Our favorite crafts recap

In an attempt to inspire our creative sides and to celebrate our blog's six month birthday (it was on July 1... oops), we have decided to review some of our favorite crafts we have done so far on a clover & a bee!  Bleach Dipped Plaid Button Up- we got really excited about bleach for awhile there...My dorm smelled constantly of bleach. This bleach dipped plaid shirt turned out really well and we got a good laugh because people thought that I was pregnant due to some odd camera angles...

Glitter Dipped Mason Jars- we love all things shiny and involving mason jars (usually) so making a glitter dipped mason jar seemed inevitable. We loved the ways it turned out-Our toothbrushes look so fancy in it! Bleach Dipped Levi Shorts-Its true, we pretty much live in our Levi shorts. Thus the need to own several pairs that look slightly different so we experimented with bleach and added a few studs. Cute right? Cat Print Dress-We don't own a cat and may be slightly allergic, but cats are just to cute to leave out of the crafting fun. we used an apple to print little cat heads all over one of our dresses and love the way it turned out. Heart Print Table Cloth- During our Valentines themed week we made our own heart print table cloth using, you guessed it, an apple! This process of printing is our new favorite. Embroidered Cocktail Napkins- Wiping your face is so much more fun when wiping it with cute fabric with adorable phrases hand stitched into them. Its true, this is a real testimony. This was such a simple DIY for making your table just a little cuter. Crochet Skirt- In the winter we lived in these crochet skirts! They are adorable paired with a big chunky sweater and some tights. Turns out they are also pretty simple to make (that is if you have atleast some sewing experience!) Here is to another six months (and then some) of crafting! Hope you guys are having fun with us! - Leah and Erin

what we wore when...

..we went for a stroll around the neighborhood
















We completely acknowledge that we have been horrible about doing outfit posts lately. Are we just a bit lazy sometimes? Maybe. (Thanks for the encouragement, Mary!)

The weather has been seriously perfect the last few days. With highs of only 90 degrees and lows around 60 we have been walking around the neighborhood like crazy! This has made professor especially happy, since he is usually involved in said walks. His little legs can only go so far, so we aren't able to go on extended walks. (Though I did take him on a two miler the other day.. I ended up carrying him for a good half mile)

Our summer outfits are pretty simple usually. Breezy tops, tanks, shorts, and our clogs get the most use! Leah has literally been living in her cut off Levi shorts...

what item of clothing have you been living in this summer?

Also you may have noticed we did a wee bit of shuffling things around. We present.... bigger photos! (So now when you look back at old posts the photos will be smaller, sorry about that!)

what we are wearing this summer.

1//2//3//4//5//6//7//8//9//

We are loving all of this sun and warm weather, though some days it is too hot and therefore very hard to find inspiration for things to wear! All day long we want to reach for layers to add interest to our outfits but the heat just keeps us from doing so. When we do put together an outfit though we reach for simple and cute summer dresses, cut off levis and breezy tank tops, maxi skirts, soft pastels, along with some pops of color. One of our new favorite summer trends is overalls! Has anyone else been loving them this summer? I got my first pair (since childhood) and I haven't figured how to wear them yet, but boy am I excited!

Do you have any items of clothing you couldn't live without in the summer?
