Repurposed

I had some old pajama pants that I no longer wore because they had a rather inconvenient hole in them.


 But, me being me, I kept them thinking that maybe I could use the material for something. Well, I found a use for them! My oldest daughter has been growing like crazy in the last few months and not to many of her pajamas fit her anymore. So I made some new ones for her. She's so happy now!


I also had some leftover pink fleece so I sewed up a shirt as well using pattern 5744 from McCalls.

----------------------------------------------------------

I was using this wonderful jar for storing my kitchen utensils on my counter for the last 6 years. I'ts never been quite big enough to fit all the ones I use.  


So the other day while I was just about to throw away another empty can of formula I had an aha! moment.
I gathered together my supplies: some scrapbook paper, scissors and mod podge and got to work.
The end result was this! And look how much room I have to stuff things into it!!

I gave Nadiya her first taste of rice cereal last night. I don't think she was quite as excited about it as I was. ;)



Heehee, it makes me giggle inside just looking at it! I don't think she was too impressed.
