Children's table turkey

 I got this lovely idea on Pinterest. I had to make it. Shawna helped me realize my dreams. Here she is taking it out of the oven :)

 Here it is, complete with garnishes (stolen from the veggie tray).

And after we carved it, the kids dug in. They actually didn't eat any more than they ate of the actual turkey. It was disgusting, because it wasn't swimming in butter. But it was cute.

P.S. I am traumatized today because I found a blog that has the same name as mine! I thought I was so clever, too.

Refasion: my shirt to Zoe's shirt

 Not the greatest picture, but this is me wearing that pink shirt about a year and a half ago. Everytime I wore the shirt Zoe would say, "Mom, I wish I had a shirt like that!" Well, it got a hole in it (all of my shirts have holes in the front, I think it is from leaning my belly where the granite tile is rough when I do the dishes, and cook?).
I was going to throw it out but I decided to turn it Zoe sized instead.

It worked out so well! Okay, so I should've done a tutorial, but I never know if it WILL turn out. You know I only post things on here if they turn out. How many projects have I NOT posted because they flopped? Lots :)

Repurposing: flare leg cords to "skinny" cords

 I mind as well call this post "I am cheap", because that is pretty much what this comes down to. I just got some boots with which I need to wear skinny jeans. I don't have any skinny jeans, due to the fact I just don't think I should wear them. I am "curvy" and I don't think that they are made for curvy ladies. They are, after all called "skinny" jeans. But I love my boots enough that I will wear skinny jeans, or in this case, skinny cords.

 Here are some old cordoroy flare leg pants that someone gave me (that is how I get most of my clothes :) I decided I wanted to be able to wear them with my boots. I had turned some flare jeans of Zoe's into skinnies and they worked out so well, I decided to try for myself.

 I think they turned out okay. I will wear them anyway.

I also tried with some jeans and they worked out great as well. Now I have two pairs of skinny jeans and spent no money. Also, I don't have to say I broke my vow never to buy skinny jeans.
