I have had so much fun making skirts for my daughter from jeans that she has outgrown.
At 6 years old she’s growing taller than she is in the tummy so the jeans are just becoming too short. Turning them into skirts has been fun for both of us.
There are several sites for instructions if you google it. But my favorite site is here.
I’ve just used material that I’ve had on hand. So for me the cost has been $0 but you find inexpensive material at your favorite store. This is an excellent project for a beginning seamstress or a Mother-Daughter project.
This is a picture of the skirt: 
After finishing the skirt and I was inspired to turn her brothers outgrown overalls into a dress too! (for my daughter of course!) 
Give it a try! What have you got to lose? Nothing. But you have a really cute skirt to gain!

I know Spring is arriving when my children come in with a small bouquet of Daffodils for me to display. It becomes a competition between them. Who can pick the newest bloom first and surprise mom? I love it!
But it’s January and guess what I have in my kitchen. Yep, you guessed it. Daffodils. I’ve actually gotten a few bouquets this year. The weather here in the south has been so mild that all kinds of things have begun blooming. Unfortunately though, this past weekend it turned very cold and I’m sure that wasn’t good for the confused plants.
Well, I enjoyed the tease of Spring while it lasted. It can’t be too far around the corner!
Socks. Urgh. We’re not friends. Apparently the socks are not friends with each other either. They have a hard time staying together after they’re pulled off of our feet.
The best way I have found to remedy lone sock disorder is to keep a small basket (size matters in this case!) in my laundry room window sill. As I am taking laundry out of my dryer I throw the socks in a pile. If I can quickly put them together I do but I don’t spend a lot of time finding mates because by this time someone needs me for something! Before I leave the laundry room I toss them in my small basket.
When the family sits down to watch TV together through the week I will pull out the basket and we sit there and sort and pair together. In the meantime, if you don’t have socks in your drawer, you’re free to search the basket yourself.
Any socks that have been there for a while gets tossed in the trash or the craft box. Not good stewardship, I know. But this works for me.
