Happy Friday!

I am just loving all the sun! So much sun and wonderful heat here in beautiful BC. The only thing I don't like when it is so hot is my complete lack of energy. It is just too hot to do anything. That is alright though...this can be a relaxed, lounge around the yard kind of week. :) I would take the extreme heat over the cold any day. Anyways...on to my project of the day...


I wanted to share with you a neat idea that I came up with the other day. I had put Emilia's hair up in a pony tail and wanted to make it look a little more dressy so I decided to put in some lace. I found this old piece of lace in my sewing stash, it is a beautiful piece of double row eyelet...sew nice! I took the piece of lace and tied one end to her pony. Then I wrapped the lace around and around until I got to the end. At the end I tucked the raw edge in and bobby pinned it so that it was secure. It turned out great! I think it looks a little like a rosette. Sew pretty! And sew easy! My two favorite things.

Fixed Lego Shirt

Good Morning!

Give me a cheer for finishing a project! I finally fixed the lego t-shirt for my son. I turned out great! I am so impressed with the freezer paper stenciling my head is spinning with ideas for all sorts of projects...So excited! Thinking of doing a shirt for myself with a peacock feather on the front, might have to paint that one by hand with acrylic paint with textile medium mixed in so that I can blend the colors. Also maybe a butterfly shirt/skirt for my daughter. Hmmm, so many possibilities. I have been searching the net for other ideas...like I need more. ;) It is just fun to look.

Here are some that I like:
