Finish it up Friday..

Hey everyone, it's Friday! Man did this week go fast, I'm not sure why but it seems like it was just Monday. I really like linking up with Finish It Up Friday last week so I'm doing it again. I managed to get one thing done this week. I used the great fabric basket tutorial to make this little basket. I didn't follow the sizing on the tutorial because I didn't want it to be teeny tiny. It is still small but not super small. It is 5 inches deep (tall) and 9 inches across and the boxed corners are 3 inches wide. I used up some of my jelly roll scraps and some left over grey.

I kinda like it. It was super simple to make and it didn't take much time..  I think I'm going to make some of these for Christmas. I'm also thinking about linking up to this linky over at FairyFace Designs. It's a winter list of the projects you want to get done. So yeah, that's about all I have for now. There are something like 47 other links over at Crazy Mom Quilts so I have to get busy checking them out!
Have a great weekend!!

Refashioned Skirt!

So here's the skirt.

Really, it looks about the same as the original. Which is here.

The difference is that its about 4 inches shorter and actually fits around my waist instead of around my ribs. So I might actually wear it. You can't really see it but it has embroidery all along the bottom. So I guess we'll have to see if I ever wear it. Maybe I'll wear it today because it is supposed to be like 85 out. And it rained all night and then again in the morning so the humidity is probably 100% so it might be a good day for a skirt.
I did start the shirt today, I'm not so sure about it.. I only pinned it together and it was really (really) high up around my neck. SO I need to think about it for a while and see what I can do with it.. I have a feeling that it just might not be a shape that works for me. But we'll see. I think I might just give it a neck line instead of it being straight across.
As for projects I'm not working on anything else right now, the shirt is in the "thinking" stage.
I linked up my last post over at SEWHAPPYGEEK! So head over there and check out her great blog.
