Aren't they just soooooo stinkin ca-ute??

Maybe I'll make for myself since Mr. Perfect does all the cooking ;)

I can pretend I'm a great chef...then just eat his food

Ok, maybe not, but I still want one!

Work Shirt Refashion

So I have a closet full of "work" shirts that I'm "supposed" to wear

Do I wear them??

Uh, no.

I hate them.

They are all boxy and don't fit me at all

My boss orders more of them every year and I just hang them up and wear something else

Sometimes I feel guilty for doing this.

Everyone else wears theirs

But I just don't

And when I do, someone always asks "why are you wearing that shirt??"

I think they've come to expect me not to wear uniforms

Well the time of year has come when my boss once again asked for shirt sizes

As always I say WOMEN'S SMALL!!!

Haven't gotten this round of shirts yet so we'll see what they're like this year

However, he seems like he's going to be a stickler on this shirt thing this year...at least for now

Hope he doesn't mind that I refashioned my old shirts!!

Here's what I started with...

BLEH!!

HIDEOUS!!!

See why I despise these shirts {I hope he never stumbles across my blog}

See the terrified look on my face??

See the longer hem in the back?

One thing you can barely see is my boobie bumps! Sheesh!

SEWING MACHINE TO THE RESCUE

BOOYAH!

Now THIS I can handle

I have another shirt like this in black that I will FOR SURE be doing the same thing to

Hate your clothes too??

Change them!

Pinterest Picks {Week 3}

Welcome to Week 3!

So if you haven't red my bio before {you should ;) just sayin} then you don't know that I am a photographer by day 

I work for Lifetouch

I take school photos, and seniors, and sports, and dances...

blah blah blah...you get the picture {no pun intended tehe}

So this week I'm sharing with you some pins from my Amazing Photos board.

Chair Covers

My brother-in-law teaches seminary in the mornings at his house

He asked me to make these chair covers with the kids names on them

He wanted me to make 14 of them!!!

14!!!!

Holy smokes!!

This happens to be a super busy month for me each year and I was a little worried about this project

BUT, he's family and he's done a lot for us in the past

So this is kindof what he wanted

I've been thinking on how to best accomplish 14 of these

Then on Sunday while I was brushing my teeth, I thought, painters drop cloth!!

So here's how it went down...

{I'd like to apologize for the crappy photos now...I don't have much time to write this and I figured just doing the post was more important than stellar photos...hope you agree}

 Lay out drop cloth...draw lines for cutting...cut...I laid the 2nd one on top and cut them both together

 I had 4 long strips like this...I took each one and hemmed the cut edges...some had pre-finished hems from the edges of the drop cloth...then I just stacked them and cut my sections

 Fold in half, right sides together and sew up the sides...add a snap in the center...and voila!

 Use super spiffy neon fabric markers to write the kids names {I'm missing 2 still}

Stick on chair and snap! Oh snap!

This isn't the chair he's using, this is mine, but I thought I'd test it out.

I'm sure they'll look way better on his chairs, not so tight on the sides, but whatever.

Now the kids know where they're sitting every day.

Mission accomplished!!

Friendship Bracelets!!

Remember a couple weeks ago I told you about signing up for the Friendship Bracelet Swap??

Well I made by bracelets and shipped them off the end of last week!

And I'm here to show you the loveliness 

Don't they remind you of high school??

I secretly want to go back...sometimes...sshh...don't tell

I was grouped up with 3 other girls

So far I've received 2 of their bracelets

When I get the other one I will do a post to show them off too!

Much Love~

Pinterest Picks {Week 2}

I'm back friends!!

{Doing the happy dance}

This week has been EXHAUSTING!!!

Worked 58 hours and didn't get as much sleep as I would have liked

BUT, I'm refreshed and ready for a productive weekend!

So here's my Pinterest Picks for the week...a day late...

WREATHS!!

I see so many drop-dead-gorgeous wreaths in blog land

I REALLLLLLLY want to have on my front door

There are 2 problems here...

1. My door faces south, with no shade, so any wreath with glue, melts and falls apart in the sun.

2. Mr. Perfect thinks wreaths are tacky (he's obviously delusional)

So I'm stuck admiring everyone else's wreaths and being super jealous

Maybe someday I can have a wreath...maybe
