So first thing I've done is rebuild the orca rocking toy. I bought it when the big kid was 2. Then I tried to paint it. And it turned out horribly wrong. So I took it apart and partial sanded it. Then we moved and it moved. In pieces. And so it sat in our garage for the last 5.5 years. And then I got that ultimatum from hubby. Either put it together or give it/throw it away. So without instructions or anything besides a thumbnail picture I found on the internet, I put that sucker together. I still have to repaint it.
And Jet loves it. Although, it's a little big for him. I guess I don't remember it being so tall. And of course, I built it. And now hubby decided that it's too dangerous. LOL. Men. Go figure.
And I've been doing a bit of sewing to. A friend from high school days asked me to make her some toddler pillowcases. She found some she liked on Etsy. And didn't want to pay the high price or the shipping. So I made some. And they turned out incredibly cute. Even though I had to applique. I really need to replace my embroidery machine. When I took it in, they pretty much said that they've discontinued it and whatever parts they can find is it. So I guess I'm turning to applique until I can find an embroidery machine that I like.
Anyhoo. Pillowcases. She wanted minky fabric. Every time I say I'm never working with minky, I'll get another great paying, easy order for something. And then I'm off to the store to buy fabric.
So these are toddler pillowcases. And since I didn't want strings or seams showing, I did french seams all the way around. One was all minky with a flannel name and anchor. The other was minky and flannel with a minky airplane and name.

They turned out really cute. And since I had to order the fabric online and by the yard, I have enough extra to make the boys pillowcases.
And lastly, I was going through my fabric I found a pile of tshirts. Every once in a while hubby brings home a tshirt from a big car weekend that the dealership has printed up. They are those big, box like tshirts that are the cheapest to have printed. You know the wholesale buying. So I spent an afternoon cutting them up to make into tank tops. So I know have a bunch of workout shirts. And summer shirts. It doesn't look like this is going to get cooler any time soon. I'm tired of the heat.
