My son (4-years old)'s waist still doesn't fit into 3T pants but length wise he's now in 4Ts. They don't make belts for boys either...not ones that are easy to get in and out of anyway without complicating potty going situation! I am SO glad I made some of these today:<br />
<br />

I made 4 in like 30 minutes! The gray & brown one are spoken for for my son...I can't wait for him to get home to try them on...and the red & white one are for a girlfriend of mine's little girl!<br />
<br />
If you want one of your own...I almost feel bad charging because they're so easy, cheap, and simple! But you can call one (or more) yours for just $5 each! (see bottom)<br />

I cannot take credit for this idea, however, I forgot where I found it so I can't give credit where credit is due. ANYWAY...meet the Switch Witch!<br />

I didn't know if Jerimiah would like this idea so I told him about the Switch Witch and how she comes and takes your candy and leaves you a toy and he was SUPER EXCITED! I let him graze through his candy all Saturday and then the night before Switch Witch comes he got to pick out just a few of his favorites to save out and then we left his candy out for the Switch Witch. She left him a note along with a Spiderman Puzzle and a Spiderman Nightlight!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He LOVED IT! He was SO super excited and because he had picked out just a few of his favorite candies he didn't even miss the rest!<br />
<br />
Now the big question...what is the Switch Witch going to do with all this candy! HAHA, at least it saves Jerimiah from WEEKS of sugar over load!<br />
<br />
P.S. Jerimiah's already made requests for what he would like the Switch Witch to bring this year!!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854629628495624763.post-14189145633098880582011-10-28T07:25:00.000-06:002011-10-28T07:25:18.616-06:00Adding Eggs(June 2010)<br />
I wanted to post a craft for you too I did while Jerimiah was gone that he absolutely LOVES! I found it on one of my Crafty Mommy Blogs...but I can't remember which one to give credit to, SORRY! I call them "Adding Eggs"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XKOHjaH_IbQ/Te7ZEStvRMI/AAAAAAAATjQ/sgds_rVShmc/s1600/Adding+Eggs+1_060711.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XKOHjaH_IbQ/Te7ZEStvRMI/AAAAAAAATjQ/sgds_rVShmc/s320/Adding+Eggs+1_060711.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I used just a half egg carton and saved 6 plastic Easter eggs.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MOh14KuKQbQ/Te7ZGJZ1adI/AAAAAAAATjY/y9pQBTYCrus/s1600/Adding+Eggs+2_060711.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MOh14KuKQbQ/Te7ZGJZ1adI/AAAAAAAATjY/y9pQBTYCrus/s320/Adding+Eggs+2_060711.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>On the outside of all the eggs I wrote a simple equation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uc9eRk7mDRk/Te7ZHjbzUUI/AAAAAAAATjg/gdjbzccvM14/s1600/Adding+Eggs+3_060711.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uc9eRk7mDRk/Te7ZHjbzUUI/AAAAAAAATjg/gdjbzccvM14/s320/Adding+Eggs+3_060711.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>On the inside I wrote the answer and also included decorative marbles to help Jerimiah figure out the answer.<br />
<br />
<b>HINDSIGHT NOTE:</b> I thought it might be helpful to write the answer on the inside. <i><b>If I did it again</b></i> I would <b>NOT</b> do that. You can see the answer through the egg on the outside...and because Jerimiah knows his numbers he doesn't have to count the marbles most of the time to come up with the answer.<br />
<br />
He really loves those adding eggs though...great simple idea (wish I could give credit where credit was due though, sorry...can't remember where I originally found the idea).Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854629628495624763.post-40485090389817689012011-03-31T20:11:00.000-06:002011-03-31T20:11:31.479-06:00New Skirt<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O_LgitW3rqI/TZUieTmz7XI/AAAAAAAASK4/mC8Z6vPYrZY/s1600/033111-Skirt.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O_LgitW3rqI/TZUieTmz7XI/AAAAAAAASK4/mC8Z6vPYrZY/s320/033111-Skirt.JPG" width="147" /></a></div>Don't mind ME in this picture, this picture was taken at 4:45AM! This new skirt I just whipped up. I've been envisioning and planning on making it for quite some time and I finally just did it! It didn't take long. I cut it out Tuesday night and last night I sewed it all together. I used some of my loose gaucho pants as my "template" and just sewed. The waist band is elastic which could probably be tighter than it currently is but I don't want it too tight because I want it to be comfortable.<br />
<br />
I wore it to work today and it was SUPER comfy! It's a good length too...maybe could even go a little shorter. Overall though, I'm quite happy with it. I used some fabric I bought at Wal*Mart a while back on their "$5 Bolt Sale." I have the same fabric in a baby blue...I might have to make a sister skirt!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854629628495624763.post-52219568670769426342011-02-28T07:07:00.002-07:002011-02-28T07:09:24.406-07:00ACU Baby Gift SetI had a dear friend of mine send me fabric and some of her husband's ACU military uniforms to transform into a diaper baby for her upcoming baby girl.

<br />
Now that Julie has finally received her gift I can blog about it!<br />

The supports in the side helping it stand up didn't end up staying, that's a project I need to work on for later is figuring that out. It still needed to be "dolled up" a little. The two front pockets were camouflaged into the rest of the bag...you didn't even know there were pockets there did you?<br />

There was a pocket on the outside but I removed that the night before I mailed it...would be nice to have a pocket for diaper cream, etc, but the placement would be right in the baby's back....need to think that one through a little more.<br />

I was really happy with how it turned out. These go online for hundreds of dollars. This one was made with love for a GREAT friend! It's got 2 side pockets for bottles, 2 front pockets (with Velcro for "Army Wife" and "Lastname" name tags to stick), 1 inside pocket, and 1 literally hidden pocket on the very back side.<br />
<br />
LOVED making it! If you're interested in someone this elaborate you'll need to see how much I love you first :-)<br />
<br />
HAPPY few months before baby-time Julie!<br />

P.S. I am going to be making burp cloths to finish the set...just haven't gotten that far yet and was impatient for Julie to see the bag!

So, here it is!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLGmcGkIfXh_HRcDAbDaUHbQIXyUlumyQOWnKfYVbl-ekzNlu0lbNq63sscCA6OlVCxRbr_t07jJpmGbHFIrJvtwUymr-2_i9Ypn-1WPlFmFn3NF2XHrZY4iJXux4-mpdM6es8v5PnuKQ/s1600/1021-1_shirt+front.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLGmcGkIfXh_HRcDAbDaUHbQIXyUlumyQOWnKfYVbl-ekzNlu0lbNq63sscCA6OlVCxRbr_t07jJpmGbHFIrJvtwUymr-2_i9Ypn-1WPlFmFn3NF2XHrZY4iJXux4-mpdM6es8v5PnuKQ/s320/1021-1_shirt+front.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>The shirt I had some stupidity issues with. The spider was supposed to be an iron-on BUT I didn't know how to follow directions (ironed it on right side DOWN instead of up) and ended up screwing it up, luckily it was on the black spider so it was an easy fix. I traced the iron-on with a black clothing sharpie, ripped off the iron-on, and colored it in. Turned out good though.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgskasG8A3-dnGprd4ZY21j3MdXwVn3n6CJTO8n_esBQkITO56WFZvTGqKpH_ts17XHnfwBSBOi8RW7LJSuEcZnk9ee7JPGb_30b870Zpw2Of7duvJHGnOW-1IFHaMFwRO60XRD7518Vuo/s1600/1021-2_shirt+back.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgskasG8A3-dnGprd4ZY21j3MdXwVn3n6CJTO8n_esBQkITO56WFZvTGqKpH_ts17XHnfwBSBOi8RW7LJSuEcZnk9ee7JPGb_30b870Zpw2Of7duvJHGnOW-1IFHaMFwRO60XRD7518Vuo/s320/1021-2_shirt+back.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Back of the shirt. Wish the spider didn't have a white boarder and wish it were a little red-er, but it works.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFB3iwWLVhRmmZIwjLpcarStbadm9Lzx4uryDdQsxjwmfG7bkWiP-ci22e6BeD04uYsDt3ll9e0Gg-yFARLgLgxoE-P4EEXmX7valco26XhxvPWaEQs5sjAbwveSqsOFaLyLdZ18RBy2Q/s1600/1021-3_pants.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFB3iwWLVhRmmZIwjLpcarStbadm9Lzx4uryDdQsxjwmfG7bkWiP-ci22e6BeD04uYsDt3ll9e0Gg-yFARLgLgxoE-P4EEXmX7valco26XhxvPWaEQs5sjAbwveSqsOFaLyLdZ18RBy2Q/s320/1021-3_pants.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>The pants. I LITERALLY searched EVERYWHERE for a pair of red sweatpants to crop for the bottom webbing with NO LUCK! NO stores carry red sweatpants. Some carried red sweatshirts but most carried almost every color BUT red...I was getting a little frustrated and just when I was about to just give up BAM there they were, only ONE pair at Wal*Mart, size 4-T but they work!<br />
<br />

I found the Spiderman socks at the Target "Dollar Spot" awhile back and thought they would be perfect to wear with the costume.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi56MO1Rr8gS97UvM3rdot5w19RtzyqqKyciBFedjQ10YbXHBjFgq-RVxvLANhyphenhyphena5QmTHoSrVk3ysv9XXprnNUVyPyH9utOn0eCu_QkZ2SjvdIav9oPo6vsoAFuOCJNBirEoWw4OwzemVU/s1600/1021-5_back+outfit.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi56MO1Rr8gS97UvM3rdot5w19RtzyqqKyciBFedjQ10YbXHBjFgq-RVxvLANhyphenhyphena5QmTHoSrVk3ysv9XXprnNUVyPyH9utOn0eCu_QkZ2SjvdIav9oPo6vsoAFuOCJNBirEoWw4OwzemVU/s320/1021-5_back+outfit.JPG" width="186" /></a></div>Reverse side...only thing missing now is my little guy inside the costume...don't worry, those pictures will come too! This was probably a little more expensive than a store bought costume but better for several reasons: 1) "it was made with love," 2) it's warm, 3) he can wear it comfortable as PJs if he wants, and 4) once I sew the blue arms and legs onto the red shirt and pants sweatsuit, he'll have TWO outfits instead of just one.<br />

This is just an example. I'm not great with tutorials so I'm not even gonna try to do a step by step thing.<br />
<br />
Here is a before:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjToMp1RXXHUw-sW2YFPC5lXEntj8IB51e6tMpIt_lyp63ezNJhkbNsooWxOYjvgnAhIpGVjaoCBFnyER-WJ-cp6jktoRSp2xPAiCFoXkLaZcU5SRSV7aXkkolfBK5v_JSlbjznDX6S2s8/s1600/090610-BEFORE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjToMp1RXXHUw-sW2YFPC5lXEntj8IB51e6tMpIt_lyp63ezNJhkbNsooWxOYjvgnAhIpGVjaoCBFnyER-WJ-cp6jktoRSp2xPAiCFoXkLaZcU5SRSV7aXkkolfBK5v_JSlbjznDX6S2s8/s320/090610-BEFORE.jpg" /></a></div>The dress is WAY to short (maybe 6 inches at least), it has no sleeves, and the V-neck in the back is too low. This is a dress I had in High School (that I wore with a shirt under & a sweater over top). I really like it and every time I go out to my parents house I look at it and think what I can do with it. Well, here goes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDAarBWHXnAyt_m-PuBvoa9n4JJFMkOK2jbI0eL1SC_K4Xmhrhct5CMw0kZVbXqJCtth-7J47YHye1aBZytDF9y2yqyhPFeLD5U7GeFap7patDT2xA3Y1cm2-GFvLCeiUQY0oaXmiG0Q/s1600/090610-3_attached+bottom+to+shirt.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYDAarBWHXnAyt_m-PuBvoa9n4JJFMkOK2jbI0eL1SC_K4Xmhrhct5CMw0kZVbXqJCtth-7J47YHye1aBZytDF9y2yqyhPFeLD5U7GeFap7patDT2xA3Y1cm2-GFvLCeiUQY0oaXmiG0Q/s320/090610-3_attached+bottom+to+shirt.JPG" /></a></div>I had this black T-shirt I remember getting with my Mom in South Bend for my 13th birthday (yeah, I know). It still fits but ONLY as an undershirt. It's a little tight and short so I thought it would be perfect. First I cut the dress leaving the "skirt" about 21 inches. Then I sewed the skirt to the bottom of the shirt. Now I didn't take an after-after picture...I can't leave well enough alone and as you'll see in the after picture I'm going to post, the "skirt" part sits a little low and I raised it up about an inch.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgof22n4k-CSZZnwVKdip2hQVtuWTGjhPMeMiMkzu53Pr1EUrSYifqBzQ_EdVvfytKJeTyop1HVfj4ypNB_7x5AadP1R6rc-VqZGTjQZ5U-MapafLN427Y0V37cBl94340YhENylIZ8bAQ/s1600/090610-4_Mommy+%26+JJ.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgof22n4k-CSZZnwVKdip2hQVtuWTGjhPMeMiMkzu53Pr1EUrSYifqBzQ_EdVvfytKJeTyop1HVfj4ypNB_7x5AadP1R6rc-VqZGTjQZ5U-MapafLN427Y0V37cBl94340YhENylIZ8bAQ/s320/090610-4_Mommy+%26+JJ.JPG" /></a></div>Here is a picture of my WONDERFUL helper for the day. He came with me to the fabric store and was a GREAT help there. I had to pick up fabric for some other projects & all Jerimiah asked for was some horse fabric so I can make him some PJs (those pictures will come when I get to that project). He let me sew most of the day. My sewing machine is in my bedroom and he either watched me, played with some buttons I had out, or watched a movie while he rested behind me on my bed. What a great little boy I have!<br />
<br />
After I sewed the skirt on I hemmed up the bottom of the bodice I cut off the dress and tacked it to the top of the shirt.<br />
<br />
Here is the final project:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZmTVPTtGo8bT1BIRzdzN17M1JNj5rL5mDC4Ii9ewVIwQ4N2dXNpQwASeddVB-te_g_f-8m3jVlA8ZxN768x8FQ1vWxYD57W9X6kaDOnsfix2cmWELfW1gSBJQk6bwHvNhwAA-7aO-oMk/s1600/090610-AFTER.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZmTVPTtGo8bT1BIRzdzN17M1JNj5rL5mDC4Ii9ewVIwQ4N2dXNpQwASeddVB-te_g_f-8m3jVlA8ZxN768x8FQ1vWxYD57W9X6kaDOnsfix2cmWELfW1gSBJQk6bwHvNhwAA-7aO-oMk/s320/090610-AFTER.jpg" /></a></div>As you can tell, the "skirt" did need to be raised up some but I am quite proud of how it turned out.<br />
<br />
But because I have a hard time leaving well enough alone sometimes...I ALMOST completely ruined the dress! I SO wanted to basically sew in a slip so I don't have to wear a separate one...problem was the fabric I used. I almost had to cut myself out of the dress...luckily I just had to cut myself out of the slip portion. I don't know what I was thinking but the fabric I used for the "slip" had ZERO stretch to it...the whole dress is stretchy so basically it failed horribly! Anyway, I took out the slip and I'll just have to wear a separate slip, which is fine.<br />
<br />
So, what do you think? Does this project encourage or discourage you from my project? See my previous post for project details (click <a href="http://ebeautycreations.blogspot.com/2010/09/ebeauty-creations-facebook-clothing.html">here</a>).<br />
<br />
P.S. The BEST part is this whole outfit didn't cost me ANYTHING (well, unless you count the wasted "slip" fabric which I did buy)!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854629628495624763.post-66679272818741202682010-09-05T20:25:00.002-06:002010-09-05T21:01:40.214-06:00EBeauty Creations Facebook Clothing ChallengeInspired by Marisa with "New Dress A Day" (See her blog <a href="http://newdressaday.wordpress.com/">here</a>) I think I have finally decided on a "challenge" I could do.<br />
<br />
BUT I NEED YOUR HELP!<br />
<br />
365 days is a little too daunting for me so I'm going to do a new outfit a week...that's only 52 weeks instead of 365 days. How can you help? My challenge to myself is your challenge for me. I need each of you to mail me an outfit you are no longer wearing (too out dated, too small, too big, in need of some TLC, etc) and I will "re-purpose" the outfit (including making it modest). This also will help expand my own personal closet collection as I feel like I'm wearing the same outfits week after week after week.<br />
<br />
Ok, now that you're on board...I think I want to start this project the first of the year so I will take from this time through December to collect articles from you my friends so I can start in January (give me time to think and plan).<br />
<br />
Mail your submissions to: (give me your email so I can send you the address)<br />
<br />
Thanks and we'll see what wonderful things I can come up with. You can try to stump me but try to be nice too :)<br />
<br />
P.S. Submissions for Jerimiah's wardrobe would be acceptable too.<br />
<br />
I will probably start a new blog for this challenge...stay tuned!<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm also working on an "EXAMPLE" post with this dress...<br />

Jerimiah tosses and turns a LOT in his sleep which means 2 things. 1) he always comes uncovered and 2) he gets tangled up in his sheets, therefore I don't put sheets on his bed. Here is my FABULOUS solution:<br />
<br />

Just last night I went to cover Jerimiah up when I went to bed and his foot was sticking WAY OUT but was completely covered from the sheet!

Luckily I had this old curtain which was the PERFECT size, just folded it in half and sewed it to double thickness.

I have a REAL ADDICTION right now, it's creative craft blogs! I know they are things I will probably NEVER actually make (well, most of them I won't) but for some reason I can't get enough of them!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854629628495624763.post-25088260586451483552010-05-22T09:59:00.000-06:002010-05-22T09:59:14.813-06:00CoastersSince it's now summer and ice filled cups seem to sweat more in the summer I made myself a coaster for my desk at work (no picture). Nothing fancy but it works. So I decided to make some for my coworkers too:<br />

<u>Cow Print is for Lisa</u>: She has 2 gateway "stress" cows on her desk and a clip paper holder cow on her desk, therefore, I deemed this pattern appropriate for her.<br />
<u>Doggie Print is for Bonnie:</u> I don't have a big variety of patterns of fabric laying around right now and I thought since Bonnie does like dogs (although it's not her Maggie) she would like this.<br />

Yesterday we loaded it up in a gift bag I had around the house. That evening I decided to make him one. I let him pick out the fabric (he chose his army fabric). After picking out the fabric he replied, "I so lucky!"<br />
<br />
Here's the semi-final project:<br />
<br />

Not wanting to do the whole turn the fabric inside out and make my own straps...I stole straps from a gift bag I had laying around...once I get to the store I will remedy that! Jerimiah's gonna be SO excited when he wakes up and sees this this morning!<br />
<br />
Want one?<br />
<br />
Cost $6 (depending on straps)<br />

My wonderful friend, Joli, wanted to order one for a friends little boy who does NOT like sports. I haven't really found convenient HUGE variety of buttons so I settled on some car buttons. Because Jerimiah was SO good while I was looking through ALL the buttons, I got him a special set of buttons too.<br />
