Heat Transfer Vinyl Fun

I'm having way too much fun with heat transfer vinyl. Have you heard of it? Used it? It's so fun! I found mine at Pick Your Plum, but Silhouette carries it as well. Combined with my Cricut machine and Target... I'm unstoppable! ;)

I purchased a plain hoodie and some plain shirts, used my Cricut to cut out desired designs, ironed it on and kal-a-ma-zoo we have cute personalized shirts!

Here is Micah's new WSU hoodie, daddy is so proud!

 

And now little boy is so proud of his GREEN train shirt. This kid LOVES the color green, and the other day Hallie asked him, "Micah. When are you going to stop liking trains?" He replied, "NEHHAVERRR!" Yup pretty much I believe him 100%. This kid is passionate about all things train. Needless to say he loves it.

And this little girl loves all things princess and butterfly. It's difficult to see with the harsh sunlight, but her shirt says, "Once upon a time" and has a butterfly passing through it.

Two happy kids, once their mean mom let them go in out of the freezing cold wind! ;) Brrr! 

Valentine's Day Outift

Hi friends! It's been too long. :)

I am absolutely in {love} with this outfit! 

Complete with ruffles and polka dots galore!

Her shirt is designed using my Cricut and Heat Transfer Vinyl. (love!)

The skirt is a basic toddler skirt patterned after another skirt she owns, with just a little extra added length. I then simply added three rows of ruffles around the bottom. 

 

I'm so in love with the classic black and white look, it'll be so fun to accessorize!

Then I sent all that cuteness packing!

 

But not before a shot of her matching headband, because seriously what outfit would be complete without a matching hair accessory.  ;)

I've created a list of activities for the kids and I to do until Christmas.  We will select one each day to complete.  I'm hoping this will help the deployment speed along and keep us nice and busy!

Wreath Update

If you've followed my sporadic postings over the last couple years you may have noticed a recurring trend of my family and I moving frequently.  Well that time has come again and we have moved away from our little piece of paradise outside of Yelm.  We are preparing for my husbands upcoming deployment by moving closer to family.  This move and deployment have me reflecting on life, people we have met, relationships that have developed and what home means to me.  So while this may be just another wreath, to me this was an absolutely therapeutic piece of crafting with so much meaning behind it.  I am so thankful for all of our adventures we have had and the many more adventures which are to come, the awesome people we have met on the way, the friendships we have built, and today I am really thankful for us being together as a family.  

Thanks for bearing with me through all my cheese on this post, and enjoy the wreath, which is an updated version of this wreath! :)

Craft Booth Design

Wow! My sister and I put together a booth for the sidewalk squatters show in the parking lot next to Art in the Park in Richland.  Minus the 3am nights for way too many nights it was a ton of fun! We had to scrap our original plan because we ended up being on a pretty decent incline, but we made it work and here's what we came up with for our displays...

 

Happy Independence Day!

Hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day!  We spent the 4th soaking up the sun with my sisters in a magical place. In fact we spent 4 days in this magical place and enjoyed every minute of it. In fact in the 30 minutes it took to drive from I-90 to our campground we decided this may be our new location for our property search.  Have I mentioned how much I love the state of Washington!? 

Oh and what's that you say about being a crafting blog? Yea, I'll get to that soon. :)
