T-shirt Quilt

Mismatched Monday at camp!

I have been saving all Robin's camp t-shirts since she started going to camp 6 years ago.  My plan is to make a T-shirt quilt for her to use as her blanket on her bunk at camp  I have plenty of shirts, but I am terrified of my sewing machine.  I have managed to successfully make bean bags for my classroom...sensory bags for my classroom...and several sock monsters that in my opinion turned out pretty well.  Those projects really only required me to sew in a straight line.  When I look at the pile of t-shirts and think about the sewing skill that will be necessary to turn them into anything worth saving my skin starts to itch a little.  




I have spent the last week trying to kick a nasty case of bronchitis.  This gave me way toooo much time to cruise different blogs and pinterest.  I found an amazing blog called C.R.A.F.T.  The woman who posts here makes things that are usually free and always adorable.  Guess what...I found a tutorial for a t-shirt quilt.  She actually says that if you can sew in a straight line (I can!!!) you can make this quilt.  So it looks like Robin might have a t-shit quilt by the time she leaves for camp next summer.  Please visit C.R.A.F.T. (creating really awesome free things).  Click on the picture of the quilt and it will take you there!




I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

thankfulness...day 76

Yup...tiny batman...found a little lady!

Today I am thankful for tiny superheroes.  I have already posted about my love of tiny batman.  He is so precious in his itty bitty compact package.  He attended the NOCC walk and rode on my hat in my friend Tish's place.  At brunch after the walk I couldn't resist taking a few pics.  I mean really how can you resist his adorable tiny face!  Even the tiny girls with guns at the restaurant dug him!  Colton's dinosaur was totally threatened by his sheer magnitude!

Kindly release me Edmontasaur...do you see my utility belt?

Well today I discovered a new tiny superhero of my dreams...
Wow...I have been battling fever...general achyness...and a chest crushing cough.  I have avoided laughing on purpose because it really tunes up the cough.  Oh man...when this commercial came on and he used the force on that baby doll I lost it...tears streaming down my face....lung expelling cough...laughing!  So worth it...ADORABLE.  SOOO today I am thankful for a mind clearing laugh. Thanks VW!!! I needed that!


Love you lots and lots
Sarah
