Last year, I made a Minnie Mouse t-shirt inspired by a shirt seen on Zulily. When I made that shirt, I bought an extra one to practice on. It was good that I did, but then I had an extra t-shirt sitting around. I forgot about it until I cleaned out my craft room. My baby cousin's birthday party was coming up so I knew I should decorate the plain … [Read more...]

I found these hats at my local craft store in their Ky Derby Hat … [Read more...]
