Refashioned Men's T-shirt

A couple of weeks ago I hit the thrift store. I was itching to find something that I could refashion into something I'd love to wear. So I went straight to the men's extra large t-shirt section and I found exactly what I was looking for!

Geometric print...check!

Crooked silk screen design...check!

And then yesterday this happened. 

Wonderful friend loaned me her serger...check!

Tunics are my go-to refashion idea these days. I work with three and four year olds and tunics and leggings are my basic uniform making it easy to be both sitting on the ground or dancing. So it's super fun to have a lot of tunic choices.

After

I love it!

And now a serger is at the top of my "to purchase" wish list!

Out on the Town

Continuing my Phyllis, the wonder chicken, theme...

Certainly Phyllis does not stay in the chicken yard all day long. No way. She's way too sophisticated for such things. No, I'm quite sure that my wonder girl puts a bow in her hair, grabs her purse, and heads out to do some shopping. Now Phyllis is a practical girl, of course, so that amazing chicken of mine is surely hitting all the best thrift stores South Austin has to offer.

Thrift Store Dress

I went thrifting over the weekend and found the most adorable little spring/summer dress. It is fabulous and will go great with my cowboy boots!

But....

Due to my laziness I was unwilling to shave (as I thought I oughta) so the perfect weather Sunday went on its merry way leaving only cold and raininess in its wake.

So I wait. And I reconsider the concept of laziness as I gear up for a lovely and sunny spring weekend ahead.
