June-July-August seem to be the best time of year for those I love to get married, have babies (or showers), graduate and be born. I’ve got celebrations galore to celebrate and lots and lots of fun crafting ahead of me. Although, if I run out of time, I might cheat a little bit and just create a PERSONALIZED PHOTO BLANKET online instead.
These onesies are one of my new favorites. I watch the sales for onsies at Tarjay and scoop them up in bulk. Add a dash of Sublime Stitching magic and voila — and easy peasy baby gift. {A trick to embroidering on cotton: if you add a bit of iron-on interfacing on the back of your t-shirt before embroidering, your work will be more even. After the fact, cut another piece of interfacing the same size and iron it over the back of your work to sandwich in your work and keep it from fraying/coming out in the wash.}
As for birthday presents, I’m giving one of my favorite gifts to receive: a new fun summer mix of music in a homemade card. Because nothing says Feliz Cumpleanos! like a dash of Frida and dia de los muertos skulls.
I so love summer crafts that don’t make me cranky with their difficulty. Phoenix is cranky enough this time of year!
