{before & after}

after:


been wanting to create a shirt for a while but between 3 jobs and spending time with the boy,

this summer leaves no free time to be found

shirt was simple to make - sewed ruffles out of strips of fabric

created flowers from strips of fabric

attatched to plain white shirt from target

ta da new shirt

hopefully soon i will have the second shirt i have been working on -

it just needs beads added to it which will hopefully be done during the car ride on our trip this

weekend

more on that soon...

{june 1st}

the "21 things before 22" list re-visted.

it's june 1st which means there are 4 more months to complete the list

surprisingly i have crossed off several things

although i think the harder ones are the ones that remain

9 out of 21 done.


p.s. completed that running goal last week with 106%... unsure of whether i want to start another. :-)
