Cute and Fun Shirts...

I am a BIG fan of JJ Heller's music and recently discovered that she has a blog http://thelovelylittlethings.blogspot.com/ that is all about her life and the FUN projects that she does.... She posted some things she has made recently for her adorable baby girl that I just HAD to try... so I followed her advice and went over to this blog http://lilblueboo.blogspot.com/ to get some much need instruction AND some more ideas!

I have a friend who is going to take some pics with me this weekend in Sedona of the twins.... I want some pics of them TOGETHER as kind of like their 2 year birthday pics... but didn't want to take them to get the normal posed pics... who am I kidding... there is NO posing them anyways.... we will be doing family portaits with Kathy Cole in November - so this is like a dry run..

That is where the two sites I listed above merged into my quest for cute shirts that were similar but not too matchy matchy.... and I came up with the idea of a shirt that had a giant "2" on them.... So, I read through all the instructions and set out for JoAnn's Fabrics (and yes Chris that "fabrics" part was just for you~!)

Now, those of you who know me - know that I would never just stop at one idea... I have to go for the gusto... so I went looking for some red materials to make the tutu petticoat that Addie will be sporting in the pictures. And, then I wanted to find some Fall looking material for our TX trip to the Pumpkin patch in October.... Above you will see some of the fabrics I fell in love with.

After following the instructions... Here is the shirt I made for Addie... I LOVE it... so fun, so easy! And, to make the whole thing better - I found the shirts on clearance at Target... seriously paid less than $3 a shirt!

I couldn't let Noah be left out - so the boys have matching materials... you know this will be the only time the shirts will be in a picture together right?

Here's a peek at the shirt I made for Addie for the Patch~! Now, I know it will be cool in TX - so I am going to layer it over a long sleeve brown shirt! I LOVE this one too!

And, the others.... good thing we didn't have a fourth kid named Emily or something! I am making some more for the cousins in TX... the hard part now is deciding on the fabric! I love that polka dot pattern... AND... of course - I need to add a butterfly to the back side of Addie's shirt - prob on the lower right corner... just some flair!
