DIY: Cute Idea (From a Really Talented Blogger!!!)

I love to come up with unique and new ideas, but I also have no shame in learning to do things or make things with the guidance of others. I stumbled upon Sew Much Ado. Now she has a lot of cute tutorials (I may even have to share some of the others!) but I fell in love with this little number. 

You see, this simple t-shirt:

 

Did you ever think that this plain boring t-shirt could into something as cute as this???

 

 Now as tempted as I have been to dress up Collin in girls clothes I may have done that once or twice I do have some really cute nieces (aged 3, 18 months, almost 3 months, and about to be born) and I think they would be just darling. And with those little leggings they would some really styling little girls. These are the little moments that I miss Lilly, miss the experiences I would be having with her right now. Don't get me wrong, I love Collin and I am so grateful that he is part of our family. But having him will never replace Lilly or Ryker, nor will any child. But children seem to help fill your heart, but there are always the little cracks that give you those hard days. Anyways, back to the cute skirt. I wish I could pull something like that, and maybe if I were a young buck (talkin' no older than 18 people!) I would see if I could pull the look off. I think I will have to venture out to the local thrift store and buying some second hand t-shirts (after being washed on hot, of course!) I have been oogling some of these really cute pillow cases so I may just have to try and make some of my own pillows( $45 bucks is a little steep for me!) I found these at Land of Nod, which just happens to be similar to Pottery Barn, and although still not cheap, at least somewhat affordable!

Talking about the sham in the middle although the whole set is really cute!

 I think I will have to buy some simple solid colored material, make some basic pillowcases, and add the jersey ruffle (jersey does not shred down like most other fabrics) to make my own cute pillows. I am looking to make the switch someday to either a cream or white slip-covered couch so I will have to get some vibrant colored pillows to brighten and add color to the room. I guess I will have another little tutorial soon!!!

*I have been doing some smaller DIY programs, such as repainting a lamp, trying my hand at redoing a lampshade which still needs some tweeking, cleaning up and giving a little paint to my beloved printers box, and some smaller other projects!!!
