grandpa superman

Last week, I received a frightening text from my Mom telling me that she had my Dad at the ER with chest pain. Go here to read the full details. After a LONG day of tests and one ride in a helicopter, my Dad was scheduled for triple bypass surgery. THANKFULLY the surgery was a success after millions of prayers! It was hard to be away from family during this stressful time and I wanted to help in anyway, but knew there wasn't anything I could do hundreds of miles away. So...this is what I came up with. Lame...I know. He is having open-heart surgery and I make him a shirt? [sigh] I felt helpless. (superman logo found here , and t-shirt how-to found here ) Dad....I think you're Superman and I'm so grateful you're alive & well. P.S. All this stress led me to do the one thing I do to keep busy....SEW! Oh man, wait til you see what I accomplished last week to keep me from worrying too much.

march challenge

Green challenge : old into new baby girl skirt Fabric: blue (the next shirt is GREEN ) stripe maternity shirt Pattern: baby girl's waist Other finished GREEN projects: Seasonal Souvenier's challenge project Denise Dreaming of Stitches Danica I was cleaning out my closet by filling a bag of unused, old, ugly, outdated clothes to take to goodwill and decided I would try to re-use/recycle some goods. I have a stack of shirts to turn into skirts & dresses for my little girl and can't wait to see how they turn out. Nothing too fancy or too fun for this month's challenge, but I learned something new, created something great, and am finding other ways to go GREEN . More GREEN projects coming for this month. This.... into this. Here are a few other projects finished for my " march challenge: green ." This... into this... This...used to be a long-sleeved button-up shirt of mine that I NEVER wore...turned into this... see amazing shirt dress tutorial here ....

poppy fields dress

I LOVE little girl dresses! This material caught me and wouldn't let me leave the store until I bought a yard. It is corduroy and perfect for fall. Within a day and a half, I designed a pattern and completed a dress for my baby girl. I'm finishing up the pattern. Add jacket, bracelet, shoes, hair flower, AND cute baby girl.
