Finished Printed Tshirt

The first shirt I made ended up going to a friend, so with the remaining soy fabric I made another one to print on. I think it turned out wonderfully, and his classmates did too! From the other post, you'll remember I drew a design based off an old photo from a class here at OHSU. I believe they have chosen this to be their class t shirt that they will sell to raise money. The question now is will I be printing the 100 something t shirts they order??

Car Caddy

I found this tutorial a while ago and then saw a different version of the car caddy by Jill onSYTYC so I had to try one for my nephew. I made it similar to Jill's because I loved the idea of reusing old jeans. I wasn't going to add the number's inside but without them it looked a little empty. I added a felt car on front and printed CARS on top. I love how it turned out:

Banner

Today is the start of my sisters birthday month. Baby T and I are going to fly east for a big (harry potter themed) birthday bash at the end of the month. You see in our family we believe in celebrating a week, or better yet month of birthday fun. Which is why I decided I had to make a birthday banner. I loved it so much I left it up for a couple days to celebrate the last few days of my birthday month :).

This was super easy to make. I made the triangle pattern on some paper then cut out twos of 10 different fabrics. Serged there sides then printed them with there letters, made some bias tape and sewed away. Alright it was pretty time consuming especially because baby t only took a short nap but I did finish it in one day. I feel like I want to make more of them! Want one?

All in a days work

I managed to accomplish quite a bit today. I started early and had the whole day to sew. I finished up the Sewn Giveaway prize for Linda and put it in the mail today. I made a hemp clutch with a design on it for her and a little dino (made from eco friendly felt) for her baby on the way. Thanks for playing Linda, I hope you enjoy your gifts.

I also finished a smock dress (obviously didn't iron it) and a surprise project that you can take just a peek at. I'm finishing a lot of things for etsy and hope that I can post all the things shortly. I am having a lot of fun creating everything, and hope I can keep up the momentum.

We have been having just a bit of bad luck today....not really bad luck but just frustration with things that should only take 15 mins but instead take about 5 hours!! Like the itunes not installing correctly and day 2 of R figuring it out he had to call apple support. You know something has gone wrong when he calls for support, seriously the man knows everything about computers...or almost as much as one of my fav. cousins in law does. The other thing was threading a drawsting (part of that secret project) through the waist... it is still sitting there. I have had to seam rip areas to get the safety pin through, and it's just annoying.

Anyhoo... I had a fun day, and I hope you did too.

also I believe it is my friend KJ's birthday, Happy Birthday!!

Bestie's Birthday

Baby T's best bud had his first birthday party yesterday. It was outside in the lovely weather and the kids played in the kiddie pools. Baby T had a great time! Birthday boy fell asleep before opening presents but this is what he will see when he opens this one.

gift for mom-mom

My sister and I made this for our mom while I was at her house. We gave it to mom-mom when we went up to her house. She loved it of course! CC even helped out with the paint, so that made it extra special. The back of the bag says MOM-MOM to give a personal touch...Happy Mothers Day!!

Not Finished Yet

Today was supposed to be the day I finished all the projects I wanted to get done before we leave for vacation, but it did not go as planned. I did manage to do a lot of stuff, just not what stuff I wanted to do. The only thing I finished was the baby onsie for a friends shower. She is moving to Wisconsin where some family is and so I decided to go with the outline of the state and 'say cheese' saying. It turned out pretty cute I think! The other stuff I did was mostly housework, and I don't think that is all finished either...there are a few diapers waiting to be folded =/ Anyhoo... I will just hope that tomorrow I can get a lot done during the day. Maybe baby T will take a long morning nap, she only just went to sleep about 30 mins ago (its late). So now I have a little over a week to pack for a trip to doe bay, a trip out east and to pack for moving into our new home all by April 1st!!! Wish me luck!
