Meet the Old School WayneBurger (with Bacon)

I wanted to create a felt burger and knew the perfect person to turn to for official cheeseburger advice. It was fun to have such awesome input in the making of this one. Here's what the Etsy description is:

There is a man who knows cheeseburger perfection, and his name is Wayne. This one meets his strict standards with its white bun, classic (fried) beef patty, American cheese, mustard & mayo, tomato, onion, dill pickle chips and iceberg lettuce. For envelope pushers, we’ve included bacon and a side of fries.

Thank you, Wayne!

I also did some more freezer paper stenciled onesies for a proud Aunt Emily to give to her new nephew. One day I might stop using that cool copper paint, but probably not anytime soon.

I got a screenprinting kit for my birthday and can't wait to try it out. I vowed to finish a slew of projects before I allow myself to dive into it and I'm almost there. So excited!!

I know two awesome couples that got married on September 9th this year! Congrats to Susan and Michael, who let me have fun with their wedding invitations and to Kacy and Boady, who let me have fun with their wedding annoucements!

I made Susan and Michael some flour sack dish clothes with freezer paper stenciled words. I wasn't quite satisfied with just the stencil, so I embroidered around the edges in bright colors. I always forget how long hand embroidery takes, but I always like the end result. Still working on Kacy and Boady's gift...

Black-Out Poetry

This is the latest challenge from SoulPancake. Find a newspaper or magazine (or book you don't mind writing in...) and a sharpie and black out words until your left with poetry. It's as fun as word refrigerator magnets, I promise. And possibly addicting. Both of these are from a parenting magazine. Above is "Dinner" and below, "Big Picture (Cliché)".
