How Many Letter Pressed Invitations??

October 28, 2010

Guess how many letter pressed invitations are in these two boxes?!?

It’s kind of like that guessing game you played at baby showers or harvest parties. How many diaper pins are in this jar? How many candy corns are in this vase?

Well folks,…the winning answer…

2,600 Invitations. My largest job yet!

Now, if you’ve ever wondered what 2,600 letter pressed invitations look like all packed up,…you will NOW know.

Aren’t you thrilled?!

Just like this…

Did you think there were more?! Or less?! Did I trick you?!

A more detailed post will be coming soon, but I had to share these with you!

big sister t-shirt

October 25, 2010

A few people have asked about Ruby’s “Big Sister” t-shirt.

Too bad I didn’t take any pictures of the steps, but I thought I’d at least explain what I did to make the sweet little tee!

1. Heat ‘N Bond iron-on adhesive: Iron fabric onto adhesive then draw the letters onto the fabric with a thin sharpie.

2. After the letters are drawn onto the fabric, cut them out and place on t-shirt.

3. Iron the letters onto the fabric (I used a medium setting).

4. I then tried to sew around the letters,….FAIL. They were WAY TOO SMALL. So, I gave that up and just stuck with the adhesive. It wasn’t perfect, but it definitely worked!

If anyone tries it out, let me know how it goes!

Simple Jack ‘O Lantern Craft

October 20, 2010

Last week Ruby had a friend over and we decided to do a little festive craft.

I drew and then cut out the shapes to make a jack ‘o lantern. The 1st piece was the body of the pumpkin, the 2nd piece was the stem, and the third pieces were the eyes, nose, and mouth. Pretty basic shapes to draw onto construction paper and then cut.

After I cut out the basic shapes for them, I then had the girls glue the pieces onto the pumpkin (of course I helped Ruby a bunch on this!).

Once the pieces were glued on, we then decorated with 2 simple supplies…glitter glue and sequins. They had a blast with the glitter glue and of course the sequins!

Such a sweet and simple little craft to add some festivity to the season!

(note: the crazy splotches on the pumpkin were wet glue! The splotches faded after the glue dried!)
