Busy weekend!

We were supposed to go to the zoo Saturday with Cub Scouts but due to the weather it got canceled so I got busy on some much needed work.

First I turned an outdated navy blue dress into a modern vintage dress for Easter. I got this dress free about 2 years ago and hadn't done a thing with it. I cut off the floofy sheer sleeves, brought them hem up quite a bit, and Wallah! It's hard to see from this picture but it turned out really cute once on. I'll add more pictures after Easter.

Then I took one of Michael's button-up shirts and turned it into a new shirt. I bought him a long-sleeve white button up for Easter a few years back but it didn't fit right. We didn't have time to get a new one so he wore it but to this day still picks on me for it. So what better solution than to cut it up! Lol!
I turned it into a fitted, short sleeve, ruffled front, button-up shirt. It was a lot easier than it sounds.

After all that was finished, I got started on my spring cleaning. It didn't take that long to finish the entire house. I'm a clean freak anyways so my house wasn't that bad to start off with. I used this pin from Pinterest and it really helped!

I also discovered Borax! Wonderful stuff. You can use it to clean everything in your house, from dishes to laundry to bathrooms. It can also be used as an ant detergent I am told. I haven't tried that one yet. I did use it to clean my whole house, and it made it so easy. I also used it in my white laundry and WOW! It really made them white and helped to fight stains. It's only $5.00 for a huge box. I am a hooked! My new best friend, lol!

After church today I went shopping for our Easter outfits. I made mine, Tevon was simple, Michael....whew! He was difficult. But I think we have it figured out.

Then tonight I helped my sister get some things organized at her house while Michael mowed her grass and moved some furniture for her. Happy Early Birthday Sissy!
