May: Day 4

I feel like there's a baby explosion going on! We have tons of friends having babies right now, and quite a few of them are boys. I'm just getting started on my projects, but got one adorable onesie ready for a special baby boy who was born recently.

Isn't it cute?!?! He's going to look like such a little man!

May: Day 3

Isn't Ben's mustache shirt hysterical?!?! It seemed like if each of the little boys had their own that Daddy out to have his own too. I'm totally loving it and hope he'll be willing to actually wear it.

I bought a two pack of t-shirts before Christmas and never got around to giving them to the hubs or making them into anything. Finally got around to using one of them. I'm thinking I have a plan for the gray partner to this one, but you'll have to wait and see!

May: Day 2

Project #2: Let's see if I can keep this up!

I'm in the mood for mustaches. Seriously. I bought this t-shirt a few years ago and was just waiting for the right inspiration. My dearest cousin Lydia suggested that my mustache projects were perhaps in honor of my dad, or "Pa" to my boys. I think she may be right!

I used a different strip of the previously mentioned striped polo shirt (again, you'll hear more about that later) to freehand a big, fat mustache and I just love it. Q asked to wear his mustache shirt to church on Sunday. Hmmm.

Happy Birthday to my little man!

Two years ago today my darling little Nolan came into our family. I can't imagine our lives without him. He is the friendliest, most joyful little boy who loves his mama fiercely, adores his Pa, thinks his brother "Chi" is the coolest, wants to be just like Daddy, and will chose "Nonnie's house" over any other destination. I adore him and I can't wait to see the person he becomes.

I love you, Nolan. ♥ Thanks for letting me be your mom.

May makeovers!

So we'll see if I can really keep up with this, but I'd love to be able to post one of my recent or current re-fashions every day this month. We'll see!

Tomorrow is Boo Boo's birthday. Last year I made the boys matching birthday shirts with a big # to show how old they would be. I didn't feel like doing the same thing so I searched around to find something I liked. I found this striped t-shirt this afternoon at Walmart for $3. I'd rather spend less, but Q said he really liked the blue stripes. Sold!

I didn't have a lot of chocolate brown to use so I cut up a striped polo I've been using for some other projects (more about that later...) and used three strips to get enough brown. I had an old t-shirt that Ben's wonderful Aunt gave me that I wore out! But I was able to use the sleeves to make the pink base. A little more of the brown for the accents and voila!!! Here's my baby's big boy birthday shirt!

And a close-up of my cupcake mustache man. I'm really loving the mustache. For real.
