A side project

If you arrived here looking for the Sew, Mama, Sew! Giveaway, go here to enter. As I write this there are over 130 entries and that means that I am giving away 2 prizes. If I get over 200 entries I will give away 3! If you haven't entered yet, what are you waiting for. Go there and then come back here. I'll wait.

OK, you're back. Here's a little project that I did recently for Chris.

I dyed a long sleeved t-shirt light blue and then used 2 fist stamps from Fred B. Mullett to print the fish. These stamps have a lot of fine detail and I was worried that they might not print well on the shirt. I practiced on one of his old t-shirts and it worked fine. I've been using Simply Screen screen printing ink lately with my stamps and I love it. I paint it think on a solid surface, like a pane of glass and then press the stamp on the glass to pick up the paint. It works great and Chris loved the shirt.

In other news, the party last night was a lot of fun and people seemed to like the ornaments. I volunteered to host the party every year because it really motivated us to get a few things done around here. We got the living room art hung, a lot of junk tossed out and many things rearranged. It was all good!

Nothing like guests as decorating motivators! Works for me too. One year I wanted to have my dining room draperies done before Rian arrived for IQF.
