easy crafty tee

First, here's another little welcome home gift from the kids...

So nice.

Okay. This is totally easy guys. I wanted a comfy tee, with something really simple. So I bought a $3 Hanes at WalMart, got out my acrylics and textile medium, and sketched out some ideas; a tree, one little heart, a star, etc...but my kids made the cut. Unfortuneately, it shrunk a bunch when I washed it, so it's kinda unwearable now.

Textile Medium is right there with the paints...you just mix a little with your acrylic paint, and get creative. It looks better after it's washed. Easy. I love it.

i turned my back for a minute...


and joey decided time-out was a good time to nap.


yup, i'm home.

hey kids, this is what I did today...

I tried to find Rachel Ray, to give her my smoothie recipe, Jake. But I couldn't find her. So Food Network invited me to take some pictures by their sign, instead. Well, I, uh, invited myself, to take a picture...


Your cutie cousin Jaden, and uncle JD.



There were weird dancers dancing with cupcakes across from Magnolia Bakery.
We decided not to wait in the humongo line, and went for some rice pudding instead.

We sat in a park and ate our rice pudding.
Mmm. Chocolate Hazelnut. So yummy


I got excited about the Scholastic Book Headquarters...
and they had a store. So I shopped.

And look who I ran into. An international celebrity.

I love you.
And I miss daddy, a lot.

Okay, seriously.  I'm seriously trying to sleep.

maybe

I'm going to try clothes this summer. Skirts. Tee-shirts. Tops. Pants.

That's my ticket into the world of fabric design. Come up with some fabulous clothing. Open a wildly popular etsy shop. Wake up one morning with the ability to draw. Pull more time out of the universe. And dream a little more.

iwanna

I'm playing the iwanna game today.

Because it's quilters market season. So everywhere i look there are peeks of fabulous booths, fabrics, designers, and envy oozing out of every click.

oh, patience and gratitude, be my friend today.
