T shirt makeover

This is what I started out with.  A plain yellow t-shirt the girls never wanted to wear.  I picked up a stack of remnant fabric at Walmart with a cool variety of bright colors.

This is what I turned it into...it only took me about 1 1/2 hours (with MANY interruptions I might add).

The girls were thrilled and started arguing over who was going to wear it first.  No problem!  I'm making another one...so I told them they'd have to wait until that one is finished.  The colors are much brighter than they appear...poor quality pic with low lighting.

So an update...I am loving this experience.  The videos are full of so many new techniques and inspiration...I just need to get started myself!  As usual...too many projects going on...I need to finish the second t-shirt project and then I'll dive in to the art journaling I've been learning about.  I will share...I promise.

Gratitude

I just wanted to write to say how thankful I am for everything I have.  I have a job, I have a roof over my head that isn't in an upside down mortgage, and I have a healthy family.  Today I received a lot of bad news at work...something that reminded me to be thankful, and to show gratitude for what I have in my life.  I don't live in a mansion or drive a big fancy car, but I do have a true friend for a husband, a loving extended family and great friends to laugh with.  I think we all need to be reminded, especially in these times of economic strife, to be thankful for the things that are truly important.  We don't need designer clothing, leather furniture or a granite counter top to be happy....we need love, support and laughter.  I pray for all that need more of those three things in their lives, rather than pray for material things that do nothing but eat up our savings and only enhance our outer lives.  Have a loving, supportive and laugh filled day.
