Red Roses

I participated in a Bowl-a-thon to raise money for Junior Achievement.
We were Pirates, Salty Sailors really.
I decided we need to have some red roses to go with our attire.
I was inspired by this Felt Flower Tutorial
So I purchased an XL red shirt and started cutting.
I made about 8 red flowers and then had to make some purple ones too out of an old shirt that was no longer useable.

We finally made it to the neighborhood pool!

Tie Dye Shirts

We have a shirt design every year for the Fireworks Follies

After our T&C trip we decided to do white and tie dye the shirts of those that wanted it.  To make the heart (and star too) we folded the shirt in half length wise and drew half a heart.  Start at one end and scrunch following the line until you get to the other end.  tie off with rubber bands.

Stars & Stripes Shirts

I made the boys "Stars & Stripes" shirts using my Silhouette and some heat transfer vinyl from http://www.expressionsvinyl.com/

FAVORITE shirt AGAIN

This was D's FAVORITE long sleeve shirt!

He got it for his birthday and wore it at LEAST 2 times a week.

I can't believe these are the only two pictures I could find (B took the one on the right)

The PROBLEM:  He's too tall for the shirt.  Looks like a crop top three quarter length sleeve, NOT RIGHT for a boy shirt!  He's NOT ready to give it up and I wasn't ready to let him look like that.

SO we went to Hobby Lobby purchased a $3 short sleeve shirt (summer is just around the corner and if he needs long sleeves he can stick a long sleeve under the short sleeve.)
