Day 233

Owl tee to Tank

I made this tee two weeks ago and decided that I didn't like the tee 
(loved the owls but not the cut of the tee). 
So I cut and sewed it till I got a fun tank top.

Day 231

Dog Gate


So Mr. Chief finally figured out how to get past my previous 
attempt to preventing him from going upstairs so I decided to 
give this a try.  Cause plain old baby gates are boring and
unattractive.  So I cut 2 PVC pipes the width of the staircase and 
2 pipes about 16inches tall.  Connected them with PVC elbows.
Then made a slip cover to go around it.  It slips between
the railings and is super easy to step over (well if your human
and not a four legged beast).  Its great because now 
I can make slip covers for every season! :)

Day 229

Ribbon Flowers


This is too cool!!  Cut petals out of ribbon.  Then using a lighter, very carefully
burn the edges of the petal just quick enough to seal the edges.  Glue the 
petals together and add a button or rhinestones to the middle.

Screen Print Owl Tee

To make the screen print I stretched a piece of an old

an owl stencil and taped it to the screen print.  Used some 
fabric paint and VOILA! OWL TEE!! :)

Flat Burlap Wreath


I needed a wreath that was flat and the only ones I had were
either foam, or an wire wreath, so I took apart one of the wire wreathes 
and wrapped it in burlap :)
