It is Official...

Little Bit had her kindergarten evaluation today. It went fairly well. Not a lot of feedback other than she had trouble focusing but she did answer most of the questions correctly. We are to get a call by August from her teacher, once they assign classes. Sniff!

Also today, I listed 2 new baby bodysuits. These designs can be put on any size baby bodysuit or Toddler shirt so just convo me if you need a different size.

Dresser Makeover!

So I wanted a new dresser that I could use for storage of my fabric and vinyl, as well as use it to iron on. I asked around, looked on Craigslist, etc. My cousin texted me one day and asked if I found one yet. I said no. Her father in law had one that he was going to sell. It was the perfect size! But really, REALLY dirty. But it was $40. So my dad brought it up here for me when he came for Little Bit's birthday party. And since she is visiting them this weekend, I tackled the dresser. I had cleaned it up a few days ago so all I had to do was paint. It took about 4 coats but I LOVE IT!

Here are some progress pictures:

This is it at my cousin's father in law's house

 

Home and dusted off

Debating on a color

 

Chose Valspar - Top Banana

1st coat is on!

 

After soaking in Vinegar for a couple of days, and a good scrubbing, the knobs were ready for painting. I used Valspar Spray Paint, White

Another coat (not sure if this was 2 or 3)

 

And here she is! She is not perfect but that adds to the charm of her.

Fabric appliques

So the real reason I wanted the Silhouette Portrait was the ability to cut shapes out of fabric. I kinda got side tracked with the vinyl aspect but I am back to fabric! I have made 4 baby bodysuits over the last couple of days. Here they are, all are listed in my shop for $15 plus shipping. If you need a different size or want a different shape, let me know!

Thomas the Train and Chuggington Birthday Party

Well here is the final results of the much planned 5th Birthday party for my daughter.

Picture overload ahead: Shirts were made by me with heat transfer vinyl and cut out with my Silhouette.

Old suitcase to hold the party favors (some are in a metal tin), banner was made using my Silhouette Portrait.

How cute is Little Bit in her shirt!

Yup, we rent a trackless train for everyone to ride. The kids and adults loved it. It was full the entire hour!

Her cake!

I used blind slats and vinyl to make the crossing sign (and yes I fussed at hubby for putting it on the pole)

Traintastic Family with our train shirts! (this was at the end of the party and I was tired! We had about 15 kids and 20 adults!)

Finally..a new item in the shop. :)

I have had this fabric for a month or so now and wanted to make this set but never got time. Well Little Bit got home today but was super tired so she went to sleep so I decided I felt like sewing. It felt good. I am still sore but doing better each day.

Look at this cute fabric! I love it!
