Flashback Friday: Sibling Shirts

This was SO fun for me to look at today while I was preparing this post! You know I love making sibling shirts... Big Sis, Big Bro, Little Sis, Little Bro.... I've made lots for gifts and to sell.

 I can't believe my little guy wasn't even born yet when I first posted this! 

Here is what I wrote in Aug 2010...

Big/Little Brother/Sister

I'm so excited I finished my shirts!

Now all we have to do is wait....

will it be Little Brother or Sister?

I used fabric paint and freezer paper to do stenciling for the first time. I LOVE it! I can't wait to find more projects to stencil! I embellished the paint with some stitches on my machine. I think it would have been cuter hand stitched, but I just wanted to get finished. The big brother shirt I made from scratch using two old t-shirts. And the onsies were white new-born size ones I already had.

I added the cuff and ruffle to the onsies to make them match a little better.

Oh, and since I won't be using both little shirts... (I'm not having twins!). I'll do a give-away in a couple of weeks with the one I don't need! Stay tuned! I did giveaway the girl one... one of my first giveaways!

And...this was the picture I posted just a few weeks later... It was a BOY!!!

oh wow! That little newborn is now on his was to THREE! 

Here are a few other styles I've made over the years:

Sister Shirts

Felt Sibling Shirts

***my new favorite style!!! I'm currently taking custom orders for these type of shirts... Please e-mail me if you are interested**** nap-timecreations@hotmail.com

I'm asking for help!} I really want to make blogging my part time job, and right now, its taking the time, but I just don't seem to see the returns that I see on other blogs. Here are my current stats {after 3+ years}

Golf Ball Family Tree {Father's Day Gift idea}

I've been saving this project since Christmas! This Golf Ball Family Tree would make an incredible Father's Day Gift, and that's why I've waiting until now to post! This is the perfect gift for that dad, grandpa, father-in-law who loves hims family and golf. I hope you enjoy this post and I would LOVE to see any version that you make.

We made this project for my Father-in-Law for Christmas and I must give the idea credit to my husband! Together we worked together to make his vision a reality.
