Zip Up Cardigan From T-Shirt

Fireflies and Jellybeans created a cute zip up cardigan from a t-shirt for a girl! This is a great way to repurpose a t-shirt that may have a stain on it.

T-shirt Jackets and Pull-overs!

I Am Momma, Hear Me Roar is brilliant! She turned plain t-shirts into trendy zip down jackets and pull overs for her little guys! This is a fabulous idea for Spring weather!

Romper/ Sleeper with Zipper (from old shirts)

Head over to Life On Willowdale to learn how make old shirts in sleeper/rompers/outfits that zip - not snap. I don't know about you, but my kids' snaps would come undone ALL the time once they started kicking and moving about! With the zipper, the pants stay close! Great idea!

Looky! Looky!

Here are some links I'm loving from today's party!!!!

Is this not the coolest airplane shelf you have ever seen? I saw it in an awesome baby nursery at Give Me the Simple Life. There's not a tutorial since it was bought, but I think it could be replicated quite easily. See the entire adorable baby nursery HERE.

I made my little guy a couple of reversible ties similar to these a while ago and I LOVE them. I need to make a few more. See how Lil' Luna made them and get the tie template HERE.

Don't you love the look of a chair wrapped with "expensive" fabric and tied with a bow in back? I do. It's a great way to dress up a dining room or reception! See how All Things Beautiful created her chairs with ribbon HERE.

I like this "twist" on zipper rosettes. See how she made them twisty at Krafty Mum. GO HERE.

Such a simple, yet mossy Spring centerpiece. Find this at Reinvented. Go HERE.
Of course, Spring is the beginning of flowers. Don't you love this zipper flower necklace at Gettin' Crafty? Go HERE.
Few things say Spring like robin eggs. This display got the most views last week at the Nest CC Show. See it at Mad In Craft. GO HERE!

A turquoise bird house with a nest! Oh how lovely!!! Cheap Like A Birdie created this masterpiece HERE.

We have to have a Spring wreath in this post. This one by Domestic Princess in Training has so much that says "Spring." A nest, greens, little blossoms! See it HERE.
We probably should have two wreaths actually. Butterflies are definitely a sign that Spring has arrived. I can't wait to see some fluttering around SOON! Bits of Me has the butterfly wreath. Go HERE.
