Ruffled Clutch



This little clutch has been my go to for a quick and easy present or just something to sew when time is short but I feel the "need" to sew something.

You can add pockets, dividers or leave it blank inside and they are still great.

I made them a couple years ago for my Moms for Mother's Day.  (here!)


I've filled them with essential baby medicine and given them as baby shower presents.

I've even given them with nothing in them and they are still just great.  If you haven't made one, you really should. :)

Go here for the tutorial.

Sequin Shirts!

Every year in July we have to have matchy outfits for all of the cousins for the 24th of July Celebrations.  Here's a flashback just for fun.  :)

(missing little Mylee)




I will say that it is gettin a lot harder to get a picture with all of the kids happy and looking in the right direction.  Cute kids though!

I got the idea from Brassy Apple.  Go here for a tutorial.

It was simple and easy.  Andy found the little jean skirts at a thrift store for SUPER cheap and they are so cute.

Here's an up close look at the design we did but you really could do just about any kind of design.


Just cause she looks so cute.  :)

Look at my girls...yep you're right...they really look nothing like me.  They do look just like my husband.  :)  Sure do love my girls though and feel so blessed to have them.


Oh, and we also tied material around flip flops for the big girls.  They looked super cute and got super dirty in all the dirt.  :)
