Recycled shirt






This is what I've been working on . I made this dress from one of my husband's shirts that he just happened out grow. It's for my 5 year old granddaughter. The front of the shirt is the back of the dress and the back of the shirt is the front of the dress. I took the pockets off the front of the shirt and used one of them on the front of the dress. I can't wait to give it to her. Next time I may try it the other way around, so the buttons are down the front of the dress. I will post a picture of Ella wearing the dresss as soon as I can.

Yesterday was the first day of spring and the weather was unbelievable. Today more believable, rainy and rather gray. I got my crock pot out and cooked a chicken, took the meat off the bone and decided on chicken pot pie. It was really good and hit the spot. The best part about it is, there is enough for 2 more meals that I don't have to put much thought to.
