Wish I could sew!!

I bought a couple of pillowcase dresses off Etsy. I really like the thought of upcycling vintage pillowcases. Plus you can wash the heck outta them and bleach them and they still hold up great. I have to say I do not like the grosgrain ribbon ties kind. But I found a few sellers who make fabric ties. This is my fave!  

You can find tutorials here, and pdf patterns and directions there and blog posts. But I like the ones that are more pleated than gathered and with fabric ties instead of ribbons.

I also thought for sure my little kidlet would gnaw on or fiddle with or untie the ties so I am tying them more on the back of her shoulder blades instead of on the tops of the shoulders.

Cricut cutting, Chick Fil A and Etsy

 

I just love these two little svg's. I don't recall where I found them (if you know drop me a line so I can give proper credit). But they are so durn cute. Lemme work on putting the svg files somewhere for ya.

 
 

I am a total Chick Fil A junkie. I am on a first name basis with half the folks at my usual CFA (hi Lance! Hi Chaz!!) and this week is free breakfasts all week!! So this morning I went to all 3 CFA's close by. I got 2 buiscuit sandwiches for free plus bought 1 at each one. Kidlet#3 & I ate 2 (she only eats the chicken and I have to bite it off into bite size pieces for her), I gave 2 to 2 homeless folks (1 was an amputee in a wheelchair and –at a red light- I got out and crossed 2 lanes of stopped traffic to get to him. He gave me a hug – awww!), I gave 3 to the teachers and the boys had 2 as afterschool snacks. Tomorrow is chicken minis!!
 

And in my ongoing search of making a buck so I can stay home with the kiddos, I have opened an Etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5923508) . Called 5Limes there is only a couple things there now but I plan on cutting some titles on the cricut and listing those as well as some of my vintage finds.
