Bobbi called me the other day because she couldn't stop laughing...about something that happened like 5 years ago. We were playing CatchPhrase in her bedroom and something funny happened...and I fell backwards right off the bed!
I made some shirts and onesies for the nieces and nephews...here are a matching pair that I did with iron-on inkjet transfers. Notice the 1337-ness of these!
The rest I did with freezer paper stencils. Which are, to say the least, the shit. I had good luck finding images on stock photo sites to base my designs off of. While this takes some skill with an x-acto knife, the designs come out crisp, clear, and soft (if you use fabric paint, which I highly recommend.)
I washed all the shirts inside-out in cold water and nothing came off. The best part? Rob and Ally seemed to like everything a lot.
I made the four kids a coordinating set of shirts. Dorky, but cute...
I'm currently working on my portion of the twins' baby quilts, a surprise quilt for an ADL member, and designing a birth announcement. Uh, and studying for the GMAT. And trying to find a house with Jeremy that we both want to buy. And, you know, working and stuff ;)
Gratuitous nephew pictures:
Robbie looks nearly identical to Rob did when he was a newborn...
Charlie chillaxin'...with a Grammie-knit blanket!
Here you can really see the differences and similarities in their features. Also: holy cow, there are two of them!
As an aside, I seem to have lost my break-the-baby fear in the years since Brianna was born. Must've been from working at the Portrait Studio. I had absolutely no fear about scooping 'em up. Weird.

These shirts are AWESOME!
The shirts look like they came from a $$ boutique on Melrose! Too cool!
The twins are darling.
Where do you buy the freezer paper? I cant find any.
love all the onesies--great work! Your L gene is showing. Now, tell me again when you have time to do all this?
