I made some shirts for my kiddos for Christmas!

This one is for my daughter:


So is this one.  She LOOOOOOVES giraffes!  I did the background swirls with bleach and a Q-tip, then stenciled on the basic shape of the giraffe.  The details were done freehand.


This one is for my son - one of his favorite bands:

My two boys are always play fighting, but pillowfighting is a fave around our house!  So for Christmas, I made them some weapons!




These are supposed to be nunchucks... can you tell? 


I considered adding a couple beans to these to give them weight - they aren't going to go very far being thrown... but then I thought if they get to lobbing them hard at each other, that could be baaad...  besides, they're already wrapped for Christmas, so if it turns out I need to do some adjustments, I'll add some rice or something later.


And all together in their drawstring bag:

gorgeous!!

SiakelA and Twisted Truth:  I messaged you --- sent my package yesterday!  Woo hoo!

I'd like to go on record to say that everything that's been said already was exactly what I was gonna say!  Love it!  making something beautiful (especially out of "another man's trash") is such a happy thing!  Love everything about this; nice job!

Not usually  a big fan of hooplas, but this one I LOVE. "this rocks" and pinned!

very clever!!!  I love it when people are resourceful!! 

Thank you for your kind compliments!  As far as i know, that's my first "this rocks"! I feel like I've joined an elite club!    I hope my son likes it as much as you all do! 

I love making over old jewelry into something new!  Awesome job!

Yes, elegant is definitely a good descriptor!  Lovely job!
