Sponge print onesies.

I had some plain baby clothes I'd received and I thought I'd spice them up with some stenciling. I just went for it. However I wasn't really happy with how the bib turned out (sometimes crafts just don't work out!) so I thought I'd just share the onesies with you today.

To recreate this all you need is some plain onesies,  black fabric paint, a sponge and some scissors.

I chose to cut the the sponge to create two shapes- 1. an arrow like heart and 2. a cross like shape.

I put the fabric paint on a plastic plate and then just went for it with the stamps and am pleased with how my onesies turned out (I think I went a bit overboard with the stamping on the bib and it was just a little too much).

I might keep experimenting with a few more stamped outfits but really they'll look so much cuter once there is a baby inside them.

Clothes on a budget.

Now I have a confession. I love clothes. I hate wearing the same things over and over again. So I have a little very first world problem, since I'm not shopping this year, except second hand, I've had to step up my creativity and thought when it comes to putting together good outfits. After all it's been more than two months since I purchased any item of clothing from a store

I felt pretty chuffed on the weekend to pick up some quality clothing items from the local thrift shop. 3 tops for $6, that's my kind of pricing!
I think the above top is just so beautiful and I can't wait to wear it all summer. My other finds include a stripped witchery top and checked country road shirt.
I have found that the best way to ensure you wear your thrifted items is just to go for it and make sure you wear each one as soon as you can, even if it's just to walk the dog. I must admit this whole outfit made me feel very country. Good thing I'm currently living in outback Australia.

Shirt, bag, hat thrifted. Ladakah jeans. Toms.

If I keep going like this and finding lots of secondhand clothes, then perhaps this whole not shopping thing won't be too hard.

Do you thrift your clothes? How do you make thrifted clothes work for you?
