DIY Printing on TShirts

blogangela — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 18:01:20 +0000

A few weeks ago I was making TShirts for a group of teenage girls for their summer camp. I had very little budget and knew it needed to be a do-it-yourself project rather than just order screenprinting. I looked into making a silk screen or even borrowing a friends Yudu machine to do it, but [...]

My second baby boy recently turned 5 years old. Holy smokes, when did that happen?!?!? He requested a tractor themed birthday party.

I love the beach. I love digging my toes into the sand, splashing in the waves, hunting seashells with my kids, chasing seagulls… I love the sound of the ocean and could listen to waves crashing for hours. Reality check: I live in land locked Utah. *sigh* To make up for lack of proximity to [...]
