You know you've had a fun day when all of a sudden you look around and it looks like this:
(It was such a fun day, it took me about 31/2 hours (my sewing skills are pretty rusty!!!) and the kids were so happy!!! They dumped out laundry baskets, they played with sewing scraps, measuring tape, thread, and mom didn't say no unless they went near the iron!!! Oh happy day in the life of kids -- and yup, that is Kenzie sound asleep on the floor:) )I was so busy turning this:
Into This:
That I didn't even notice :)
Not until my sweetie pie called...
There are 2 reasons you might find my dead body laying next to my sewing machine:
1 - My neat freak sweetie pie saw our room

2 - My neat freak sweetie pie saw that our filthy dirty (I like to call it carefree and happily played in) room in full color on the world wide web for all to see... :)
I'd like to thank my partners in crime ---
Credit also goes to my favorite sewing and craftiness blog for telling me what to do, I am addicted and have 6 more mens shirts of varying colors and fabrics I CAN'T WAIT to get my hands on... (Value Village first Monday 99 cent sale - WAHOOOOOO!!! 6 dresses for under 6 dollars!!!)
It's a hit, she loved it - although we'll have to see how I did when the washer gets a hold of it... shortly after this picture it somehow got covered in popsicle :)

Thank you for sharing! It turned out great! And how adorable is your daughter?? Seriously :)
You have found a dangerously addictive past-time. Trust me. And yet all the disaster that occurs is so worth it. Especially when you're not paying outrageous prices for a little girls dress!
You are incredible...way to go!!!
The dress turned out so cute. Good job!
Its so cute! Look at your lovely creation! Way to go. Definitely worth the mess!
And I love the pictures of Liv and Kensie down lower. Especially the doctor one. They both look so serious.
Bravo Natalie! SO CUTE...too bad I am not in need of one of those! I need a girl now. Kenzie is looking like a mini-Natalie.
You once said you had no acquired skills... you lied! That dress is fantastic! Do you think you could make one for me in my size?
You are so crafty. I love the top of the dress, you never would have guessed that it was made out of mens dress shirt. How clever, you don't have sew the buttons on!!
you are one talented lady!
love that dress!
