It's Tee Shirt Time

Ok... I saw these on the web and had to give it a try.  I got the markers at Michael's and the onesies at my least favorite store Walmart.  Our Walmart is grub 2 the E.  It is the only one in Vermont, and the use of it shows.  
My process for making these little cuties was finding a tie in Adam's closet of hell, and tracing it onto the onesie.  The first one I did I winged it, and it turned out like crap.  Then I thought of my love for polka dotted ties and used a quarter to trace the circles.  I colored in the rest with whatever color I wanted.  Here are the results.




I can't wait to see the little man in these.  Ohhh and I have the most fabulous project in the works right now. My EFT (estimated finish time) is probably 3 days.  Have a great weekend, and spooktacular Halloween!

UPDATE:  This project is a little more than I thought it would be.  I am the worst spray painter ever, and have to do some fixin.  It will still be fabulous and be posted when I finish it up.

Faux Real!!












I'd like to thank The Academy, The Associated Press, and my family without you this could not have happened. I did it, I made two pillows with my left over zebra fabric from the ottoman. I made one an envelope style slipcover, and the other was a slipcover that I closed with two buttons. Love It! I put some pics with me actually making it. I am not even close to being a good sewer, or even an average sewer, hence me being so surprised at my work.

Goodwill Find




Went to my favorite store today, Goodwill. I got quite a few things, they had a boat load of good stuff. I have quite a few projects on my plate right now, so stay tuned I'm pretty excited about them. Tom and I went grocery shopping yesterday and picked up these beautiful Sunflowers. I had put the flowers in a vase, but the top of the vase was way too wide, making the sunflowers a little droopy. I went to Goodwill hoping for a more narrow top vase, which I found, but I also found this cool silver decorative vase that I put the other vase in. I think it looks pretty good.

My Favorite Thing




I hate to state the obvious, but a cute idea for wall decor is framing something special from your little one's. I love this peice Adam made me for Mother's Day!
