Makin' a Messy introduction

Good afternoon friends!

This is my VERY FIRST BLOGGG! Ahhh!
I want to introduce myself a bit and let you know what I've been up to.
I graduated December 2011 with a Bachelors in Business Administration and minor in Biblical Studies from Lee University in Cleveland, TN.
I moved home to MN
and have been looking for the right job since.
While on the job hunt, I moved into my parents basement and have completely taken over with my MESS!
The basement living room has become my craft room with a sewing machine, iron, ironing board and multiple craft bins.

FAMILY
Allow me to introduce you

brother, sister, me, sister, brother (in order to conceal everyones identity:] )

ME ME ME
I love being creative!
I looooove drinking coffee
  and am working on opening a coffee shop in the near future
but most importantly, I love Jesus with my whole heart and life.

I am OBSESSED with Pinterest and catching myself constantly saying, "I can do that!",
I do seem to be accident prone,

my latest mishap ... a 1 inch needle in the heel

and recently discovered "refashioning"
I drug my friend, Alyssa, to Good Will with me (I think its worth noting that its her FIRST time in a second hand store) and we chose this lovely little number for $4.00. She thought I was crazy.


Cute right?! I loved the buttons and pattern.
It was a Saturday night and I could not find anything in my closet to wear... so I pulled the old dress out. This is what I came up with!







It was so easy and SOOO much fun! So I decided to give it another go around...




NEXT TIME Ill post the step by step process!

So that is what my blog will be about
I hope you stop by often
get inspired
and enjoy

God bless!

with love, Abby

    1. Hi Tiff,

      Unfortunately, I do not have a step-by-step for this dress BUT the bottom was done just like the Easy DIY Low-to-high skirt. As far as the top goes, I chopped off the sleeves and neck, folded in under about an inch and put in elastic. It was really simple. I hope that helps!!

      Thank you,
      Abby
