Today is Show & Tell at Kelli's House. Click on the above button to go to her place where you can see the rest of those joining in on the fun.
Here's one of Elle's shirts that she wore last summer. I love the bright colors and flowers.
I decided to turn it into my clothespin bag for my laundry line. I think it turned out great - I don't know how long it'll last before fading - but for now, it makes me smile when I look out!!
Some of the local farm markets and road-side stands sell little Amish-dress clothespin bags, but I hadn't seen any this year. I started searching on the internet for some ideas. One site suggested using a toddler dress to make one. I searched through last year's clothing and came upon this shirt - Elle always looked so cute in it.

What a great creative idea that is. I can smell the fresh laundry drying on the line....
But what if you have another little girl? Now she won't be able to wear this cute shirt! hee heee

What a perfect shirt to do it with. Matches the sunshine.

Ah! That's fabulous! I remember you talking about this at Roots.
How neat! I would have never thought of doing that!
I have seen the little Amish ones you are talking about. They are sold around here. However, I like your idea better because of the memories attached.
I would love to know how you did the header on your blog. It is darling!!
What a cute way to prolong the enjoyment of a favorite piece of a little one's clothing! It brightens up the clothesline and the task.
That is such a GREAT idea! I admire such a sentimental and functional creation!
How cute! I just got my internet back.Yea!

PS~ I edited my blog post, come see:D
Oh...that's soooooooo cute. I would have had a hard time turning the dress in to a clothespin holder in the first place.
Another genius idea.
What a cute idea! Good Job!
Makes me miss having a clothes line. I had a neat bag back in the day and I forgot all about it until seeing this post. Leave it to my smart and crafty friend to come up with such a cool idea.
That is the cutest! Sorry, though, it does not make me want a clothes line. Nope, did that enough as a child! I wouldn't mind having a cute bag like that--but I would use it for something else! :-)
Oh so sweet. How crafty you are girl. Love the idea. I don't use a clothes line, but would love one of those bags.
Great idea.
Thanks for sharing and have a blessed weekend.

Thanks for leaving me a comment. It is great to meet you too! I have enjoyed reading your blog, my husband thinks that I am addicted to reading blogs!
:0) I am so encouraged by hearing others and the good and bad of being a mom. How fun that you have three kids as well. I love having three, lots of work but lots more joy! I hope that we can communicate more.
Fabulous idea! It is adorable.
What a sweet idea! And I loved the new portraits of you and the kiddos too!
What a creative idea! I used to have a purchased clothespin bag, but it is worn out. I'll have to look through E's clothing. Thanks for the helpful hint!
Too cute!!
That's such a cute idea!
