T-Rex T-Shirt Applique

I LOVE this dino applique that Samster Mommy has on her blog. She even shares tips for those of us who have not done applique before. Yes, that would be me.

Having a son who loves dinos, I can totally see making coordinating (but not matching) t-shirts for #1 son and myself. Now I just have to find some fabric in the stash that will work and buy some wonder under.

I've wanted to do applique for a long time, and now there's no excuse not to. Wish me luck!

Cards, Cards & More Cards

A few weeks ago, a friend emailed to ask if I'd like to join her at a bazaar and sell some of my cards. After some serious thought, I said YES!

Knowing that I'm a slow crafter and like to take my time, I knew I'd have to turn up the motor and get going right away. I decided that 25-30 cards would be a good amount to have on hand. As of today, I have 21----whew! I have been eating, drinking and breathing cards and I'm creatively and mentally exhausted. And I'm not done yet. Tomorrow I have a school mtg, and errands to run. And I need to have all my cards done and ready to deliver by Friday night.

No pics yet.

As soon as this card making frenzy is over, I have cute pajama fabric for my son and purple jersey for a top for me.

Til next time ...
