just never taken the time to order it. Well now they have it available from Simplicity patterns. 
And it just so happens that Hobby Lobby has their Simplicity Patterns on sale for $1.99 this week. (they do this many times a year.)  So what would have been $16.95 we got for $1.99.

If you decide to make this dress Sense and Sensibility also have a photo tutorial available on their site.
And there is even instructions how to modify it for nursing!!!! 
Or this one.                     And one more nursing idea

New Jean Skirt

I made this from 2 pair of jeans using this pattern, I googled online.  WhipUp.net
Thanks Ohio Sarah  for making your daughters some. I had forgotten about this.
I haven't decided if I will shorten it. I thought I'de wear it long for awhile and see what I think.
