The other day I shared a baby gift I recently gave. Well one of the other items in that basket was a personalized onesie! Using the Plaid Simply Screen Kit I made this cute personalized Owl Onesie.
It's super easy and fun! You just follow the instructions in the kit and within an hour you can have a fun personalized onesie {or bag, shirt, apron, towel, etc.}
I find it easier to get smooth result if I tape down whatever I'm printing on. I use painters tape so it's easy to remove and doesn't leave any residue on the garment.
You can personalize whatever your little heart desires. And since YOU create the stencil your possibilities are literally endless. Here's some previous examples I made using the kit.
Homes can smell like many things, from fresh baked cookies to stinky family pets! In our house we have a stinky dog, a stinky cat, a stinky lizard and a stinky turtle. Yep, we are quite the stinky pet zoo around here! I'm always looking for ways to freshen up the house and make it smell less like a lizard pad, and more like a home.
Glade® has a fun new way to add long lasting, refillable, fragrance, in a stylish new container to compliment your home decor.

Seems like everyone I know is poppin out a baby! And what a perfect excuse to practice my sewing skills, or lack thereof!
I love giving "handmade" baby gifts, they are personal, unique and can be fun to make {and hopefully receive}. I have two friends that were expecting boys so I decided to try my hand at making some blankets and burp cloths.
If you've been a follower of this blog for any amount of time, then you are probably already aware of my horrible sewing skills. It's a good thing these girls love me, b/c these blankets and burp cloths sure turned out a little on the "wonky" side.
I joke that my blankets aren't rectangular, they are trapezoidal. It's funny, because it's true. HA! They certainly aren't perfect, but they are made with love {and blood, sweat and a few curse words! hehehe}
From far away they look pretty good, so I'm ok with that! Besides, they are just going to get spit up on, so they don't have to be perfect, right?
What do you think? Have you been avoiding learning how to use your sewing machine? Don't let fears of imperfection keep you from trying! If I can "sew" then you definitely can too!
