Lil Blue Boo/Dharma Trading Design Challenge

I recently made one of my nephews a cute tee for summer.   Lil Blue Boo's and  Dharma Trading Company have created a design challenge.  Follow the link (design challenge) to see more information about the challenge.  I decided to enter after I made this shirt! Using a Carter's t-shirt, I removed the pocket to make room for the appliquéd tie.  I then screen printed stripes in black and silver ink from Dharma Trading Company onto a ribbed green cotton knit.  Using wonder under, I attached the tie to the shirt, and hemmed around the entire tie.  I think he looks adorable and so dapper in his tie!!

Pre-K Art Project!

I recently had to opportunity to work with my oldest son's pre-k class on an art project for a big fund raiser that benefits his school.  It's all organized by PTO.  It was so much fun!  I used a tutorial from Lil Blue Boo to start the project.  The kids were allowed to paint what ever they wanted to on the large canvas, then I antiqued it, and added the damask print.  I think it turned out great, and is something I would hang on my wall!  Hopefully it will bring big $$$ in the auction!
