Feeling crafty?

I've been feeling super crafty lately.  I don't know if it's the scorching hot, want to stay inside weather, or the fact that my mom gave me an extraordinarily large amount of craft materials and fabric.  I would guess it it both, but I think the latter effects it more so.  However, this craftiness has brought out this whole retro/ thrift store vibe and I have been finding goodies at thrift stores lately.  My fav finds lately?  A couple vintage dresses, wing-tip pumps, and new lamps!  Ok, so they aren't "new," but they have big, pale blue drum shades that match the end tables downstairs and are taller and put off more light!  Fabulous, right?  I forget where I was going with this, so I will end with a picture of a dress I made with mom's fabric.  I am wearing shoes, and they are cute white flats with teal, orange, and blue pin flowers.  I guess the picture is a little over-exposed.  I need to get my husband up-to-speed with the camera!


Oh yes, see the building behind the lake? One of My husband's best friends and his awesome fiance are moving in (It's great to have a "couple friend" so close)!  We are totally taking the kayak to their place sometime!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I have really been feeling crafty too lately. I have been on a sewing frenzy, and I too love to go to the thrift store. I have several sweaters waiting to be refashioned into cardigans, if only it would get cooler.
