(iCandy and tutorial) Cupboard Birthday Countdown

So, I'm about to leave my 20's behind. 30 seems sooo much older than 29, right? But any birthday is just an excuse to celebrate, so I broke out yet another cupboard door to help our family countdown to our birthdays...I've got 3 days and counting until I'm no longer 20-something.

This is a pretty easy project to do and you can probably figure it out on your own, but even still, I did lay out a simple tut, just in case.

I was trying to concoct a fun project to do with these long skinny cupboard doors that I had in the garage...this project seemed the perfect fit, but you could use any size board or cupboard door for this one!

(eyeCandy) Knit Pillowcase Nightgowns

I have had nightgowns on the mind lately... Emily needs some more.

She has these, but when I get behind on laundry, (which is often)

it is a problem because she doesn't want to wear anything else.

Anyway, I just saw these
knit pillowcase nightgowns this week.

Here is the tutorial at Everyday Chaos.

Gorgeous.

As all you long-time followers know, I have loads of knit in my stash.

Begging to be used up.

Don't these look SO comfy? And pretty?

Now they just need to get MADE.

(tutorial and pattern) The Perfect Fitted Cap Sleeve Tee

A couple of weeks ago, when getting ready for this photoshoot, I needed the perfect tee. Something fitted to go with the full skirt, with minimal cap sleeves and a scoop neckline.

I didn't have that perfect top. I have a Shade Clothing tee, but the neckline is too high, and I feel like it is not flattering at all. I also have a couple of Layers Clothing tees, but I don't have white. I really like the fit and cut of the Layers ones, but they are no longer in business.

After the photoshoot, which were skirt-only pictures, I decided to make my own

Perfect Fitted Cap Sleeve Tee.

I used a Layers tee (size M) as a guide and slightly modified it

(shortened the sleeve just a tiny bit, and added a band to the neckline).

I am SO happy with the way it turned out.
