Shirts, Shirts and More Shirts!

So I am officially addicted to the whole, bleach pen/freezer paper stenciling shirt thing!
(First step: admitting there's an addiction)

Ok now that I've got that off my chest here are some pics of shirts I made for my nephews and nice this weekend! (T.T. is nickname for Timmy!)

T.T LOVES Puzzles!

It was late and I was out of ideas on the bleach design for Bryon...turned out really cool though! Yay for tired risks that turn out good!

Hard to see in pic: Blue and Yellow Embriodery Floss in Center of Flowers.

*What not to do: I ironed on the freezer paper stencils the day before then ran out of time. I when ahead and started painting the next day and didn't think to check the seal. Result: some bleeding of the paint. So I am guessing it's best to iron on and paint right away! Or at least check your seal and iron again!

Itsy Bitsy Spider Shirt

Ok I just have to take a second for some self praise...It turned out SOOO cute!! Ok I'm done!

I am so excited about this shirt though! I had mentioned in my Spring Break Extravaganza post where I made Asher's {Spit Happens & Name Tees} that I had a bunch of ideas whirling around in my head and this is the first one to materialize! I used a bleach pen for the web, wool felt for the spider and embroidery floss for the edges. (I'm a big fan of messy floss - love it)

And for those wondering; I did not sew on the spider, that would be my right hand gal Denise.
I still have yet to even touch {"The Machine"}.

I can't wait to see my little cutie in it; however, with his insane rate of growth I purchased an 18m shirt so it might be a few months...weeks...ok ok.. days before he fits it! But I will be sure to post pics when he does!

I also have some thanks to give to Cheri @ {I Am Momma Hear Me Roar} not only for teaching me via blog tuorial how to make these adorable tees but also for featuring my tees on her site!

Wahoo! I Roared!

Spring Break Craft Extravaganza!

Well we didn't get nearly enough projects done but we did make some super snazzy shirts for our boys! Denise also made some super sweet onsies for her niece!

Check out her blog {Wallflower Grown Wild} to see her pics!

(And you really should because hers are way better than mine!)

Now onto my shirts: I was SOOO excited to try making bleach/freezer paper stencil shirts when I saw a tutorial on {I Am Momma Here Me Roar} and I think it's safe to estimate this is rapidly becoming my new addiction! So fun and easy to make I have already purchased a bunch more shirts and have ideas brewing away in my head!

Since I don't yet know how to sew...yes I know I need to learn! (That was one of the Extravaganza projects that got zero attention due to the juggling of a 2yr old, 5 month old and 2 month old!) Denise sewed on my appliques once they were ironed on. Thanks Denise!! I have a few more ideas and some great fabric that never made it to the table so hopefully I'll learn how to sew soon and whip up a few more! The stencil we used for the applique tie was from {Crap I've Made} but I also have this Guitar stencil bookmarked from {Trey and Lucy} and some awesome skull fabric waiting to be cut!

All in all it was a fabulous couple of days hanging with a great friend making some super cute stuff for our babes! Here are pictures of my stuff for the Ash Man! (Silly nickname lovingly given by his Aunt Tenille!)
