Easter Dresses




Easter comes every year and it is a fun tradition to make your little family outfits for it. These are the dresses I made for my girls, and the boys have matching ties.

Frozen Burritos



So I am getting into the 'cook one day for a month' idea. I made been/beef/cheese burritos, wrapped them in saran wrap and threw them in the freezer. I used home made refried beans and put my favorite seasonings in the meat. To help with organization in the freezer, I put them all in a cereal boxes. They heat up well in the microwave, and it saved us a lot of time and money.

Birthday Banner



I made this 'Happy Birthday' banner at a church activity. The triangles are simply surged, sewn to a long ribbon and the letters are hot glued on. We keep it up for a week following the kids birthday and they love it.

Aprons





I made these aprons from the pant legs of my husband's dress pants. They are really good material, hold up well, and wash well. There was a hole in one of the knees which I patched and put a pocket over. All I did was cut out the apron, hem it, and add ribbon for the ties!
