Shirts! And a lot of them!

I've been making t-shirts and onesies as birthday presents, baby shower gifts, and Christmas presents for a while.  I take lots of time to very little time to design them depending on how well I know the kid.  Is that ugly?  I hope not.  And frankly, with my skills it probably doesn't make any difference how much time I spend designing them; they'll all turn out about the same.

Here's a couple for Baby Caitlyn:
(The colors on the blue one look weird in the picture, but they were cute in the RL (real life).  What?

I think the arrow is pretty funny if I do say so myself.  It's not pointing to the Gerber baby on the label, but rather to Caitlyn's face.  In theory.

Here's one for Rachel's 1st birthday:

And the back:

All ready to be wrapped:

The problem with these presents is that I'm usually in such a hurry to get to the party that I take the worst pictures! :)

I spent a pretty long time drawing these toe-shoes for a little girl who loves dancing. What is it that compels me to draw what is probably available as free clipart online? I don't know. But I did, and I think they turned out pretty cute.

Gavin's Soccer shirt:

The bottom:

I did this same concept with a baseball and bat, and it turned out pretty cute too.

Simple little Milla shirt:

Sorry about the wrinkles in all these pictures.  It was late at night and I just wanted to go to bed!  The shirts looked absolutely marvelous when folded. :)

And one I made for my brother with a permanent name badge on the front:

The back had a prospective logo for a business/restaurant idea he has with which he will someday make bank.  Maybe he'll give me a share or two for making him this awesome shirt.

I have a couple others more recently made or to make that I'll post after I send them off.  It really is fun to make these shirts.  I hope that they are enjoyed!

Play Kitchen: Painting

After sanding and cleaning the cabinets very well, I painted them all with a coat of primer.  I skipped one of the doors for some reason, and I can tell you that I'm definitely a fan of primer.  It makes everything look so much better.

After the primer, I did about 2 coats of cheap walmart paint before I gave up and used some paint from Kwalls.  I did not buy paint for anything in this project. I only used what was on hand.
