I also made skirt #3 of my new "trademark skirt" tonight. It is very bright spring green - not neon, but close. All 3 of them are exactly the same, sooo comfortable, and excellent for the summer - very light and airy. So far I have a bright blue and a dark maroon-ish one, and now, green. I also want to make navy and black ones... and possibly a tan. I am totally addicted! I have been limiting myself to buying the fabric only when I have a coupon for JoAnns - but I usually have at least 1 a week, and they take competitors' coupons, too. I am going to fill my closet before the summer is over... although they would probably work for the winter with some leggings under them! Okay, maybe not the spring green. It's a little too bright. (I keep meaning to take pictures but forgetting... and pictures always turn out so much better in natural light, so it's a little late now. Hopefully I'll remember during naptime tomorrow!)
I also finished another craft project late last week. The fruit of my labor:
Felt "Very Hungry Caterpillar" pieces. Yes, we are obsessed with that theme around here! (That was the theme of Nate's birthday party as well.) But it is truly his favorite book. It is so cute to see the look on his face when we read it. There is a piece to act out every page of the book. To give you an idea of the size, the butterfly is about 7 inches across, and the apple is about an inch and a half high. I used felt glue, which I was very wary of at first, but it worked great! These pieces have already been toddler tested. :) And now I have a felt-board-scene-creating obsession. (I still haven't finished my felt farm in the basement, though! It is on my "crafting to-do" list.)
Super cool. Gemma enjoys that book too, although I must say if I were to have to choose an all-time favorite from her baby-days it was definitely Brown Bear.
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the skirts, can't wait to see pics. So, you can take a 40% Hobby Lobby coupon to Joanns and they'll honor it?
Yeah! I think the only stipulation is that you have to use the competitor's coupon on something that the competitor also sells, which isn't a big deal with Hobby Lobby, since they have essentially the same things. However, I'm pretty sure you can't use a Michael's coupon on fabric, since Michael's doesn't sell fabric. That kind of thing.
