Happy 4th of July!!! I hope you had a wonderful long holiday weekend!
I LOVE fireworks!
I managed to DIY a little this week! My daughter decided the night before she left for Germany that a passport/carrier would be handy since she was to keep it on her person all of the time. I kept fearing that she’d lose her purse (she did lose her cell phone but luckily, found it) or that it’d be stolen. So, we came up with…a place to carry her passport/money under her clothing. I had everything I needed at home! I love when that happens!
Materials:
- Scrap fabric
- Ribbon
- Iron-on velcro
Here is my tutorial in pictures. I‘ll come back and edit/add the instructions since I’m short on time right now.
Very handy! She wears it under her shirt but for picture purposes…well, you know. Now, passport and money are safe. 🙂 The ribbon has a velcro closure so it’s adjustable. Not bad for free and about an hour of work before she left the next day.
*For those of you asking…here’s Niski, making the best of bed rest. 🙂 Thanks for your prayers! Still being optimistic!

When it rains on your deck now you can you stay dry below it with underdecking?
I know this is really random… but that shirt that you or your daughter has on in that last pic is absolutely adorable! I'm wanting some ruffly lace on one of my shirts now! Still praying for your pup 🙂 <3
Great way to keep her passport safe. Thanks for hosting again.
Love the material used on the passport holder! Thanks for hosting 🙂

Poor little Niski! She looks so adorable in her baby bed though. I'm glad she's cooperating with the bed rest. I will keep praying that she gets better quickly!
Oh little Niski, what a little babe.
Your daughter will have a blast in Germany. I traveled to Italy in college and it changed me and my views of the world. How exciting!
Nisky is so sweet…I hope she gets better, soon.
I linked up my FAUX Driftwood Sailboat.
Thanks for another great party.

Such a cute passport cover – LOVE the peace sign fabric! Yay, little Niski, she looks about as cozy as a pup can look.
If Niski would like it she could sit in my lap for her bed rest time 🙂 I would talk to her, pet her and tell her how sweet she is. Love and hugs to you guys!
Keep the Niski updates coming! I hate that such a sweet little animal is having such a hard time!
