1st Entry - 1st Official Refashion

So, I finally figured out what I should blog about. It's the stuff I'm always doing when I'm not working, the stuff I'm doing when I should be working, the stuff I dream about, search for, shop for... And it actually is just stuff - sewing, crafting, kids projects, places to go and things to do with the kids. So, it's a mom blog, basically. Like all those other blogs out there, I'm not sure I'm looking to stand out, but we'll see where this takes me.

SO! I'm about to unveil my first refashion. Drum rolll please...















I did it in one afternoon. I can't find the image of the shirt that inspired this one, but i'll post as soon as I find it.
BTW - this was originally a maternity shirt that my friend tie-dyed for me that I still wanted to wear, so this is what I did to it.
Comments welcome.
