Skirt to shirt!

I got really excited the other day when I saw a Martha Stewart Crafts Department tweet about a quick and easy sewing project that transforms a long skirt into a dress.  I was so inspired, I made this!

Don't be fooled by my SUPERB modeling skills - I made it myself!

It was quick and easy - I found a little number at the Goodwill that was a just below the knee length skirt.  I decided it was too short for a dress (I'm 30 something and I don't really do "mini" anything anymore.) so it would be a fun, swingy top that I could tie a ribbon around to belt it if I wanted to.

I found a rainbow-y ribbon at the back of my ribbon drawer that had long been forgotten.  Turns out it was perfect for this top!

What do you think?  I think it'll be my new gardening top...

The Twitter...

I've done it - deedsandpetunia is now tweeting.  I have to say, it's better than I thought it would be!  It's more exciting than Facebook - faster, more condensed.  But, you don't get the advantage of browsing through everyone's pictures or seeing which events they're attending (so you can casually be there too...) like you do on Facebook.  I do believe it's called "Face-Stalking.  :)  But if you want to read what thought are pouring out of me at any given moment, and don't want to face-stalk me, follow me on Twitter!
